Walnut Oil.

All Type 2 Diabetics (which includes Cro) will have learned by now about the 600 calories per day diet, and the curative properties of nuts. If by chance you haven't; Google will provide.

It seems that two months of near starvation (which I consider 600 calories to be), combined with 2 oz mixed nuts per day, and the diabetes literally disappears (or so they assure me).

I've not yet followed the diet, but in exchange for a lifetime of tablets, or even jabs, a two month diet seems very little.

One part of the diet I AM following (and pretty much always have done) is to eat about 8 to 10 walnuts a day, and drink a teaspoon of delicious walnut oil each morning. Above is all that's now left of my 2010 walnut crop, so when all are finished I shall simply have to double my morning intake of oil.

As you can also see above, I usually buy two types of walnut oil. One is an expensive artisanally produced oil (the one I drink), and the other a more standard commercial product, which is perfectly good in its way for salads etc. My favourite use for the oil, however, is drizzled liberally onto tepid, salted, new potatoes. Heaven.
