Great points Debbie. Also - it just occurred to me that the only fuel the brain can use is glucose, period. So the body does need to maintain some minimum level because if the brain can't function neither can the body. However, maintaining a diet that has a low glycemic index overall (ie: eat fruit with the main meal that is high in fiber and other lower glycemic foods) is the best way to go overall for good health.
