Kimberly- I think it has to do with our bodies resistance. It is like why can some people smoke for 50 years and not get lung cancer. If you eat a lot of refined (processed) sugars your body will become suceptible to a wide variety of conditions, including diabetes. This is not to say that you will get them. But you will put your body at a higher risk. There are more factors other than diet such as exercise, mental health, stress levels, genes, etc...These also play a huge part. I think that if you have a high carb, high refined sugar diet you are putting yourself at risk and when you get older you are way more likely to develop conditions like diabetes. Like I said before there are other factors...but I think the bottom line is to avoid refined, processed sugars. Eating fresh, raw fruits and vegetables can correct a lot of problems.. Rob

so why do you think it is that some people can eat tons of carbs and
sugars and never get diabetes??? and then others do????
I think it contributes, but I don't think it causes it, or everyone who
ate lots of carbs and sugars would have diabetes....

I could not agree more. This is definitely a condition not a
disease. It is very easily reverseable. There is an herbal remedies group on
yahoo where you can learn a lot from asking questions about this. I have
learned a ton there. Your diet is vital in reversing this. Stay away from
carbs and especially refined sugars. As you body gets bombarded with sugar in
order for it to burn off the sugar it excretes insulin. After a while your
body develops a resistance to insulin and must produce more and more to burn
off the sugar. This resistance to insulin is called, diabetes. Here is a post
from the herbal remedies group that talks a little about this. --Rob
I want to bring up the sugar thing. Eating too much sugar does
make you gain weight because it burns off very slow in our bodies. Sugar is a
carb. It increases your appetite and causes your insulin levels to spike. When
you eat starches, flours, and yeasts your also adding sugar into your body.
To burn off these sugars your body puts out insulin. By
bombarding your body with so much sugar for so long, your cells become
resistant to the insulin thats put out to burn all this sugar off and now your
body must produce more and more of it and the result is insulin resistance
(Diabetes). When the FDA told us to cut out meats because it raises our
cholesteral and eat more macaroni and such, it created the largest generation
of Diabetics.
I believe (this is my own thoughts) that sugar was not meant to
be a part of a healthy diet for us. It has only negative effects on the body
and nature always balences things out so because sugar has such a bad effect on
us, I dont believe we were ever intended to eat it. I have done so much
reading on this.
