Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 The small amounts that occur in ww bread and Kashi aren't going to make that much difference. It is nearly impossible to completely eliminate it. But along with being a label reader, it is good that you are also an ingredient reader. By avoiding processed foods you can also avoid this sugar. But I'm guilty too, I like the Kashi cereal and Flax cereal for something different from standard oatmeal sometimes. You should avoid bars with a high sugar content since there are so many out there with very little. Way to go for keeping in tune with this very important component.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hello from a diabetic, Yes, no sugar smell means no sugar. Don't know about counting carbs, but taking stabilized oxygen has lowered my sugar and kept it down.

Does anyone know? I am thinking that the SCOBY > predates white sugar, no? Yes, , that is true, of course, but white sugar is the most easily processed food for the Kombucha culture, very consistent and stable, and since we have easy access to it, why not use it?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Well, yes, but I mean, what was used before the white sugar? Just any sweetener there was? Did SCOBY's die or not grow as fast? Just curious if anyone has any knowledge to share about the development to what it is today, kwim? maria. > > > Yes, , that is true, of course, but white sugar is the most easily > processed food for the Kombucha culture, very consistent and stable, and > since we have easy access to it, why not use it? > > Typewriters predate computers.

Kwim? ;-) Hi, , The use of sugar cane and other sugar containing food stuffs, e.g. grains has a history of thousands of years - actually quite fascinating! http://www.chemheritage.org/EducationalServices/pharm/antibiot/readings/ferment.\ htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar It could be that Kombucha was a spin-off of someone brewing something else, and the right combination of bacteria and yeasts just happened to come together into the zooglia thing we call 'Kombucha culture' today. Like all microflora it needs food, and there are, of course many starch/ sugar containing substances available in nature ..... yours very fermented, Margret;-0 -- +------------------ Minstrel@... --------------------+ <)))<>< http://www.therpc.f9.co.uk <)))<>< http://www.AnswersInGenesis.com There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 This is so weird.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Some people have felt there is a diet connection, especially with sugar and carbohydrates. I always do better without too much fruit too. Maybe candida is playing a part or fungus which feeds on the fungus. I totally avoid corn syrup especially. Sugar? This is so weird.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Now that I'm on the fungus train, I'd warn you to rule out a fungus. That's what has been calling the feather-winged beetle to me.
