The USDA Nutrition Tables show proximately the same numbers, give or take a few calories here and there. Lots of calories in fresh juice. Good thing, too as the body needs calories (read: fuel) to keep itself running right. And they certainly are healthier calories than from Doritos, beer, or a Big Mac, and taste almost as good!

The carbohydrate content of all those drinks is quite high and would not do a diabetic much good at all.

You are absolutely correct. I would think anyone with ANY special dietary requirements would need to follow their own medically prescribed regimen rather than one suggested by On-line health gurus.

Not that easy to get a Medical prescribed regimen here in Chiang Mai. The doctors all know a certain ammount about what you should and should not eat theat refers to every one. But to get a nutrisionest here in Chiang Mai not going to happen. There are none. I was willing to see one if all they could do was speak Thai. I would take the wife along. As is I just listen to the common sense my doctor tells me and I am sure any other doctor would tell me.

Available at any good pharmacy (together with bloodsugar101.com - buy the book!).
