You may assume that I write strictly about food and home and garden, but for years I’ve also written about health issues. Here’s my latest for Everyday Health—a look at the various types of dairy and non-dairy milk. Choosing the right milks is especially important for people with diabetes since different types of milk have varying amounts of carbs and sugar, along with other nutritional components. That means that what you pour into your cereal, your coffee, or a cup to drink can impact blood sugar levels. And even if you don’t have diabetes, it’s always good to know what you’re taking in and how it affects your body.
