Thanks, Elizellen, good to know. I haven't read DANDR as carefully as NANY., so wasn't sure what it said. NANY may have its problems, but its lists of veggies are very very concise and unambiguous.

That's interesting, Kristine, that canned pumpkin is not always canned pumpkin and instead might be squash. I've seen a few mainstream recipe sources lately that say something along the lines of "the best pumpkin for pumpkin pie is NOT pumpkin, it is butternut squash" (or some other very sweet squash). I guess the pumpkin filling processors came to the same conclusion.

I tried a small serving (~60 g) of delicata squash this year out of curiosity and it sent my blood sugar soaring (and I'm not even diabetic or even pre-diabetic, just the high end of normal). I'd been eating comparable amounts of acorn with no problem. It's such an individual thing whether we should eat carb-ier foods or not and which ones cause an actual reaction.
