Then add a glass of "healthy" orange juice and you're a bloog sugar attack waiting to happen. The idea of boxed extruded cereals being a mainstay in our modern diet is just sad (or SAD for Standard American Diet I should say). I have a lot of sympathy for anyone who starts their day off with a huge bowl of this stuff.

No doubt they are promoting the low fat whole grains nonsense, I wouldnt be suprised if even these crappy cereals are included on the "tour." It's really a shame, an outrage really. Maybe I should start doing my own tour, starts at the butcher's counter, next stop is the produce area, find the cooler with the eggs and bacon, then go straight to checkout! <i>And don't forget the BUTTER, too, mrfreddy! :D --Jimmy</i> my local grocery store is promoting a “diabetes tour” of the store….

I ate shredded wheat and raisin bran with skim milk. This stuff doesn't help control my blood sugar either. What a crock. Just more marketing. With the exception of dinner (depending on what's in the chili), that day's menu would send my blood sugar through the roof.

Otherwise, why or how could they promote this as a good food for a diabetic? And don't diabetics know that high carb counts are going to raise their blood sugars?
