Hi all,
is anyone else struggling with conflicting advice regarding diet?
As a T2D I also have slightly raised cholesterol.
I have made my diet as cholesterol friendly as I can, but I thought I would also try some Benecol type products with the added plant stencils.
Unfortunately the only ones I have found have synthetic sweeteners which recent research says is no better for “us” than normal sugar, and is probably worse.(micro biome, etc).
I eat berries, etc, but worry about the fructose. Does the
benefit of the phytonutrients, polyphenols, fibre, etc, outweigh the downside of the fructose?
Does the generally accepted benefit of porridge oats helping to lower cholesterol outweigh the fact that it is a carbohydrate?
Has anyone been doing the HFLC diet for long enough to know that it has no long term implications?
I don’t like drinking water, but am now concerned about the aspartame in every single “low sugar “ squash I can find.
It a blooming minefield!
