Question
what kind of bread can i eat on a cardiac diabetic diet. For instance is subway chicken or turkey sandwiches a good choice?
Dear Patrick,
On both diets, 100% whole grain bread is the best. Also, subway salad might be a better alternative if you are not sure about their bread content -- is it indeed 100% whole or just _some_ whole grain is added to white flour.

Expertise
I am in neurophysiology since 1972, my research started with studies of neuronal interactions in the hypothalamic centers of hunger and satiety. I worked for 20 years in interdisciplinary teams, with physicists and mathematicians, as an expert in neuroscience preparing conceptual models of brain regulatory systems for their further implications in larger-scale mathematical and computer modeling. Since 2007, I focus on the metabolic aspects of neuroprotection.
