Old Habits

are hard to break.  I had wheat on Tuesday night in the form of pasta in spaghetti and yesterday I had a grilled cheese sandwich on whole grain bread.  Oh, boy, my stomach suffered yesterday afternoon and last night.  Today, I have a headache.  I think there might be something to this wheat sensitivity thing; so today I stayed "clean." 
I mentioned coconut sugar in my last blog and I googled it and found an article about it on Wikipedia.  If you are interested you might check it out.  The glycemic index of coconut sugar is 35 and is classified as a low glycemic index food.  It is considered healthier than traditional white sugar and brown sugar.  It can be used as a 1:1 sugar substitute for coffee, tea, baking and cooking.  It has a high mineral content and is a rich source of potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron.  It also contains B vitamins: B1,B2,B3 and B6. Compared to brown sugar it  has twice the iron, four times the magnesium and over 10 times the amount of zinc.  It was a very intesting article.  I bought mine at Vitamin world. 

It's even organic!
