Remember Sesame Snaps? They’re still in grocery stores, usually by the checkout, priced around the 50-cent mark or offered at three for a dollar. When I was diagnosed with osteoporosis, I often snacked on them because I’d heard that sesame seeds were very high in calcium. Which is true. But the ample amount of sugar [...]
