Soy Yogurt May Help with Diabetes
A study reported in the December
issue of the Journal of Food Biochemistry showed that eating soy yogurt may help control Type 2 Diabetes and high blood pressure. The most effective type was plain soy yogurt. You can certainly add your own fruit to it, and it will be lower in sugar than the fruit-added yogurts.
In my opinion, the beneficial effect may have something to do with eating fermented food containing naturally occuring priobiotics. (I'll tell you more in upcoming issues.)
Soy yogurt is becoming more widely available. If you have a favorite brand, let me know.

Easy Asparagus in time for Spring
Holidays Fresh
asparagus has been here in California now for a few weeks. And likely come
from here to where you live.
The easiest, and perhaps the tastiest way,
to prepare asparagus is by roasting it or quickly steaming it.
Here's my recipe for roasted asparagus. Serve with the Lemony Garlic Aioli recipe below.
1 pound asparagus, tough ends cut or snapped off
2 teaspoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Coat the asparagus with the oil and put on a baking sheet.
Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking occasionally. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve hot.
