Unfortunately there is a lot of diabetes in Sweden. If I'm not mistaken the numbers are higher in S. than in the rest of Europe. If this is a "genetic defect" or just related to the food intake, I do not know.

Thanks for those nice words. I think that we here know more about you americans than you do about us! But after all we are 8 million people who live in a very small country in the northern outer edge of the world!
