Thank you for the warning.  Though I seldom eat fruit, especially dried
fruit, I recently bought some (what I believed were) currants so that I
would have an easy way of adding some carbs to a hunk o' meat; I was
surprised by my reaction to them.  I specifically wanted currants rather
than raisins, partly because of the glycemic index difference.  Is it
impossible to buy real currants?
