I don;t want to keep posting article's on stuff we already know, but this research is actually looking inside the arteries after eating a High carb diet
It seems too much carbo's are even bad for those with normal blood glucose
Your arteries on Wonder Bread
Landmark study from Tel Aviv University shows how high carb foods cause heart attacks

Doctors have known for decades that foods like white bread and corn flakes aren't good for cardiac health. In a landmark study, new research from Tel Aviv University now shows exactly how these high carb foods increase the risk for heart problems.
"Looking inside" the arteries of students eating a variety of foods, Dr. Michael Shechter of Tel Aviv University's Sackler School of Medicine and the Heart Institute of Sheba Medical Center ââ with collaboration of the Endocrinology Institute ââ visualized exactly what happens inside the body when the wrong foods for a healthy heart are eaten. He found that foods with a high glycemic index distended brachial arteries for several hours.
Elasticity of arteries anywhere in the body can be a measure of heart health. But when aggravated over time, a sudden expansion of the artery wall can cause a number of negative health effects, including reduced elasticity, which can cause heart disease or sudden death.
Using a clinical and research technique pioneered by his laboratory in Israel, Dr. Shechter was able to visualize what happens inside our arteries before, during and after eating high carb foods. It is a first in medical history. The results were published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

There are many that can't get out so shopping on TV becomes a real gift to them like for the holidays and their own personal use. Even myself the year before I used it to buy and send my Christmas gifts it was wonderful not fighting the crowds. If you watch it and look for bargains you will get what you want with free shipping. I do that with items I want like cook wear, and special pots I like. And I love when I get something to open!!! If I don't like it, I return it but I think I have returned only shoes.
I am on a fixed income too. Because I buy on TV doesn't mean I am not careful with my money. I am very careful with what I have but I am entitled to things I like or want that I can afford of course! The rest I wil want but never get Lol
It isn't all bad and certainly if you don't have self control you will get into trouble on Tv at the store or Vegas Lol.

Some people have no minds. Reminds me of the joke a blonde joke:
I don't understand why I am out of money.....I still have checks left!!
Ok...... So I got a slap chop.
This dirty son of a bitch Vince convinced me that this invention would save time, and help me eat healthy.
Fuck Vince and his goddamn nuts.
Fettuccine, linguine, martini, bikini...
Let me tell you what this holy terror of a kitchen utensil does.....absolutely nothing.
Let's look at a few things:
1. This thing is made of plastic and has a sharp blade hooked to a sprung and a plunger.
This is a poor combination to begin with..
2. The slap chop is about the size of a coffee grinder, which means to you need to slap chop size your food prior to actually using the slap chop. In order to do that you need a knife, if I have a knife in my hand already I may as well chop the fuckin vegetable right then and there.
3. One slap for large sizes, 2 to slaps for smaller sizes, three slaps for a fine dice....fuck you.
Here's what it actually goes like. One slap, twist and pry on plunger because vegetable is wedged in the cutting mechanism. Two slaps, still fucking wedged and no smaller than the last slap.... Why? Because the fucking blade didn't actually cut anything..it just did a quarter turn with potato stuffed inside. Three slaps, another quarter turn and now your potato is wedged so far into the fucking machine the plunger won't come out.
Now since the veg is stuffed deep inside this devil contraption you must now take the damn thing apart, easier said than done. Vince says "its easy as one two three" FUCK YOU VINCE!
Its easy to take apart sans potato stuffing however once those blades are full it becomes more difficult.
Picture this, a slapchop full of potato, the plunger is stuffed all the way to the bottom so you can't undo the top part, and it won't turn enough to pry the bottom protector part off.
Now keep in mind that this contraption has a sharp fucking blade in it...so using your fingers to pry out the potato chunks is ill advised.
What do you do? Get a tool if course....now because you already had to cut your vegetable to slapchop size you happen to have a knife close by.
It only makes sense to use that to dig out the jammed veg.
Ahem...at this point the slapchop is no longer a slapchop, it suddenly becomes a spring loaded vegetable cannon!
As soon as you wiggle a tiny piece of the vegetable in question out of harms way you can fully expect to get showered in large chunks of potato (or onion, or peppers)...remember these are large chunks that fly fast and hard.....because this stupid fucking device hasn't actually CUT ANYTHING!
I am going to personally kill the man that invented this goddamn thing...in fact I'm going to use it on his nuts....because Vince says it works great on nuts...in fact so well that we are going to love his nuts.
I bet this stupid sonofabitch has a SNUGGIE as well......
DO NOT BUY A SLAP CHOP.
I never ordered anything online except the miracle muffins. I was looking for a new stick vac for my floors and found one online I liked by Bissell. It was $70. I found the same one in BJs for $30. That's how I shop.
