As a diabetic all I know is I must have lots of carbs some protein and fat. 9 to 10 servings of carbs 7 to 9 servings of protien and 3 to 4 servings of fat. and my 4 snacks every day to keep my blood at the proper level.

Strange - I know I first saw the food pyramid in elementary school over 20 years ago. Maybe the article was wrong?
