[cancercured] An article that shows the tremendous importance of vegetables

The following article from 2007 says it is better for diabetics to
eat vegetables than fruits or grains. However, what is good for
diabetics,(speaking of HEALTHY things now, NOT "sugar-free cookies,"
etc), is generally good for the non-diabetic population, a well. (When discussing vegetables and fruits, one needs to bear in mind that there can be significant confusion over what is a fruit and what is a vegetable. The best definition I have seen is that a fruit is what the seeds of a plant occur in or on.)

"VEGETABLES offer more protection against diabetes than fruit or
cereal, Australian research shows.

A study of more than 2000 people tracked over 10 years found
vegetable fibre had the strongest links to reduced risk of type two
diabetes.

Adults eating 5g a day of vegetable fibre over the decade had a 24
per cent reduction in the disease, according to research by the
University of Sydney. For people over 70, the benefits were even greater, with a 31 per cent reduction.

The same intake of fruit or cereal fibres only marginally reduced the
risk, showing they were not nearly as beneficial.

The findings, published in the US journal Diabetes Care, proved that
the type and quality of carbohydrate consumed played an important
role in type two diabetes.
