Good morning Lulu and Al,
That wasn't Fr. Jim who posted this.... there are a few of us that monitor the board, usually Fr. Jim will sign his posts.
Your right though, too much white rice can be part of the reason a lot of Jamaicans are diabetic. BUT.... you can easily substitute white rice for bread/whole grain rice and if you eat it only 1-2 times a week there is no way that could cause it
Eating a lot of fried foods can also be attributed to being diabetic as well.... not to mention sugar, sugar, sugar.... ha ha!
Have a lovely day!
