Barley to fight Diabetes

Please refer to my earlier post: http://saveforus-healthforus.blogspot.in/2009/09/food-choices-to-control-diabetes.html

Often people have asked me what do I use for grain, in place of rice. I use Barley.
Why:
1. Because its glycemic index (how soon sugar goes to blood and how soon it goes out of blood making you hungry) is low. 20 - 30 just half of white rice.
2. Because its glycemic load (how much total sugar) for a serving of 150 gm is 11 just 1/3rd of rice for same 150 gm.
3. Because it is conveniently cooked exactly like rice. We use rice cooker, but with little more water.
After Barley is cooked, leaving the boiling water (rather than draining it), results in Barley soaking the water and getting plump and easier to chew and eat.

The awareness is building up and it is available in Amazon: http://amzn.in/csMTBxw
You have already experimented with Medicines. How about experimenting with food too.

You cannot flush me down the toilet.

Most of things that we use, which are beyond what my Grandma could recognize, involve some or other chemical. For example the shaving lotion, the soap, the AA or AAA batteries, the detergent liquid and powder, the perfumes, nail polish and its remover, lipstick....

When I think how those chemicals end I find all of those are going down the toilet. But are they?

They go to the water stream and then water cycle continues and most of it comes back to my dining table through fish food or apples. So though we forget about these, thinking that nature will recycle it, in reality, nature is not able to recycle/clean at the rate in which we make it dirty (pollute it). So next time we think of going beyond minimal need and buy such a thing, we will need to think how we can finally get rid of it from our system.

We the human beings have concentrated these chemicals through transformations on naturally occurring substances. But we have not thought of ways to reverse it. But given that the whole world, us and all other living beings, (plants and animals) are now distressed, we will have to address this. Just using these and flushing these out is just irresponsible.
