| Atkins obese? | 27 Jan 2004 16:53 GMT | 62 |
I don't know if he was obese, but he died very rich. The info he provided was available from many sources and his many items are available from common sources at much lower prices. Fads come and go.

| No Sugar Added | 27 Jan 2004 02:30 GMT | 12 |
There is a lot of misinformation about the term "No Sugar Added" floating around here methinks. All it means is that they have no *additional* sugar added to what is already included in the product. Doesn't mean the product has no sugar, or is low sugar. Still gotta check the carbs ...

| reduced carb/low GI bread | 26 Jan 2004 21:43 GMT | 2 |
Baking was my speciality and I've made almost all our bread for years, so I've been working on developing a bread that will fit my diet. I'm interested in a heavy whole grain bread (that can be cut thin); if you want a light bread there is an approach that uses vital wheat gluten ...
