The GI news [http://ginews.blogspot.com/] arrived yesterday as always on the first of the month.
Diabetes and its treatment through lifestyle and diet, is central to its raison d’etre.
Based in a research unit at the University of Sydney, Australia, it’s an excellent monthly newsletter–easy to sign up for and free.
It includes discussion of current attitudes to health issues related to diet, with the concept of GI–Glycemic Index as a base.
Articles this month include: “Reduced fat intake may reduce diabetes risk without weight loss” and Prof Jennie Brand-Miller, a leading authority on GI, on “insulin sensitivity”.
There ‘s a recipe feature included each month.
Dr Alan Barclay [http://ginews.blogspot.com/2011/07/gi-symbol-news-with-dr-alan-barclay.html], the resident medical expert, expresses his view of the recent study by a research team at Newcastle University in the UK, which was the subject of one of my recent posts [https://robinellisdotnet.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=2365&action=edit].
The study had been headlined in the press as a “Cure for Diabetes” through a restricted diet. Dr. Barclay is sceptical.
I enjoy receiving this newsletter and usually find something helpful in it.
