How Not To Give Nutrition Advice

If you attempt to follow along in this book for what to eat and not eat to treat your diabetes, which is the best method of treating it, this book will be a perfect example of terrible circular reference, not giving you facts, writing. You will hear one thing is bad in the first sentence, followed by example meals or snacks containing those things, repeatedly. A better educated, and science driven source of actionable advice on diabetes and all chronic conditions is NutritionFacts.org.
