But you
do have to be careful selling them as they can "disrupt" insulin for
diabetics--don't have all the research.


This plant is very GOOD for diabetics. For type 2 especially as the glycimic
index is very low on the artichoke but still has a pleasant sweet nutty
flavor similar to a water chestnut used in Chinese cooking. A diabetic could
eat a quart of this and not have a spike in the blood sugar. Like blue
berries you can eat a quart of them and feel like a pig but there are not
that many calories from the carbohydrate that are readily available hence,
you get all of the anti-oxidant properties with no down side. You can also
use the site below to print out foods content on labels to show % of daily
requirement.
