Comments on: Can I get(or increase my likelihood of) diabetes from eating/drinking too much fruit? http://diabetesanddiet.net/diabetes-fruits-and-vegetables/can-i-getor-increase-my-likelihood-of-diabetes-from-eatingdrinking-too-much-fruit Best Information on Diabetes and Diet Sat, 30 Jul 2011 05:01:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: gHaggy http://diabetesanddiet.net/diabetes-fruits-and-vegetables/can-i-getor-increase-my-likelihood-of-diabetes-from-eatingdrinking-too-much-fruit/comment-page-1#comment-2395 gHaggy Sat, 17 Jul 2010 04:30:59 +0000 http://diabetesanddiet.net/diabetes-fruits-and-vegetables/can-i-getor-increase-my-likelihood-of-diabetes-from-eatingdrinking-too-much-fruit#comment-2395 Contrary to popular myths, eating too much sugar *does* cause diabetes. Sugar is sugar, whether from fruit or a candy bar. Increase the protein and fat in your diet and drop the sugar and you should lose weight. Read the book "Cereal Killer" by Alan Watson for a good overview of the current research that explains why too many carbohydrates can be a health problem. Or watch the movie "Fat Head". And the "food pyramid" is based on a flawed idea about what causes heart disease and diabetes dating from the 1960's. We've learned a lot since then, and the culprit turns out to be a high carbohydrate diet.<br><b>References : </b><br> Contrary to popular myths, eating too much sugar *does* cause diabetes.

Diabetes doesn't come from being overweight or eating lots of sugar or fruits. Diabetes type 2 comes from having a risk factor such as obesity WITH a genetic susceptibility to diabetes type 2. I have seen obese patients without diabetes and I have seen muscular lean young patients with type 2 diabetes. Type 1 is completely different, you need not only a genetic susceptibility but also a trigger to cause your antibodies to destroy the beta cells (that make insulin) of your pancreas, usually a virus or a traumatic event. Also they have determined that chocolate milk is the best post-workout beverage. You also don't need that much protein only 0.8-1gram of protein per kg of body weight. So if you are 285# then you129kg (pounds divided by 2.2 =kg) are so about 105-130g of protein a day. Considering that 1 egg white has 7g and a 3oz chicken breast has 21 (7g of protein for every oz) you could get all of the protein you need from food. A 6 egg white omelet=42g pro 2 slices of bread =6 g pro 1 cup milk=8g pro That is just breakfast and you already have half of your protein needs 1 oz meat=7g protein 1 starch=3g pro (pasta, bread, rice) 1 fruit=0 g protein 1 vegetable=2 g pro If you eat too much protein it will be excreted and make the kidneys work extra hard by filtering off the nitrogen and any excess will be stored as fat. In a nutshell peaches don't cause diabetes your Uncle Petie does.<br><b>References : </b><br>By the way talk to a reputable source, not what someone heard about someones friend.

Eating too many calories, however, can contribute to the development of diabetes. There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 is the result of an autoimmune disorder that damages the beta islet cells of the pancreas that produce the hormone insulin. Type 1 diabetics produce NO insulin and must inject insulin daily to control their blood sugar. Type 2 diabetes is a little different. Type 2 diabetics may produce insulin in sufficient amounts, but the body is "resistant" to this insulin. The most common cause of insulin resistance is being overweight. Type 2 diabetics can often lessen the severity of their disease, or even in some cases reverse it, by losing weight and getting regular physical activity. Congratulations on your weight loss! Keep up the good work and make sure your calorie intake is appropriate for you. There are lots of sites on the internet that can help you calulate appropriate calorie levels for you. A good, free one is www.mypyramid.gov. It will also give you guidelines for how many servings of the food groups you should consume daily for good health. Stay within these parameters and you're fine.<br><b>References : </b><br>RN Contrary to popular myths, eating too much sugar does not cause diabetes.

I'd cut back or put some protein with it to keep the sugar from oxidizing (becoming blood sugar) too fast.<br><b>References : </b><br> Fruits do carry a lot of NATURAL sugar, but anything that is out of moderation is bad for you.
