Thanks for finding me here...I started the Low Carb Optometrist blog a few months ago and as things seem to change as you learn more, I thought I might like to have the Real Food Optometrist/NutritionalOptometry as a blog as well. I am still pretty low carb, but feel the message of "eat real food" more typifies what I feel nutrition and health should be about.

Here's a video in National Geographic - what the eyes can tell you about health...

And here are some glycemic index values ( take a look at whole wheat bread...and snickers):

Anyway, my original blog can be found here:
