Yup, a couple hours ago when I glanced at her diary I sat intakes off 13, 21, 24 and so on. No very high fat if you ask me.mamapeach910 wrote: »Chrysalid2014 wrote: »Need2Exerc1se wrote: »Why is every sugar thread hijacked with old arguments?

Yes, that's true. For the record, I agree to disagree with Mr M and Mrs Peach about the relative nutritional merits of candy bars. Now let's leave that one there.
Back to the OP's question, I too am a sugar addict and am transitioning to a low-carb, high fat diet, as many other addicts testify this is the cure.
Hi fat? Your diary says otherwise.
You also eat an awful lot of fruit for a sugar addict.
FTR, I didn't agree to disagree with you. You never answered any direct questions and it's obvious that you don't have answers for them.
I'm in transition... just worked out the right macros yesterday. And working my way through all the remaining low-fat stuff in the house, as I can't bring myself to throw food away.
And my fruit intake now is drastically reduced. I used to be a six-apples-a-day person. Addicted. Yes.
so you are eating no bread, no vegetables, no fruit, etc, because addicted to sugar, right?0 -

No, what's MOST amusing is you acting arrogant after you including a sentence you made up to back up your own feelings and including it as coming from the diabetes web site.

Okay, how about answering for the selective cutting and pasting you did in this one? You know, where you butchered the content of the article to make it fit what you wanted it to say?
I didn't 'butcher' anything; I posted the relevant section of the article (without amendment). Mr M's claim was that, and I quote: "sugar isn't even associated with the development of DM, even from the major diabetes organizations". The section I posted pointed out that it is associated.
Here's what you posted:Just for the record...
"Research has shown that drinking sugary drinks is linked to type 2 diabetes.
The American Diabetes Association recommends that people should avoid intake of sugar-sweetened beverages to help prevent diabetes. Sugar-sweetened beverages include beverages like:
regular soda
fruit punch
fruit drinks
energy drinks
sports drinks
sweet tea
other sugary drinks."
Here's the whole bit from the article, which does not include the sentence I've bolded and does include the fact that it's a myth that too much sugar causes diabetes.Myth: Eating too much sugar causes diabetes.
Fact: The answer is not so simple. Type 1 diabetes is caused by genetics and unknown factors that trigger the onset of the disease; type 2 diabetes is caused by genetics and lifestyle factors.
Being overweight does increase your risk for developing type 2 diabetes, and a diet high in calories from any source contributes to weight gain. Research has shown that drinking sugary drinks is linked to type 2 diabetes.

other sugary drinks.
These will raise blood glucose and can provide several hundred calories in just one serving!
See for yourself:
Just one 12-ounce can of regular soda has about 150 calories and 40 grams of carbohydrate. This is the same amount of carbohydrate in 10 teaspoons of sugar!
One cup of fruit punch and other sugary fruit drinks have about 100 calories (or more) and 30 grams of carbohydrate.

So, do you want to try again? And not make things up this time?

but something tells me pretty kitty, cicio15, or chris whatever is not going to see it that way ...0 -

Here is a MIND SHOCKER, for everyone who says it's not addictive.
Sugar is a board category, there is simple, you know... like sucrose, glucose, dextrose, galactose, fructose etc... Or simply stated carbohydrates.
Great now PU arrived. From here we don't go downhill, we go over the cliff.
and then crash and burn, and then have a level five nuclear meltdown …
but don't worry PU works in a lab and knows "science"….0 -
Just knocked back a Twix and a good old Coca Cola. Gonna go ride my bike for about 40 miles and hope that the sugar doesn't kill me while I'm out there. You guys enjoy and play nice

Oh no, keto man has arrived. His statement makes Chrysalid sound like Stephen Hawkings levels of logical.
Dumpster fire.

So here's the part I supposedly made up that the article didn't say...
Now who's telling lies, Mrs Peach.

Anyway, once again the playground bullies brigade has ruined someone's post. So I am really off this time.

Not telling lies, lying implies intent to deceive.
I just have a fever and missed the sentence.
You however, did attempt to deceive when you left off the article header and actual cause of Type 2 diabetes.

No one is saying it didn't say what you quoted. But you took it completely out of context and left out the most relevant part because it didn't support your ridiculous assertion.0 -

No, I did say it didn't say the one sentence. My fever-addled brain missed it.
I edited my posts once I caught it.
Of course, since she's a liar, she assumed I was lying... like why would I just randomly make something provably false up? For that matter, why would I make anything up?

She always disappears when she can't answer for what she's dumped in a thread. She did that in the other thread too. She did that in the vinegar thread as well.

It's the fun sized Snickers I want to eat when I get better. 80 calories of damnation and ruin. I've sold my soul and well-being.
