Eating starches makes my blood sugar spike. How is that good?

Millions of people suffer from diabetes. Many, particularly those with Type 2 diabetes, needlessly suffer. With some simple dietary changes towards a starch-based diet, diabetic patients can be on their way to not being a “patient” at all.

NanaJo’s Oil-Free Italian Dressing – Your Mom’s Vegan

Zesty and bursting with flavor, NanaJo’s Oil-Free Italian Dressing is perfect for many types of salads and especially good on a pasta salad. 

Author Trish Hall

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tsp cornstarch
  • 1-2 tsp seasoning salt or salt-less seasoning blend
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning or Menudo Mix seasoning
  • 1/2-1 tbsp sweetener of choice (date sugar works well) Adjust to your taste. Different sweeteners will require different amounts. I like tangy, so I don’t use much.
  • 1 tsp onion powder (not necessary if using Menudo Mix)
  • 1-2 tsp minced garlic (I like lots of garlic, so I use 2)
  • 2/3 cup lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Start by making the thick water. Add the water and cornstarch to a saucepan and heat over medium heat. As it simmers, whisk it constantly. Continue to whisk until it starts to thicken. I like to get it a little thicker than oil consistency because the lemon juice will thin it out a bit.
  2. Remove it from the heat and add the dry seasoning and sweetener of choice. Whisk well. Allow this mixture to cool a bit.
  3. When it is cool (doesn’t need to be really cool, just not hot) add the garlic and lemon juice.Whisk it well.
  4. Pour into a bottle with a lid and shake well.
  5. Store in the refrigerator and shake well before use.

The dangers of lithium-ion batteries on full display

Lithium-ion Battery Fire Safety


Lithium-ion batteries are used in various devices, commonly powering cell phones, laptops, tablets, power tools, electric cars, and e-micromobility devices such as e-bikes and e-scooters . Lithium-ion batteries store a large amount of energy and can pose a threat if not treated properly.

Given the nascent industry and lack of federal standards for e-micromobility products, a number of the batteries in these devices are or become defective and can overheat, catch fire, or explode. In 2023 alone, there were 268 fires caused by lithium-ion batteries, many of which were used to power e-bikes.

General Safety Tips:
* When purchasing devices, look for the Underwriter Laboratories (UL) Mark. The UL mark shows that the product has been tested to nationally recognized safety standards.
* Follow the device manufacturer’s instructions for charging and storage. Always use the manufacturer’s cord and power adapter made specifically for the device.
* When purchasing a new battery, buy the manufacturer’s battery that is compatible with your device. Do not seek alternative battery options.
