Sweet potatoes

If you can tolerate sweet potatoes.......according to a nutritional website they are now called the antidiabetic food and actually stabilize blood glucose levels.......here is that section.... An "Antidiabetic" Food Second is the recent classification of sweet potato as an "antidiabetic" food. Sweet potato has been given this label because of some recent animal studies in which sweet potato helped stabilize blood sugar levels and lowered insulin resistance. (Insulin resistance is a problem caused when cells don't respond to the hormone insulin, which is supposed to act as a key and unlock the cell in order to allow sugar to pass from the blood into the cell). Some of its blood sugar regulatory properties may come from the fact that sweet potatoes are concentrated in carotenoids. Research has suggested that physiological levels, as well as dietary intake, of carotenoids may be inversely associated with insulin resistance and high blood sugar levels. Once again, more research is needed in this area, but the stage is set for sweet potato to show unique healing properties in the area of blood sugar control. This came from www.whfoods.com -----it is a good website for info on food content and effect on the body. I love sweet potatoes and eat them almost everyday.

Thanks NeeCee! You really made me smile but I don't know about gorgeous! BTW....My husband never eats them, I cook them for myself. I buy them and freeze some, when I don't eat them first. LOL!
