    Amy Is this something where if we contacted our congressman/woman we might make a difference? I know they get constantly flooded with requests, but if there's a 'label' that would identify the issue, then we could maybe get a set of advocates writing to congress and that might make a difference. Maybe some simple name, the Freedom From Uncertainty For Diabetics? (I'm not a great wordsmith, but you get the idea.) David's reply: The article in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition doesn't say how much ground cloves you would have to take to see any benefit. And I am pretty sure that no one in the world knows the answer to that question, Bernard! However, ground cloves are much higher in antioxidant content that anything else tested. They have 126 mmol per 100 grams. Next, is dried oregano leaf with 40 mmol. I certainly agree with your recommendation of Penzeys! I usually buy my spices and herbs there, especially now that they have opened a store in Colorado.
