re: STOP peeling your vegies! |

Hi Kathy,
Cooking vegetables in general will remove nutrients. Here is an interesting article about hygiene but it has a blurb about cooking food http://www.mercola.com/2003/sep/27/hygiene_mistakes.htm .
I've been doing some research on diabetes and the use of stevia. My husband's family has a history of diabetes so I'm doing my share to educate myself and prevent. Have you heard of stevia? There is quite a bit of information on the internet about it. I made some healthy cookies using stevia and Maple syrop. My son loved them. I thought you might find it interesting. Stevia is only classified as a dietary supplement at this point in the States.
Yours in health,
Monique Bileski
