Artificial sugar vs real sugar



Recommended Posts

Project me, she does lie she is lying outright when she says artificial sweeteners cause cancer. I posted proof that she is lying. If you seriously believe she is conducting experiments on humans without any medical training whatsoever Then I dont know what to say. She says sugar doesn't increase a diabetic's blood sugar, which is an outright lie, and im sure you know that having a son who is diabetic. She says she knows more than paramedics do, expect she says they are the same as emt but give a few meds. which is false, ive done tracheotomies, ive delivered babies, and so much more but this "lady" says no, , we can scope for choking, we defib, and much more. She says people tell her she should be a doctor and she compares herself to one. She is a secretary in the er and acts like she is the er doc. she says her doctor approves of her doing unlicensed untrained and unprofessional studies on humans. and that their own doctors said it was ok ( which would get their license revoked by the way) so everything she said is a lie, and the word fat never scares me, to me Fat is a descriptive word, it is not the same as obese, nor is it the same as overweight. Im sorry you dont like the word, truly I am but it fits this person to a T.

NFN, but I have little to no regard for what the FDA says is "safe". Nor do I subscribe to the NCI or their findings as gospel. Both the FDA and the NCI are loaded with politically persuasive connections. Politicians, as we know are owned by corporations. Now with that said, I believe that all things natural are better for you then their synthetic substitutes. That goes for GMO's, pesticides, herbicides, margarine and sweeteners. I won't go near them

I have started taking real sugar in my tea, about 5 cups daily. But then I hardly take carbs in any other form.

5 cups of sugar might be a bit much. :angry:
I think they meant 5 cups of tea with added sugar, not 5 cups of sugar. Really now?

I tend to avoid them if I can. Obviously giving up diet soda pre-op made a huge dent. Today if I sweeten a drink I use stevia. I don't do yogurt since I came off purees unless it's unflavored and I'm adding ranch dip to make a veggie dip. My whey powder and fav Protein Bars do have sucralose so there's that, but I don't replace sugar when baking or whatever, I just use the sugar and watch the quantity of what I'm eating. If I WAY overdo on sugar, I'll dump so it's a good deterrent not to binge!

Um, I was joking. Was trying add a bit of levity. A thousand pardons.

No worries we are sorry it seems like everybody was jumping on the attack bandwagon. In essence I was guilty of it myself.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
