Just like Jamie and Adam did with urban legends and ancient stories on the Discovery channel, we are BUSTING myths commonly associated with diabetes and food.
The winning phrase of this episode is: "DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE" and just like we said on episodes 13 and 15, always read the ingredients' list of the food and beverages you consume.
