Can a diabetic eat churros?

Churros aren’t just good because of what they contain, but also because of what they don’t contain: they don’t have any cholesterol, or “bad” fats like trans fats, or sugar. Churros are a practically perfect food. When we go to a café and swap churros for a croissant, thinking it’s better for staying in shape, we are committing a serious mistake. Therefore, they are less healthy than churros. In conclusion, let’s enjoy a portion of churros with no regrets, knowing that they aren’t just fantastic, they are also healthy, within a balanced diet.
