Uneducated response to this article: YAY! I can eat as much cake, Wonder bread and mashed potatoes as I want and not get fat!

The smart response: It won’t hurt me to add a few more whole grains to my diet and exercise routine.

That looks like something that you would find while doing an autopsy on a cow.

Common sense would tell us that its not what we eat that helps us lose weight, its what we don't eat.

Also, if you cool off spaghetti in cold water, it makes the glucose chains harder to digest. Just something I remember from a nutrition class in graduate school.

That looks tasty. What kind of sauce, and are those fresh shreds of parmesan cheese on top?

I went to Amazon and looked at the reviews....it looks good. I think I may part with some coin, thanks for the suggestion.

Yikes! Like so many medications, the ‘cure’ appears to be worse than the ‘disease’.

Doesn’t look like it has a good,satisfying helping of complete protein,like say,eggs,beef,pork,fish,poultry.
Just not enough,I’d be hungry again in no time.
