felly100 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Well,it seems like a good northern diet of lard,butter and red meat isn't so bad after all. All that low fat rubbish is packed full of the new enemy, sugar. http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/mar/23/everything-you-know-about-unhealthy-foods-is-wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aris Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Long time coming too. The worldwide augar lobby as been very successful until now in supressing the facts.

secretagentmole Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) I am a type one diabetic (been diabetic for 35 years - since I was 10). You have to be so careful what you buy because of the hidden sugar! There was also this mantra that margarine was good butter was bad. Now it turns out that the exact opposite is true, margarine is hideously bad for you (and tastes like ****) and butter is better for you (than margarine). Hell I decided years ago that butter tastes better and have a cholesterol level of 3.8 despite enjoying it on my bread daily! Wait 3 days and it will be water is bad for you!

It's all about moderation - that's why I only put a splash of water in my whiskey ! Edited March 23, 2014 by station Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I gave up all sugar a while ago because it makes my teeth ache, sweet things leave me feeling bloated and lethargic and drinking sugary tea just made me thirstier. So I thought this stuff can't be good I'll cut it out. Then all the experts jumped up and started telling us sugar is the great enemy and we should all give it up. It was nice to be ahead of the curve for a change. I should add I'm not a diabetic but my father died from renal failure brought on by type 2 diabetes (or I've since learned, possibly brought on by the medication given for type 2 diabetes) so I'm perhaps more conscious of dietary issues than most. Its extremely difficult to avoid processed sugar. You've practically got to live on fresh meat, fresh vegetables, water and nothing else. It incenses me the way our food is doctored to make it cheaper and more palatable. No wonder people are so fat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've practically got to live on fresh meat, fresh vegetables, water and nothing else. It incenses me the way our food is doctored to make it cheaper and more palatable. No wonder people are so fat. True. The trouble is because the low fat diet food industry is so massive, they pump salt and sugar into stuff to make it taste nice because the true flavour channels (i.e. fat) are closed. Then you have the women's magazine industry, which despite it being perfectly obvious what's going on, cons on a monthly basis otherwise quite intelligent women into following ridiculous eating regimes because some nauseating celebrity's doing so. Or actually isn't doing so, but it is being paid by the magazine to say that they are. Margarine is evil and I hate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedsanity Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 It goes a little way to explaining all the conspiracy theorists war on aspartame , maybe it's all bad rumours started by the sugar industry to try and protect their products and profits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I think that the most worrying thing about sugar it quite how much of it they put in the food and drink that we eat things like soft drinks can have mad amounts of sugar in them I stopped tacking sugar in drinks and eating sweet things years ago but still the doctor says that I am on the verge of having diabetes my fault as I do eat to much.

Thunderbird Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 True. There was a programme on the radio the other day that said that a shop bought muffin can have something like ten times the amount of sugar than a homemade one and they will taste the same. In my opinion a home made one would taste better but that's beside the point. It's a sad state of affairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Galore! Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) it's absolutely true, water is bad for you. oestrogen from the contraceptive pill passes through the body and out through a lady's urine, the water companies can't or won't extract it when it's re processed so our tap water still contains it, apparently it causes men to grow tits, and testicles to shrink.
