regards to the way they affect glucose levels, visit

Interesting! George Malkmus carried out a study with six subjects,

all of which consumed large amounts of freshly squeezed carrot

juices.

 

I personally believe many of our problems with high glycemic fruits

and vegetables are from all the pesticides and residues that are

present in all but the organicially grown varieties.

 

As you can see from this study, individual glucose levels are

dependent on various food combinations. I have

read this several books and now the results from George's testing

confirms this also.I too eat a rather large serving of berries each

morning, however I try to make certain it is accompanied by some

good protein as well. This tends to provide more of a balance and

tends to keep glucose levels in check.

 

Really in my opinion, they have an impact on our sugar levels only

when consumed in individual portions. Also, as you can see by his

test, it really depends on how many EFA's are present in your body

at that particular time as well.

Dr. Malkmus clearly believes in the wonderful healing power of

fresh fruits and vegetables.

 

It is best to get carrots in combination with nuts, beans, eggs or

some other high quality protein.

 

Best Regards,

JoAnn do you have this information available at another website? The file won't

open in notepad and when opened in Word it's all gobblydegook! I am really

interested in reading about this, as I am diabtetic and struggle with carrot

juice and keeping blood sugar down, when drinking it, and I would like to

include more carrotjuice in my diet.

 

Thanks

---Amanda, You really need the Acrobat Reader to get this file. It

is in pdf format. Unfortunately no, I don't have a copy or even a

summary of it.

This doctor basically says that anyone with diabetes should start

with just 4 oz. of carrot juice diluted with 4 ozs of distilled or

spring water. To ensure that glucose levels do not soar, it should

also be taken with Udo's oil and/or 200 mg of chromium picolinate. A

good brand of GTF chromium would be better in my opinion and though

they recommend Solaray, to me that is not the best of brands either.

My husband used a diabetic supplement by Solaray with little or not

benefit.(He is diabetic also)

We use bitter melon ( by Nature's Herbs " Power Herbs " , gymnemre

sylvestre and fenugreek seed caps also by Natures Herbs for Tom with

good results. Another good rule of thumb is to take high glycemic

juice in combination with a high-quality protein in order to provide

more of a balance. A good protein source may include nuts

(i.e.,walnuts,brazils,almonds,cashews, macademia nuts) organic eggs

or high-fiber beans, legumes or lentils. Most experts agree on this

point as well. Carrot juice would be better for you if it were

juiced in a combination with some other low-glycemic veggies, say

celery, fennel, spinach or beet, for example.

On the Adobe website, Acrobat is available for download, free of

charge.

Best of Luck,

JoAnn
