That doesn't make sense. How can beets be good for a diabetic when beets are what they make table sugar from?
ReplyDeleteThat seems to be a common myth among many diabetics, Joel. But, it isn't true. According to Good Health (www.goodhealth.com), beets are an excellent choice for persons with diabetes or pre-diabetes. Not only is this vegetable low in calories, but also a good source of fiber, folate, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Beets are slightly higher than most vegetables in carbohydrates but the glycemic index is neither high nor low.
