If people truly understood what the makers of our food have done, I'm wondering if they would care, as long as they get their sugar. They have taken all the minerals out of white sugar, minerals like Chromium. Chromium helps the cells utilize insulin to burn sugar. As a person heads down the road to diabetes, they become more and more insulin resistant. So, what do they do? Take the chromium out of sugar! And bleached white flour? Pfftttt!

The good news is that General Mills is lamenting the popularity of the Atkins Diet because their sales have slumped. If these people would be a bit more concerned with providing NUTRITIOUS food rather than their pockets, maybe their profits wouldn't go down the tubes when the public finally gets a 'clue.'
