You crack me up E with all things that upset yer poor tummy!

BTW, dark chocolate and almonds sound awesome --

Have some for me when ya do!

Sue

WOW..your poor Grandma!!!

Its well documented in some places that the peptide hormone calcitonin is found in the thryoid gland, and in Armour. If the thryoid is low...all kinds of bone issues can arise.

Its very sad that more people haven't explored this. Maybe a lot of suffering could be averted.

As far as cravings are concerned...I want to keep mine (since I think they are healthy) and I plan to get enough thryoid stuff worked out so I can eat what I want.

Yum!!

I love dark chocolate with almonds.

Not a big sugar fan cuz it upsets my tummy.

that sugar thing scared me

///////////////////

Have you ever tried to research that claim? I have to say I've never ever heard that one, and as someone who has a two-fold risk of osteoporosis, I've kinda done my research...caffeine will leach calcium from bones, but I've never heard that sugar will. Mind you, I'm not calling sugar good in anyway...it IS the root of all evil, well, that and money! ;-)

There is an old book, called 'Sugar Blues' that will tell you everything that you want and don't want to know about sugar. I read it years ago and didn't touch the stuff for a long time. One thing that I remember was that excess causes gray hair!!!

Can anyone give documentation on these things, things that are proven? I've never heard of sugar causing gray hair, but I WOULD believe that all these chemically inandated phony sweeteners out here could do it. That is, all but Stevia. It is an herbal plant, so I knew I never believed the lies told about it, which were started by certain other culprits in the industry. I think that the sugar cane plant and the honeycomb that the bee makes were actually put here on this planet for human consumption, but that's just me. Of course, that doesn't cover people like us, who have all these quirks in our genetics, hence our bodies. I believe that it's the burning processes and general processing that has affected these natural things.

Good call . It's not the sugar directly, but the acidic enviroment that it creates that causes the gray hair. Here are the top 10 "Sugar Blues". Gray Hair is number 10. I notice a lot of ailments that have been posted on this list.

1. Blood sugar ups and down can cause a wide variety of physical complaints including: fatigue, anxiety, headaches, shakiness, loss of concentration, moodiness and depression. Signs of “sugar blues” in children are irritability, hyperactivity and trouble focusing.

2. Promotes growth of fungus (candida)

Fungus is able to multiply by mutating into forms that resist all efforts by the immune system to destroy it. It is able to steal sugar and other nutrients from the body. The more sugar you eat, the more you feed the fungus.

3. Weight problems

For the body to function properly, the blood sugar level is equal to about a teaspoon of sugar. For example, one can of soda contains about 8 teaspoons of sugar! When you eat more sugar than the body can use, the excess is stored as fat.

4. Insulin overload wears out the system

Insulin binds with sugar and takes it out of the blood and into the cells where the sugar can be used as fuel. High sugar diets cause more insulin to be released. When cells are bombarded with too much insulin, they become less responsive and sugar levels remain too high in the blood. This condition is known as “insulin resistance” and can lead to diabetes.

5. Increases triglyceride levels in the blood

Eating various combinations of fat plus sugar every day (such as chocolate, caramel, cakes and ice cream) cause an increase of “fat” (triglycerides) in the blood. The blood cells become sticky and this can lead to clogged arteries.

6. Blocks growth hormone

Growth hormone is an anti-aging hormone that repairs damaged tissues. High sugar levels block growth hormone, especially if you eat carbs before bed.

7. Increases inflammation in the body

In the case of inflammatory diseases (such as arthritis, bowel diseases, asthma, skin rashes, etc.), sugar is like adding fuel to the fire!

8. Suppresses the immune system

Sugar decreases the activity of white blood cells for approximately 15 minutes after it is consumed.

9. Speeds the aging process

Contributes to free radical damage leading to premature aging (such as gray hair, wrinkles, poor eyesight, cataracts, etc.)

10. Interferes with mineral absorption

Sugar depletes important minerals such as chromium, copper, calcium and magnesium.

Well, with all the way that sugar is processed now, and all the crap done it it, I wouldn't be suprised if it did give gray hair. Probly KNOWING what's done to it would give us gray hair!

My mother developed diabetes when I was 13 years old.

She was so sick that I gave up sugar then. I don't eat

processed food, I don't drink anything that is

sweetened with sugar (or artificial sweeteners), and I

very rarely eat cakes or biscuits.

I spotted my first white hairs in my twenties. My hair

has been snowy white since my late forties. I was told

by the private doc who sorted out my medication that

prematurely grey or white hair was always looked for

as a symptom of hypothyroidism.

I read waaayyy back there in the 70s or 80s that prematurely gray hair is

sometimes caused by a severe lack of a B vitamin, but I can't remember which

one, or maybe it was an imbalance in all of them. I didn't have any gray

hair until I was 52 yrs old. My family genetics (including me) say that we

all look about 10 yrs younger than what we are. I have eaten sugar all my

life, including now, but I do agree with the part about bombarding our

systems with a big load of high glycemic carbs, constantly, and that would

include sugar. I do know that that much, constantly, would numb the cells

to the effects of insulin, because they are always being bathed in it, under

these circumstances. That would include sugar, moderation is the key, for

me. However, I know that many people have a different genetic code that

says that they shouldn't have had any, from the getgo.

You could very well be on to something there. The doc has me on B complex for high homocysteine and so I must be deficient. I have the most gray in my family and the only one with thick, curly (used to be) hair. I'm also the only hypo and I have though the years eaten tons more sugar than the rest. So it's a toss up for me, I guess... Judy

My hair was kinda wavy a little when I was younger and pretty thick. Now it's thin and so curly it looks like I've got one of them spiral perms. Maybe the weight was pulling out the curl. Sometimes I get so mad at it I threaten to cut it off. ( It's down to my waist ) Then I think wow, if it curls like this now, I'll look like Buckwheat if I cut it short!
