Walnuts Do The Diabetic Body Good

1. Until you have to wear dentures.

I like pistachios, cashews, pecans, almonds and walnuts. However, trying to eat them while wearing dentures can be a nightmare. Unfortunately, the way that lower dentures fit over the mandible allows pieces to get trapped between the gumline and denture which can cause some pain during chewing.

I also had to slow down on some other fruits and vegetables like apples and corn-on-the-cob.

4. i cut off the corn the cob for other reasons. but, i find freezing almonds + it may work

for other nuts at least a month makes them much easier to eat. roasted salted almonds. not sure about raw. but i know about other issues. getting old sucks.

2. For diabetics it is all about calories and timing.

One times ones meals to ones insulin injections, and one carefully accounts for ones calory intake. The object is to control ones blood sugar level.

I suspect that there is no such thing as a magic diabetic food. And walnuts are not magical in any such sense. They are yummy and a source of protein, but so are legumes, and lean meat, and sushi, and many other things -- all which to a diabetic should be the same thing.

I suspect that this is buckum. Or some vegetarian promotion. Or just maybe by BigWalnut!!!! (I jest.)

Oh dear! I just watched this wretched video. It is about preventing type II diabeties, not using if one is diabetic. My bad.

However, I all the more suspect that this is utter bunkum. Since serum LDL and HDL levels' relationship to diet is complex and multifactorial. Now I know that this was a promotion by BigWalnut. Nobody else would do such a study. And how in the fuck does one blind eating walnuts? If it is not double blinded, the study is worthless.
