I heard a rumor the other day that Dark Chocolate can be beneficial to one's
health. Is this too good to be true?

I've just received an email from someone who loved the "DIABETES: An
Integrated Approach" DVD, so I thought I'd let you guys know about it.
They had bought it on ebay. Seems no-one is going direct to the
website, which is a shame. I've posted their email to me at the bottom

had Lipid panels and Fast BG tests.etc.

of Beurre Blanc as one of the sauces.
It's a basic wine-butter sauce that lends itself to numerous variations.

Hey all....My name is Nikki and I'm new to the group as well as new to
being diabetic. I am 27 and was just diagnosed Type 2 last week. I am

aisle was full of it, but no longer.
