Anthill, I agree. We should be looking at all foods and judging at any given time, what amount of carbs are needed...or not needed for our bodies. Carbs have to be planned...but not limited to any one type of food. Sugar is measured by carbs just as a serving of carrots or beans...it is outdated advice (and dangerous) to suggest that not eating sugar is "helping" diabetic diets.

Anthill...if you don't mind me asking...what is a banana candy?
