We neglected to remind readers last week that Leslie Kenton, the guru of well-being, is also famous for being the daughter of Stan Kenton, the famous American big band leader (well, famous to some).
Kenton’s “insulin balance programme” recommends, among other things, a reduced intake of dried nuts because they are high glycaemic - that is, starchy and high in carbohydrates.
How inappropriate that her father’s biggest hit in the 1950s was “The Peanut Vendor”.
