Life gets to be more life stuff, not westernized leisure time type life.
We grind our own wheat and make our own bread.
Also, we seldom eat crackers or cookies - we make cookies and pies using the home grind wheat.
A bit more work, but certainly something that is able to be done against the alloxan menace.
Years ago we read the natural news about margarine - butter is much better tasting and is quite healthy for a body that has a brain. |

| | Alloxan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There IS controversy as to whether Alloxan produces diabetes in humans.
In the past, though, I used it to induce Diabetes in guinea pigs ...
Interesting stuff.
NB wiki does not mention things such as where it is present in the food chain, nor dosage to effect beta cell death ...

Dam you sky . Maybe we should create another law against it . |

For instance, we are one of the only industrialized countries left that has not made hormone fed cattle illegal. Lobbyists from big beef, big potato (yes, this is a lobby), and the restaurants do as much as they can to keep the FDA's budget low.
