Dear Valk Rider,

re: “I love chocolate so I started using the below link. Mix in some Silk Almond or Silk Coconut milk. I blend with some chia, flax and hemp seeds. Sometimes I add unsweetened coconut, or black grapes or Walnuts, or Pecans in for a change of taste. I have to add some sweetener like Stevia and sometimes coconut sugar as raw cacao is bitter as heck.”

I’m sorry, but if it ain’t from a dairy cow, a bison, or a goat, it ain’t “milk”, it is a juice. Hempseeds?? That is the seed of the marijuana plant, if you did not know.

That concoction might be fine for you, but I will pass.

While the “hemp” plant is in the same family as the pot plants, they are not the same thing. Hemp seeds come from the variety of the plant still grown for rope making.

I can understand why hempseeds and hemp oil would concern you if you are in a business where drug tests are the norm (I am in one), but you are not going to get any effect of THC from hemp seeds.

I have been diagnosed as a diabetic (type II) for ten years. Best strips for the money are Prodigy strips along with a Prodigy meter ... low cost overall and on Amazon.com you can get 300 strips for $32.00. BTW currently taking Metformin 1000mg 2xdaily along with 2 others currently. As I approach 70 in another 29 days expect to be moving to insulin shots within the next year. Also for information you cannot beat “Blood Sugar 101” at http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/.
