Airport & Egg Drink - Thanks Bee!! & Sugar reply

[Guest guest]

Last night, I made up 3 servings of egg drink and put them in my

large thermos. (12 eggs, 6 T butter, 8 T VCO). I took a chance on

getting them through the security screener. A little kindness goes a

long way. He tested them with a sniffer and then did a sample on

a test strip, and told me he would let me. In the future, people

might want to get a doctor's note, because under screening rules, you

are allowed liquids if you have a medical condition. When I told the

guy it was raw eggs, he was more than happy to let me through becaues

he felt sorry for me. I just drank breakfast awhile ago, and will

drink again before my flight leaves. (7 hour layover in Atlanta...

geesh!) then a 13 hour flight to Moscow.

Regarding my theory on eating sugar occasionally to keep your body

accustomed to it if you choose to eat it in the future... based on

what others have said, I think there might be something to it. There

are people who pre-diet ate sugary foods, but after LONg periods of

the diet wrote about getting sick every time they eat sugar. I also

remember vaguely reading in Bee's files about such problems.

So if one could eat sugary stuff once per month or so, and NOT get

sick, perhaps I'm not quite as far off base as you think. (Keep in

mind, I've only had 2 sugary treats in 5 months, so I'm not

advocating doing it very often at all). I was happy to discover that

after 4 months without any, I was able to eat it without any headache

or other bad symptoms.

It's similar to someone who drinks beer. If they drink it regulary,

their tolerance builds up... so they can drink several beers without

getting drunk. But if they quit for 6 months, they get a strong

reaction and a strong buzz after one or two beers. ????????
