Comments on: Day 67: My Latest Scheme to Combat Sugar Cravings http://www.ayearwithoutcandy.com/?p=854 This American candy addict/journalist in France writes about quitting candy – and all desserts – for at least one year Sun, 15 Sep 2013 22:27:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Meg http://www.ayearwithoutcandy.com/?p=854&cpage=1#comment-187 Meg Wed, 05 May 2010 13:30:56 +0000 http://www.ayearwithoutcandy.com/?p=854#comment-187 Here's a snippet from my fitness discussion board: "CASSIA CINNAMON to stabilize blood sugar and cortisol levels" Personally, I think sometimes there is an exaggerated emphasis on blood sugar normalization. (I know, blasphemous! ha!) Let's bear in mind that the Glycemic Index was developed to help insulin-dependent diabetics stabilize blood sugar. Those of us without this disease have less of a problem. Yes, it's true that high-GI foods such as sugar & white flour can wreak havoc on our blood sugar. However, sugar & white flour are dreadful foods for a host of other reasons! Therefore, I'll assume that anyone with any knowledge of nutrition is already striving to avoid them! Therefore if you're already eating a diet high in whole grains, fruits & veggies & low in processed 'junk' *AND* you don't have insulin-dependent diabetes, shouldn't you already have stable blood sugar? LOL, sorry if I"m bursting your bubble! :) Here’s a snippet from my fitness discussion board:

I too, am looking for the next "cure"!
