Hey,
There's lots of misinformation out there about fats so thought i'd share something most of you probably haven't had a chance to look at: Know Your Fats by Mary Enig, phd.
She's a nutritionist/biochemist--internationally renowned....definitely not mainstream advice, but again, i think getting the best information means hunting down the best (not always most widely available/nor popular) resources. For those so inclined.....Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon is astounding information. Just don't expect to find these ideas 'backed' by the popular press or your run of the mill doc, because you just won't. One more treasure is endocrinologist, Dr. Schwarzbein. She will probably be a breath of fresh air for anyone interested in a more 'natural approach' to their diabetes but who can't/don't/won't/prefer not to go the Bernstein way. Personally, I am reading Bernstein's book at the moment and am fascinated/intrigued/excited by his approach....but then again, I'm not so 'put off' with his recommendations as many of you have stated. I DO understand what some don't like about his approach...mainly the limitations, but there's no way i could justify to myself, not looking deeper into the success of a guy who's lived with diabetes all these years without the complications that so many diabetics suffer, who follow the ADA's recommendations. A guy like that deserves my attention....so, back to his book.
