diabetes and sugar free

[Guest guest]

Something to think about:

 

Your brain does not know the difference between the real thing and " sugar free " .

Whether you eat real or fake, your taste buds taste sweet and tell your brain to

tell your pancreases to secrete insulin when. That is why it is better to eat

the real thing in complete moderation and stay away from the fake. I could not

stand it when I worked medical at the hospital and the diabetes teacher would

tell patients to eat sugar free. Must I say AMERICANS are at a disadvantage

because WE know NOTHING about nutrition and our GOVERNMENT does not support it.

It is SAD!!! (please note: if you are a brittle diabetic, do not go and eat

sweets because of what I said. Most are insulin resistant and your sugar will

skyrocket!!!) It makes my skin crawl when someone is on a diet and gorges out

on diet foods for this reason!!! when your body dumps out the insulin, your

sugar drops, causing you to EAT FOOD!!!! Therefore you go into the YO-YO

effect. It is terrible!! When your sugar drops, you get sleepy, irritable,

hungry, jittery, cold and clammy. (Donna, bet those diet drink consumers at

your work are very productive and the best to be around.........NOT!!! LOL!!!)

 

Also, Splenda is 3 molecules of chlorine (so we are bleaching ourselves peachy

clean, lol!!) and one part hydrogen. Nothing healthy about it at all.

hope this helps,

from the aspartame link I found this: http://www.issplendasafe.com/.

Apparently, it isn't. Me, I use the real thing or nothing at all. Moderation

is key in my life. Not quite sure what I'd so if I had to go sugarless. While

I'm babbling...my FIL frustrates me to no end. Over Easter break, he'd munch

away on several pieces of bread the restaurants provided, ate pasta, etc. etc.

then wouldn't eat dessert if it wasn't sugar free because he's trying to avoid

diabetes. Thanks for letting me vent for a moment. Beth
