[Diabetes-Talk] Food exchange site?

[Jude DaShiell]

Calories have been found to be a red herring although a
factor leveled with other nutritional factors.  To explain
this, empty calories are empty calories.  If those calories
fail to bring other nutritional benefits those consuming them
really do get cheated.

This is reflected in the U.S.D.A. 2019 revised food
Guideance.
