Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 I cant find anything that shows fats and sugars are bad together. In fact everything I find says the combination is good. The fat slows down the digestion of the sugar and lowers its glycemic index. The glycemic index is a measurement of how FAST a food raises your blood sugar. Not of how much it raises it over all. Avocados are less than 2% protein. I still cannot find the glycemic index of avocados but, diebetecs can eat them so they must be ok. Here is a link to the story <a href=http://www.avocado.org/health/2000_12.php?sd=health target=new>http://www.avocado.org/health/2000_12.php?sd=health</a><br><br>I know you all are having a hard time with the price of avocados. So how about growing your own. Here is a link to an avocado tree that, they say will bear fruit as a house plant.<br><br><a href=http://www.avocadotrees.com/ target=new>http://www.avocadotrees.com/</a><br><br>How about that???

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 Yes I don't think you'll find anything about combining sugars and fats in most of the medical literature. You'll only find it as far as I know with what Dr. Graham teaches. <br><br>What he has found is that by combining fats and sugars the blood sugar levels stay elevated for extended periods of time. Why because you now can't digest the sugars quickly. The fat slows the digestion of the sugar. The sugar can't be digested until the fat is digested. This leaves you with a high blood sugar for 6 hours or more. <br><br>I used to be hypoglycemic and I've had no problem at all once I stopped combining fats and sugars. All I have to do is consume enough sugars from fruit so that I get enough calories. Then I feel satisfied. <br><br>If you look in nature most foods are either high in sugar or fat. They usually aren't high in both. So it seems like natures plan that foods at least don't combine the fats and sugars. It's funny how we have so much data and much of it could be wrong. <br><br>Many of Dr. Graham's theories fly in the face of conventional wisdom and yet he has helped people break world records with his nutrition program. Since applying many of his ideas I have certainly experienced peak performance in many areas including athletics. Go to <a href=http://www.doctorgraham.cc target=new>http://www.doctorgraham.cc</a> for more info on his theories.<br><br>Thanks for the link on the indoor avocado plants. I'll check it out.<br><br>Roger Haeske<br><a href=http://www.superbeing.com target=new>http://www.superbeing.com</a> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
