I think your jynnan tonnix should be fine with sugar free tonic.

Yes I use sugar free tonic.

Check the label on your whiskey; I think some of them can have quite a
bit of sugar.

Ok thanks I will!


I don't understand the insulin reference. Obviously something I
need to learn.

PP does a good job of explaining it in detail, but here's a quick
summary. Your cells have these little things sticking out of them
called insulin receptors. When an insulin molecule strikes a
receptor, it tells the cell to do certain things, one of which is to
grab glucose from your blood and store it. When carbohydrates enter
your blood (as glucose (sugar)), your body reacts by creating more
insulin to get the sugar dealt with before it all piles up in your
liver and kidneys and you die. More carbs = more insulin = more cells
being told to sock away fat.

Oh my! It is very complicated!


Where insulin resistance comes in is this: modern grain and sugar
diets work this system much harder than it was designed to work.
About 25% of the population has a strong enough pancreas and receptors
that they're able to keep up. (Those people you know who eat nothing
but junk food and never gain a pound. And they still suffer from the
other poisonous effects of a constant insulin rush.) For the rest of
us, our receptors get worn out and stop triggering as well as they
should. When that happens, the pancreas desperately increases the
insulin even more to compensate. This becomes a vicious circle, with
your receptors becoming less sensitive and your pancreas working
harder and harder, until something gives up, and you find yourself
officially a Type II diabetic, eating pasta and baked potatoes like
the ADA tells you to, and shooting yourself up with large quantities
of insulin to keep triggering your worn-out receptors.

Good Heavens!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why would the ADA tell you to do that????? Are
they in the pay of big business??


Type II diabetes used to be called "adult-onset," because it used to
take most of a lifetime of bread and potatoes and noodles to break the
system down to that point. Now that we've upped the ante with kids
sucking down sugar water all day -- and then feeding them more low-fat
packaged meals when they get chubby -- it's showing up so early that
the term "adult-onset" doesn't make sense anymore.

Yes I have seen that happening, but didn't understand why.

I am very grateful for your explanation!! I feel even better now about
cutting out all carbs for the moment!!!

Will it mean my recepters don't have to work so hard?

Pure whiskey as well as any other pure distilled liquor contains no
sugar. It is converted to alcohol during the distillation process.
(Yes, that does include rum)
Some concoctions such as Southern Comfort and Captain Morgan have sugars
added back in when blended.
Pure liquor = no sugar.
Enjoy!

That would be Yes. A list of the ADA's sponsors is very illuminating. In
Australia, the president of Macdonalds is on the ADA-equivalent board...

As you lose weight, and stop flooding your system with insulin, your body
gets better at producing and using just the right amount of insulin -
especially if you help it along with exercise. You grow more receptors that
are more sensitive; you burn fat as a primary fuel instead of storing excess
carbs as fat; you reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke. If you are at
risk of diabetes, you protect your pancreas and hopefully delay the onset of
diabetes until you've died of something else, hopefully at a ripe and active
old age.

Actually, I don't think Diabetes UK is corrupt so much as blindly trusting
the ADA and the WHO, who rely on the ADA for a steer. I now sit on a couple
of research panels through DUK, and people I have met through them are
beginning to look more to Japan and Finland for research results, which is
good cos they're much more into low carb... it'll just take the usual
zillion years for the guidance to filter down to the ground level and GPs.
