I'm baaaaaaaack

I had a long absence due to illness, hospitalization, working on a website and writing a book, and all the other crud that happened in between. I'm raring and ready to get my garden started, so will be asking some questions here. Hope all is well with each of you.

too. With cracked chest, I recall no driving for a month and no lifting more than 10 lb for 2 months. Less meat and more vegetables are good for you. Best thing for me was wife attending nutrician lecture in rehab and adjusting our diets accordingly.

Anything that raises blood sugar - in particular, the consumption of refined and easily digestible carbohydrates - will increase the generation of oxidants and free radicals; it will increase the rate of oxidative stress and glycation,and the formation and accumulation of advanced glycation end products. This means that anything that raises blood sugar, by the logic of the carbohydrate hypothesis, will lead to more atherosclerosis and heart disease, more vascular disorders, and a pace of accelerated degeneration, even in those of us who never become diabetic.

Never had a blood sugar problem and avoid sweets and use artificial sweeteners in coffee. If anything, when tested, it is on low side. What I'm talking about can be exemplified from what I read in an old cookbook when talking about steak, they said "plan on a pound to a pound and a half per person."

Best thing I ever heard, "Don't change the menu, just change the ingredients." I could understand that.
