When we hear hoofbeats, we should think of horses--but that doesn't mean it might not be a zebra every once in a while, too. People do have undiagnose thyroid problems, IR, PCOS, or carb sensitivity that throws them out of whack. It's important to remain aware of all the possibilities.
I am also a freak about reading labels now, but I had to learn it the tough way. Stupid Pepperidge Farm and their massive hunks o' bread.
