Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="AloeSvea" data-source="post: 2608559" data-attributes="member: 150927">Yes, very interesting.And, yes, not sure how this adds up for non-diabetic yet sweet toothed souls trying to navigate the world of food and drink out there. And this is about fat storage, and the effect of too much fat storage and disease. Nice that we type twos were exempted from this.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite6" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" />And bearing in mind, how many people out there are very attached to food and drink products that have sugar in it. And just the enormous amount of sugar in food and drink products. And the type two diabetes epidemic is being called a tidal wave/tsunami. Hmmmmm.So is what is good for us with too many sick fat cells, not good for the general public? Regarding weight loss. So says WHO, interestingly. And that sugar could very well, ought to be called out more for it, perhaps, be addictive in the purest sense of the world. Not mentioned. Hmmmm.Anyway. I think about this in regards to children - does one give them sugar sweetened products or stevia sweetened products? And I have been on the side of stevia, because, as far as I know, stevia is not addictive. But I am no expert. (I have never groaned with pleasure eating any of the foods I have sweetened with steiva. Not so with sugar. But I am just one human.) Meanwhile, Childhood obesity is a huge and getting huger issue, and very pertinent with regards to later disease, as we know, which is related to those sick fat cells and too much glucose for the cells, ie insulin resistance. For me it's cut down on the sweetener, and use stevia, when feeding children in my own life. But this is contrary to what WHO is saying. Hmmm. And sugar and its effect on dental decay. Since I have cut sugar down enormously so have my cavities. And that is with stevia replacing sugar in my baked goods and ice cream when sweetener is called for. Which is a general response - nothing to do with having a shonky blood glucose system or not. ie what is good for me there for my teeth is for non-diabetics too. But this study is just focussing on sugar and its effect on weight.I am still thinking about this. I don't know how this is a good call in this day and age, where sugar is far too much far too everywhere in food and drink. And the fact that it is toxic in its dose, not mentioned enough. And by WHO, even, it seems.I'm in one of the fattest countries in the world, with too many fat children, and a very high and increasing type two diabetes rate. I cannot see how telling folks to eat more fruit for natural sweeteners, rather than do something about those high levels of potentially toxic sugar in so much of the food and drink, can be a good move right now. And I am deliberately saying this in a understated way. The sugar industry must be delighted with this study.</blockquote>
