You will notice that the calories and the glycemic index aren\u2019t the only deciding factors in these ranking.\u00a0 This is my judgement based on health benefits or dangers, price, accessibility, taste, and ease of use.\u00a0 Your list may be different — and that\u2019s fine!\u00a0 As I have often said, God didn\u2019t make us with a cookie-cutter.\u00a0 Find what works for YOU!<\/p>\n

Eating to live and living for Christ,<\/p>\n
