Laura Dolson's Low Carb Pyramid

We have Switched our Family to a Low Carb Gluten Free Diet

I decided to launch my own investigation. Regular readers know how much I despise corn, especially since the kind Americans eat these days is mass produced from genetically modified corn crops.  Didn’t have to dig too deep to learn who was behind the AJCN report.  And it didn’t surprise me in the least bit.  …continue reading »
