The usual issues of diet control of Carbohydrate's was discussed especially
how food is differently prepared in restaurants.

Portion control is not a restaurants responsibility with your serving
portion plan.

Fried foods are always tasty because of Corn Syrup is put into the hot
cooking oil.

It's the sugar content that makes the food taste delicious.

It was also mentioned that Tobacco Leaves is dipped in sugar during the
processing of the leaves.  This is why most folks have difficulty to stop
smoking.  The sugar is very addictive.

body function however, Our speaker cautioned us about paying attention to
health advertisement.  This is a selling tacktic and no to body functions
are  alike.   It is always best to consult with your Dr. to test your levels
before purchasing any product that sells over the counter.
