Type One Talks. How different foods affect blood sugar. In one video, he talks about twenty different vegetables. Broccoli, for instance. He gives the carbs of broccoli, the fiber, the net carbs (and he explains why you subtract fiber from carbs to get net fiber), and the glycemic index...

I'm an agnostic strong atheist. I believe that no gods exist. But I don't know that for sure. My mother said she struggled with her faith every day. She was an agnostic Christian.
