Regarding the toast and popcorn, as you...Heh, Heh!<br /><br />Regarding the toast and popcorn, as you guessed, I do not suffer from uncorrected metabolic syndrome and its big downside - small LDL. So, I cheat a little. You are right, I probably shouldn't but hey, I'm human! I also drink WAY MORE red wine than I should (just finished a couple glasses). Like Dr. Davis once told me, "What good is it if I keep you alive but you're miserable."<br /><br />Regarding the popcorn - it gets a bad rap. It has a high glycemic index but a low glycemic load. In short, while it has a ton of carbs per unit weight, most of the volume is air. Same thing with carrots. Even tho' the glycemic index is high, you can eat a lot because its mostly air! You don't get many carbs per unit volume. Just don't eat a cubic mile of it! The moral of the story, look at both glycemic index AND glycemic load. Hey, maybe that would be a good blog topic.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />HHHeartHawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13602052440926075973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616297333738590187.post-81689922551651722672007-02-06T17:44:00.000-05:002007-02-06T17:44:00.000-05:00What are you doing eating toast and popcorn?

Small LDL??? <br /><br />And popcorn! Omega-6's anyone???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616297333738590187.post-29222559474830812842007-02-06T10:12:00.000-05:002007-02-06T10:12:00.000-05:00Hearthawk,
i really have to agree with you on this...Hearthawk,<br />i really have to agree with you on this one. I've always been a butter or nothing sort of guy. I have never found another fake butter that tasted good. But to me Benecol really tastes good and is a treat. May I suggest trying it with scottish oatcakes, a wheat free product that is very tasty.<br />Best,<br />JimJJChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00033926361627164233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616297333738590187.post-77415344015174801132007-02-05T23:37:00.000-05:002007-02-05T23:37:00.000-05:00Yes, thank goodness for small favors... not to men...Yes, thank goodness for small favors... not to mention avoiding the constipating effects of Zetia (ezetimibe) for some folks... I personally have not found that to be the case with the stanols in Benecol. Yes, thanks indeed!<br /><br />This is a very informative blog... keep up the good work!<br /><br />madcookAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
