Nutrition Round-Up

1) Glycemic Index Education Leads To Better Diabetes Control (source: Medical News Today)

I always appreciate suggested material from my readers like this.

Nine weeks of education about the glycemic index in foods is enough to encourage adults with type 2 diabetes to adopt better dietary habits that result in improvements to their health, recent research suggests.

2) A question on ensuring good nutrition on a restricted diet (source: Nutrition Data)

Q. I have a 2-year old son who is allergic to dairy, egg, and soy. He drinks rice milk in addition to water and sometimes juice. We are lucky because he loves to eat meat (primarily meatloaf), and fruits and vegetables. I have become good at sneaking veggies into his meatloaf, spaghetti, etc. As he grows, however, I am wondering about providing him a balanced diet. Is there anything that I am missing, or anything, nutritionally, that I should be giving him? Thanks.
