I agree Brian. Bibleteacher has brought some pretty helpful hints to the table here in terms of better foods. Ezekiel bread, whole wheat bread and things like Stevia (a natural sweetener) are far better for us than white bread, Splenda, or refined sugar. It takes a miniscule amount of stevia to equal the sweetness of refined sugar, and stevia is available at most health food stores.

Additionally, judging by Bibleteacher's A1C, I think the person is doing a great job of keeping levels in check through the use of diet & see nothing wrong with them trying to share helpful hints.

On another note, I think Linda made some good points in that some people do experience an upset with having to change a lifestyle they've become so used to....that's why for me, it was easier being diagnosed as a child (9). I only had 9 years to become used to the "bad stuff" (i.e. chocolate milk, Yoo-hoos - Yoo-hoos truly are nasty, aren't they!?, candy & other junkfood). While I did go through some rebellious times (teen years), I realized that eating that garbage just wasn't cutting it.

I haven't fully adopted a natural way of eating due to the fact that prices tend to be higher....However, I do my best to eat more naturally than I used to, and it does help to make a person feel healthier overall.

Lastly....Funny & Cheryl, both well said. Wiseguy's also right....why the heck are some making Bibleteacher's posts about religion!? Is it cause of their username!? I for one, saw NO reference to God or the Bible in the first post on this thread...
