Guest guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 [hsibaltimore.com] ....and another thing Researchers have revealed even more secrets of the almond. In the e-Alert " Seven Year Itch " I told you about a Perdue University study that showed how regular almond consumption may help curb hunger while also delivering nutrients, such as vitamin E, calcium, magnesium (which helps your body absorb calcium), and flavonoid antioxidants. But almonds might also have a beneficial effect on glycemic and insulin responses, according to a study from the University of Toronto. UT researchers examined the effects of five different meals on 15 healthy subjects. All of the meals had the same amounts of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Results showed that when almonds were eaten with a meal, glycemic and insulin responses were significantly impeded. Researchers also noted that almond intake protected proteins from oxidative damage.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Yeah, almonds are good but now, they all stripped of their nutrients because the gov't has a rule that they should be " nuked/irradiated " before selling. Even Wholefoods does not have them anymore. Melly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
