Re: Are raisins OK?
Hi Alanna,
Upon looking in Michio Kushi's newest book, "The Macrobiotic Path to Total Health", he specifically warns against the use of raisins frequently, saying they have a very high concentration of simple sugars. This is for people who must limit simple sugars, and the use of fruit for their specific condition.
Raisins have a high concentration of simple sugars. If this is not helpful for your condition, I would avoid them.
