One thing I've noticed from reading labels and watching carbs...even the "enriched" carbs are so devoid of nutrients it's just not funny! My husband was looking at the package of crackers that came with my soup in the restaurant last night (of course we weren't going to eat it) and he was amazed that the two little saltines had as much carbs as the salad I was planning to have to follow...and how little food value it contained.

Of course, we're talking about refined white flour and water with a little salt...but isn't most of our breads, buns, pasta and cereal the same way?

All attempts to find the ONE nutrient we are lacking are doomed to failure when so many people's diets are deficient in so many areas.
