Chuck - MDs like Joel Fuhrman, John McDougall, etc., have their patients off of Type 2 meds in days and Type 2 reversed in months. eg: https://www.amazon.com/End-Diabetes-Live-Prevent-Reverse-ebook/dp/B0089LOG7U
Type 2 = insulin resistance and eliminating that should be your #1 goal. And as you probably know, Type 2 increases the risk of other issues. eg: DrFuhrman.com | | | | | | | | | | | DrFuhrman.com | | | | From: "ch...@wbmfg.com" <ch...@wbmfg.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Saturday, April 22, 2017 1:14 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Mad cow Well that would be a bonus but I am looking to prevent the extra risk of stroke and mad cow primarily. My type 2 is not out of control but needs all the help it can get.

On Saturday, April 22, 2017, Bill Prince <part15...@gmail.com> wrote: But does it have calories or not? The issue I see is things that provide "sweetness" but have no calories. They can (and do) trigger an insulin response, but nothing for the insulin to act on. Hence, they tilt toward increasing insulin resistance (the main problem in type 2 diabetes). Type 2 diabetes was practically non-existent prior to the last few decades, which coincides with the proliferation of artificial sweeteners in all things "food". bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 4/22/2017 10:13 AM, Jason McKemie wrote: In all fairness, stevia isn't artificial at all, it's made from a plant's root.

From: Josh Reynolds Sent: Saturday, April 22, 2017 10:00 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Mad cow Stevia actually doesn't. What you're talking is about an artificial sweetener spiking an insulin response due to it containing carbohydrates. " study performed in human volunteers demonstrated that infusions of sucralose in to the stomach had no effect on insulin levels or glucose. In another study, drinking a diet soda sweetened with sucralose had no significant effect on insulin levels a (a minor non-significant increase was noted). A study also demonstrated that the use of stevia did not increase insulin levels in healthy or obese participants" - Josh On Apr 21, 2017 7:41 PM, "Bill Prince" <part15...@gmail.com> wrote: All those artificial sweeteners will kill you and/or give you type 2 diabetes. Besides; they all taste metallic or something. I can't stand them. Just give me plain coffee with a dab of cream, or plain spiced tea. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 4/21/2017 2:51 PM, ch...@wbmfg.com wrote: So if my diet coke zero is going to give me strokes and dementia now.... what the heck am I going to drink all day long? Don’t like sugared soda but like sweet drinks. Sugar is not a friend of my A1C either. I want the caffeine in the morning. Sweet, caffeinated, carbonated, but no artificial sweetener, and no sugar, and no sucralose beverage. Please bring back saccharine.
