THE “SUGAR-FREE” LIE

It saddens me to see how diabetics are tricked into thinking that a “sugar-free” cereal composed of corn flakes and raisins is good for them. What some diabetics may not realize is that corn is a grain used to fatten chickens and pigs. It is also the same grain that fattens diabetics and non-diabetics alike, while those with diabetes find their condition becomes worse.

Bread, cereal (all of them, including oatmeal) and flours are Type F Foods (FOES for diabetes control), and when consumed in excess, can be very harmful for diabetics, as they convert very quickly into glucose, causing diabetes to go haywire. These foods also cause weight gain, which brings about its own array of health problems. A diabetic can eat these foods, but they must be in small quantities (as with the 3x1 DIET) if they wish to control their diabetes.

Realize that your body cannot read the words “sugar-free,” nor does it care if the food is “sugar-free” or not. If it is composed primarily of refined carbohydrates, it will turn into glucose, even if it is “sugar-free,” especially if it is a carbohydrate in the form of flour, crackers or bread. If you doubt what I’m saying, test your glucose with your glucometer and then go ahead and eat five or six of these “sugar-free” cookies that are “diabetic-friendly.” In an hour, you’ll see that your glucose will have increased above dangerous levels (130 mg/dL).

It is true that natural and artificial sweeteners (maltitol, stevia, xylitol, aspartame, sucralose, etc.) that some “sugar-free” products contain do not increase glucose much. But other carbohydrates (flour, starch, fructose) contained in that particular “sugar-free” candy, cookie, bread or dessert will still be converted into large amounts of glucose that will cause damage to the body. Use your glucometer and see the truth for yourself. That is the only way to control diabetes; by knowing the exact effect that each food has on your blood sugar levels. Otherwise, you’re practically playing Russian roulette with everything you eat, “sugar-free” or not, which could lead to loss of your eyesight, kidney damage, amputation and other serious health problems.

The manufacturers that sell these “sugar-free” products are well aware that the vast majority of diabetics do not know that refined carbohydrates (bread, wheat flour, cornstarch, fructose and other natural sugars) are converted into glucose. The only thing they may know is to avoid sugar.

I once saw a relative of a diabetic who needed to inject insulin daily, bring in a “sugar-free” birthday cake. Because it was “sugar-free,” they felt it would be an appropriate gift for this particular diabetic. The reality, however, is that whatever the diabetic consumes will quickly increase glucose levels, as one of the primary ingredients was wheat flour, a starch. A better choice would be a sugar-free cheesecake178, which does not have a lot of flour (or any at all, depending on the recipe).
