In 1970, the group Five Man Electrical Band released the hit single,
"Signs," and in it there is a line, "Do This, Don't Do That, Can't You Read
The Sign?" It seems that when it comes to food choices for diabetes patients
the line should be, "Eat This, Don't Eat That, Can't you Read the Sign?" as
every day someone else has a new miracle food to cure or prevent diabetes.
Most of these health claims are suspect at best and often they are just a
way for someone to make a lot of money. In this month's special edition we
have looked over scores of articles, reports and health claims, to find the
right things to eat and the right way to eat them. We have everything from
almonds to zucchini -- and everything in between -- for you to share with
your patients and unlike everyone else we let you know where the research
came from and what the real effects might be.
