Peaches have sugar...you can't get away from that. All fruits and most vegetables have sugar (carrots and beets are loaded with sugar). Its ok.

This is not like pouring white cane sugar down your throat. The benefits of vitamins and phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables far outweigh the detrimental effects of the relatively small amounts of fructose.

I guess my best solution to is to eat foods where I have no need to use any

type of

sweetner. What kinds of food are you eating that you would need to use sweetner?

I have too much other stuff to worry about like real

sugar and saturated fat and my portion sizes to worry

about artifical sweeteners. This is how I see it, I

get soooo overwhelmed with things that I say to

myself, kathi, what makes you fat? Sugar does,

saturated fat, not watching my portions, blah blah

blah. Do artifical sweetners make you fat? No, I don't

think they do, so I don't sit and make a big deal of

them because with loosing fat there is too much other

stuff to deal with like I mentioned above. In my

opinionion, I would not rack your head about it. Just

concentrate on what you know will help you loose the

fat. YOu probably should not sit down in front of the

TV and eat your little yellow packets by the handful,

but no one does that anyway. The artifical sweetners

just trick your mind so you think you are having

sweet. Everyone worrys about this so much and Isn't

there enough info already swimming in your head? I eat

sugar free jello and I haven't died yet. I hope this

does not sould nasty, I just don't think you need to

stress this.

I hope this did not upset anyone,

I know the " Pink Stuff " is toxic in lab rats, so I stay away from

it. The new " Yellow Stuff " is supposed to be safe, but I notice I

become, well, bloated when I use it. I limit myself to 2, maybe 3

packets of Equal a day. I've cut down my Diet soda habit. I only

What's everyone elses take on fake sugars? Do you think everyone

should avoid them at all costs, or should you just do what works for

you?

[Guest guest]

This makes sense, Kathi, although I have cut back on artificial

sweetners in the past few weeks. I used to use a ton of it, in my

oatmeal, in my coffee, in my cottage cheese, and I realized that just

having the taste of something sweet in my mouth all the time made me

crave the real stuff all the more.

I figure the less I use of something artificial the better, so I'm

down to a few packets of Equal or Splenda each day. Recently, even

saccharin has been taken off the warning list by the FDA, which means

they no longer think it causes cancer in lab rats, but it still

tastes nasty and bitter, so that's the one artificial sweetner I

don't use.

Equal is my favorite; it tastes the sweetest to me with no weird

aftertaste. I like that Splenda holds up in cooking and in hot

liquids, but I don't find it very sweet, and I do think it has a

bitter aftertaste.

Ooooh. Thank you. That really smacked some sense into me. I guess

I have deleted other things from my day for six days a week, why

should I take an otherwise harmless bit of noncaloric sweetness?

And no. Definitely not: Thou shall not eat Equal as if thine were

Pixi Sticks.

Well.. I use Splenda for my protein muffins and pizza dough. DH uses splenda

in his lemonade. I use fructose when I'm baking BFL bread in the bread

machine. So, I think you should do what works for you -in moderation- and

avoid refined sugar

I use the old standby 'everything in moderation' when it comes to

artificial ANYTHING. Some of these little rascals can spike your

insulin just like sugar and I try to AVOID them. However, I need

SOME sweet in my life. I have cut all refined sugar out of my diet,

but will have it after the 12 weeks is up in MODERATION. Other than

that, I'll prolly use equal or splenda when I want to sweeten

something (which is pretty rare). I'm a potato chip/bean burrito

craver...not big on sweets so it's not a big deal to me.

[Guest guest]

One of the most difficult things to do is to convince ourselves that we have

no need of sweets in our diet. Especially sweets created by humans.

There are lots of things to drink. Water being at the head of the list.

When I gave up white foods my bladder control problems disappeared, and my

acid reflux disappeared. And, as Lorenzo said, I don't become exhausted and

sleepy halfway through the afternoon.

When I want flavor in a beverage I drink tea. Herb or regular.

Don't tell yourself that you can't have it. Instead tell yourself that you

don't like it, you don't want it, that it doesn't taste near as good as you

thought it would. And this applies to anything you might put in your mouth.

Both food and drink.

It is not a fast way to go, and will not work overnight, but it does work.

Enjoy! :- )

For me I use Stevia as a sweetner, I like the clear steviasodes liquid but have

to be careful--very easy to get too much! I use it in my kefir smoothies, herbal

teas, yogurt, and my daughter's oatmeal. I'm thinking of buying the stevia

powder to cook desserts with, my husband is very sugar oriented but if I get the

right amount of stevia he can not tell the difference! I made a cherry cobbler

the other day, very good. You can use coconut oil in the pie crust, and whole

wheat flour. My mom has a flour grinder so I have that available...I am glad he

does like whole wheat bread. Oh, coconut oil makes wonderful bread! Even

whole wheat grains though, it is something I am trying to eat very little of.

More meat, vegatables, and fruits. My daughter and I have fruit for dessert

mostly, she is so young that she thinks it is just wonderful--doesn't know any

different. If I leave the chair too close to the fruit bin she gets her own

snack! If you are not used to eating fruit as a snack or dessert there are

ways you can spice it up. Slice peaches and put cinnamon or nutmeg on them with

a little stevia, peanut butter on apples and bannanas, fruit salad with yogurt

as a dressing, fruit tart with stevia in the cream cheese instead of sugar (if

your not vegan...I'm not), and fruit smoothies either using raw milk or

something like rice milk (never soy!) to which you can add stevia as well (ok, I

use stevia in everything...lol Hope this is helpful information for you

As kids we used to love sucking on sugar cane, which has such a

delicious flavour. It;'s hard to believe it's bad for you - why did

nature do that?

Hi Sharon,

It's my understanding that sugar cane is NOT bad for you ... because

it contains the natural enzymes, minerals, etc., inherent in the

natural plant. It's only the extracted product (actual sugar) that's

bad for you. Whenever I could find it, I would get sugar cane for my

kids to suck on when they were growing up. Three kids, all adult, only

one cavity among them!

Sugar cane sugar IMO is not bad. What is bad is when they process the original

brown sugar into WHITE sugar. Oh, they wash and bathe the brown sugar in

ACIDS!!!! That is the very bad part of the white sugar.

Sugar in *any* form will increase one's cells' resistance to

insulin. This means the body must produce more & more insulin over

time to be able to transport glucose into one's cells. Insulin is

really hard on the body. If we do not minimize insulin, we age more

quickly. And many people develop type II diabetes as we age.

Sugar can has enzymes, phytochemicals, and minerals which are

healthy, but there are many other ways to get these benefits without

all the sugar.

As with most things in life, moderation is the key. If one

consumes sugar cane in moderation & cuts out all other sugar, it

probably would be ok. But just using cane as a sugar substitute in

a diet high in sugars is asking for trouble.

Of course, these are my opinions. I have sire been wrong

before in life, so best to do one' own research.

How To Shake Your Sugar Addiction

Stacey in Illinois

[Guest guest]

Ummmm....What do you mean by SUGAR? Do you mean that you are madly

digging through cabinets and eating like a cup of raw sugar in a

sitting? Or do you mean you crave normal foods with sugar in them?

There is nothing wrong with eating some sugars! Banding is not about

a diet, or deprivation and misery! It's about eating small quantities

of normal foods, including sugar. There is some sugar in many foods,

not just sweet things.

A tsp of sugar is only 15 calories! I use sugar regularly, in small

amounts. the artificial sweeteners are mostly all chemicals, are 1000

times sweeter than sugar, and teach us to crave things that are way

too sweet. I don't use them at all.

There is nothing wrong, in my book, with having a tsp of sugar in

coffee or tea, on cereal, or a small sweet treat even every day. If

you feel deprived and try to have no sugar for days at a time, you

will eventually give out and eat a whole lot at once, wghich will

throw your blood sugar and insulion levels into a tailspin, and set

up a rebound effect later.

The solution is not to deprive yourself. Stop the " diet " mentality

and just eat smaller quantites of things, including sugar! The sugar

in fruits and carrots is a " better " type of sugar. TRy making some

carrot salad, or have a small piece of fruit. If it is CANDY sugar

you " need " then this points more toward a psychological " addiction "

(not a physical addiction), but, even then, a couple Hershey's kisses

are not going to kill you or kill your banding success.

If you crave large quantities of candy, and cannot stop this, you

might benefit from working with a good therapist, as this is more of

a compulsive eating area. Many of us work with a therapist, and find

the support and guidance invaluable. Banding touches every area of

our lives, and we become quite different people along the band path.

The changes and challenges that brings can be difficult to deal with.

[Guest guest]

Sugar is an interesting topic. Not until the late 1800's did humans

have the ability to mass produce refined sugars. In fact, in the

1700's, refined sugar was literally worth its weight in gold. No

wonder only Royalty and the rich had access to sweets and pastries.

It makes sense why being fat was a sign of wealth and position.

Funny... if you look at the increase in the percentage of adults in

western culture who are overweight, that curve can be traced right

back to the point where refined sugar became avaialable to the

masses.

So why does refined sugar matter to weight? We weren't really

created to consume as much sugar as our sweets-saturated culture

leads us to believe. There is an actual chemical response to refined

sugar in our bodies that sets us up to eat more. (Don't ya think the

sugar industry knows this?) Eating refined sugars dumps a

concentrated " dose " of simple sugars directly into our blood stream.

Our poor pancreas senses this instant increase in blood sugar and

panics! It dumps insulin into our blood stream to correct this, and

almost without fail, overcorrects. This leads to a sugar crash with

an intense craving for something to raise our now too-low blood sugar

level. We feel hungry, even ravenous..... and it has nothing to do

with an empty stomach.

(Just as an aside, natural sugars are " complex " sugars and have to be

broken down in our digestive system. They do not impact insulin the

same way that " mainlining " refined sugars do.... Yes, I

said " mainlining " ... think about how quickly an I.V. drug hits your

system, verses a pill. The pill has to be broken down, the I.V. drug

is nearly instantaneous)

I say all of this only because I fully believe that knowledge is

power. We can have control over this nasty

sugar/insulin/sugar/insulin cycle, and it doesn't take too long to

correct it. After a few days without refined sugar, the only " true "

craving is the craving in our heads. Just be careful not to

substitute other simple carbohydrates while you're trying to get off

of sugar. Any simple carbohydrate will get your pancreas all in a

twitter. Be kind to your pancreas! lol

I hope this helps a little!

Personally, I would be more concerned on not enough sugar to the batch. 5

minute boil is plenty long enough to kill any bacteria in the water. But

then again, you didn't boil ALL of the water, so you stand a chance of

having bacteria still in the brew.

I commonly put 3 cups of sugar to 2 gallons and a quart of tea. With a

quart being poured back into the culture along with some tea that has been

sitting for a while.

Stanley

Sugar

My roommate made our latest brews of KT. (He didn't have directions handy

and made it just once before.) The two 1 gallon containers are almost

full

(which gives you an estimate of amount of water used).

He said he added 1 cup of sugar to the first pan of water after it

started

boiling and it boiled about 5 minutes after. He said the second pan of

water

boiled 10 minutes, he then added the tea bags (4:2), and immediately

after,

added 1 cup of sugar.

Is this a problem--not boiling to purification in the one brew and boiling

the sugar? I'm most worried about too much yeasty bacteria but don't know

how

to discern if we have this problem. Any help is appreciated!

PS. the tea has been brewing about a week already. It has a punch to it,

) Sugar and the immune system: Medical ResearchConsuming 100g of sugars (including refined sugar) significantly reduces the ability of white blood cells to destroy foreign particles and microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, and viruses). The negative effects start within 30 minutes after ingestion, last for about 5 hours, and typically include a fifty-percent reduction of these cell’s ability to destroy foreign particles, at the peak of the inhibition (about 2 hours after ingestion). The reason for this negative effect is probably due to the elevated insulin levels after ingestion of sugar, and the competition with Vitamin C for cell membrane transport sites. This is based upon the fact that blood sugar and Vitamin C appear to have opposite effects on white blood cell functioning, and the fact that both substances require insulin for membrane transport into body tissues. It is therefore not surprising that some authors (Murray &

Pizzorno, 1988) conclude that “… the consumption of simple sugars … impairs immune function, particularly during an infection.
