No I haven't. But this is a topic which is of great importance to me. Both my grandmother and my older sister developed Diabetes later in life. So I am really careful,, or I try to be, about my simple sugar/carbohydrate input. I will definitely have to start researching on this. If you happen to have any articles that you enjoyed please post, as I would definitely be interested in learning as much as possible.

It never fails to amaze me at the amount of nutritional information that is continually being discovered! I think the change-over in our healthcare system from diseases-based medicine, to preventative medicine and nutrition is the best possible scenario in keeping our population as a whole healthy.
I just finished the book, "Essentials of the US Health Care System" by Leiyu Shi and Douglas Singh. It was amazing, eye-opening, and yet horrific all at the same time.
Ehhh ooooo...I am prattling again.

But thanks for posting and if you see any articles interesting ....please feel free to send me the links....always interested!
