For who?cornflakes good or bad
cornflakes good or bad
Bad even for someone using insulin as they have little nutritive value.
Do cornflakes actually taste of anything? It is a long time since I ate any - but I can't remember any taste.But very tasty and doable with insulin. Not something I eat any longer, but many type 1s eat cereals without any bother.
Is this really the case, the flakes are essentially sugar. I am aware Type 1's are capable of double diabetes / insulin resistance. As I understand it T1 insulin use attempts to mimic what occurs in so called normal persons, these are the foods that damage them also. I do not believe there are free hits based on the mortality stats / complications with T1 on high carb (normal) diets.But very tasty and doable with insulin.

The Stanford researchers conducted a sub-study in 30 subjects whose prior blood sugar tests indicated that they were “healthy” (i.e. not prediabetic or diabetic). They were fitted with continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and alternated between 3 breakfasts; (1) a bowl of cornflakes with milk, (2) a peanut butter sandwich and (3) a protein bar.
Significantly, more than half of the “healthy” group had blood sugar spikes at the same high levels as those who were diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic [1,7].
Dr. Michael Snyder, professor and senior author of the study said;
“We saw that 80% of our participants spiked after eating a bowl of cornflakes and milk. Make of that what you will, but my own personal belief is it’s probably not such a great thing for everyone to be eating[7].”
Mr Kellog was also a 7th Day Adventist who was very anti meat. His brother was more commercially oriented and started adding sugar to the original product to keep up with the competition from GrapeNuts!There is a YouTube video on the Inventor of corn flakes, he was running an asylum!
Which says it all!
For me, in the never ever eat category. Very high carb. Why would I?cornflakes good or bad
The flakes are essentially carbohydrate - high in starch. When digested the long molecules of starch are chopped up into shorter pieces, which are sugars, and then absorbed from gut to bloodstream which is where diabetics begin to have problems. The problems are different for the different types, and where a type one could use insulin to improve things for many type 2s that's not really an option - though type 2s can be complicated.Is this really the case, the flakes are essentially sugar.
