6 'Bad' Carbs that Are Actually Good for You By Health.com | Healthy Living – Mon, May 12, 2014 11:21 AM EDT by Leslie Barrie Thanks to popular low-carb diets, these carb-heavy healthy foods have been unfairly blacklisted. But there's no need to be scared of spuds or ban bananas. We're setting the record straight-dig in guilt-free! Corn Corn gets a bad rap because it's frequently found in packaged, processed food that can be void of nutrients. But real, straight-up corn is a healthy whole grain, points out Jessica Levinson, RD, a New York City-based nutritionist. "It's a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which promote healthy vision," she says. Grill corn on the cob, heat up popcorn or top a salad with fresh kernels. Bananas It's bananas to think that nature's perfect portable snack could have ever gotten labeled as bad for you, just because of its carbs and sugar content. "The fruit is a good source of vitamin B6, manganese, potassium, and fiber," says Henderson. And when slightly unripe, bananas are also a good source of slimming resistant starch. Snack on them whole, pop them into smoothies, or even use them as a substitution for fats in baking. Breakfast cereal There's no need to shun a bowlful of flakes. Many cereals are made with whole grains these days, so they can be a healthy way to start your day. Just check the label: Look for a short ingredients list with whole grains at the top and at least 3 grams of fiber and no more than 10 grams of sugar per serving. White potatoes We know we're supposed to limit white bread, white rice and white pasta. Somehow potatoes got swept up in that ban, too. "White potatoes are actually very good for you," says Christian Henderson, RD, a New York City-based nutritionist. "They're a great source of potassium and vitamin C, and they have almost 4 grams of fiber with the skin on-15 percent of your recommended daily allowance." As an alternative to the classic sour cream-slathered baked potato, try cutting potatoes into cubes, tossing them with olive oil and rosemary, and roasting until crisp. Sourdough Bread You don't always have to pick whole wheat. Traditional sourdough is made through a process of fermentation, so it contains beneficial bacteria known as probiotics. "When these good bacteria are present in the bread-making process they help break down some of the gluten, so sourdough may actually be easier on gluten intolerant people than other gluten-containing breads," Henderson says. "They also lower your insulin response and make some nutrients more readily available for digestion." Green peas Sure, they're higher in carbs and sugar than non-starchy vegetables-they're even on some low carb diets' "foods to avoid" lists. "But peas are a great source of phytonutrients with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity," Henderson says. One in the spotlight is coumestrol, which has been shown to potentially protect against stomach cancer, Henderson adds. A cup of cooked green peas also boasts more than 7 grams of filling fiber. Eat them straight up or in soups or salads, or add dried peas to a trail mix. See original article at: https://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/6-bad-carbs-actually-good-152100770.html

I don't expect to be around to suffer any consequences. I have my own Y2K/signed 32 bit issue.

LOL, he made a ton of money on its sale to foreign interests, of course! Not to mention acquiring his personal interests in telecom companies under murky circumstances in the first place (under prior governments; the Thaksins have been politicians for several generations now.) But objectively speaking and comparing scores by NGOs on Thailand's transparency and corruption indices, Thaksin's own government was pretty much business as usual for Thailand. The Thaksins are paid up members of the western educated Thai governing elite. The only real gripe the Yellow Shirts have against them is that they and their faction hit on a novel way to jump from 2nd or 3rd tier pols to the top by breaking ranks and appealing to the rural rice farming majority through rural development programs (& lately that insane rice subsidy). Get real, Paragon. The Yellow Shirt pols are no more honest and no less consummate scumbags than the Thaksins. They just don't see any need to squander public funds on those subhuman, ignorant village dogs when they could be pocketing it for themselves and their business friends.

Since both parties are dependent on Wall Street cash, it's not going to happen here for a long while, sadly. Goldman Sachs is like a department of the federal government.

Buffett recently said he thought financial fraud etc would be much more effectively curtailed by shifting punishment from fining the firms to criminal prosecution of the individuals involved.

Could I skip the pool part of the investment and just put the charitable contributions 100% to those needy lads? I do have a bathtub.

We must all thank Justice Scalia for this fortuitous turn of events. He is the one who laid out the equal rights ramifications of the US vs WIndsor decision. All these other judges did was take his lead and that decision. Flowers and other expressions of thanks may be sent to Justice Antonin Scalia c/o The Supreme Court, Washington, DC. Please don't skimp on your expression of appreciation.

Some people have pools installed just so they can help tuition-strapped college dudes with summer pool-boy jobs. There is potential for those with deep pockets to help up to seven different dudes a week. But then deep pockets are presumed if one installs a pool just for philanthropic measures.

ya. johnny b good tonight!
