Re: Disappointing Diabetes Class

Sorry that went so badly. It kind of reminded me of taking ethics courses from professors with law degrees versus professors with philosophy degrees, not that either was bad, they just tend to have a different focus. I know that Kimberly has had different experiences with different dietitians and doctors. I think that knowing what your doctor expects as good, better and best for limits is helpful, and then using constant testing to make sure you are within his parameters.

Organic dairy products can be pasteurized, so I don't think there is really a connection between something being organic and not being pasteurized. For example, even raw milk may or may not be organic. What organic does mean is that the cows were fed organic feed (no pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilizers) and were not given antibiotics or growth hormones. Those would be the benefits you would be looking at in purchasing organic cottage cheese. Unpasteurized (raw) milk and milk products (excluding cheeses aged 60 days or more) are not considered safe by the CDC: http://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/rawmilk/raw-milk-questions-and-answers.html#legal.
