An interesting thread. Tenet--good to hear your view. I've really been trying to limit the sugar and the processed carbs.
I've been trying to take care of my diabetic mom--who just had a run of rather serious illnesses (UTI, sepsis, kidney failure, pancreaitis, liver dysfunction) that landed her in the hospital and nursing home over the past month, and we're trying to figure out what she CAN eat--she also has neuropathy and possibly some gout, or at least some issues with swelling in the ankles. She's also about 100 pounds overweight (yes, I know that isn't surprising). What is surprising is that her high blood pressure seems to have gone away with only a 30 pound weight loss.
If anyone has ideas, please share. Everything seems to have resolved itself (the human body is amazing) except the UTI and the diabetes; she's had type 2 diabetes for years. Our problems have been that some of the diets seem to contract each other.
Anyways, any thoughts on health and diet are interesting to me.
Thanks!
