blueberries and making a dessert
I have started eating desserts with blueberries. I have done this because of
the information I got that a steady diet of blueberries might lower my insulin resistance. I take 5 ounces of the plain Greek Yoghurt. This is the stuff that is very low in carbs. I have found no other yoghurt this low. It comes in quarts in a green tub. I then put in a tablespoon of peanut flour and 10 drops of sweetzfree. This is stirred very well. Lastly, blueberries are put in so that they are not broken by stirring. BTW I have found that peanut flour is an excellent flavouring with very low carbs, also quite cheap. If I have a Michelob Ultra before eating this dessert, I will get a drop in BG at 45 minutes. I confess to using alcohol to control my BG. Many of you already know this. I keep this alcohol input to two beers per day. Without using alcohol I will get about a 10 point bump from this dessert. Also, I started R-ALA many months ago and I got sick and quit. I was not sure if it was the R-ALA. I have restarted this medication again about a week ago. I am doing fine so far. I wonder how long it takes to have an effect. Michael (empire of snow) Michigan |

Julie, I hope I get something from it. I will try. I think I remember Susan suggesting it might be beneficial. But, like so many other treatments, what works for one does not work for all. Michael |

I have noticed tht this year teh blueberries and even somd strawberries seem to last for a long time. I have had boxes forover a week without seeign any rotting. does anyone have any idea wat is going on here? It could sve me money by enabling me t buy a larger box at a lower per serving cost. As only one to feed now, I have hesitted to do this, but finally succumbed adn bought a big box and it is lasting! Wendy |

I would suspect they irradiate a lot of the produce, which kills the bacteria that causes rot. Evelyn |

Who knows, it may be the luck of the draw. Wendy |
