sorted byYou’re not going to get diabetes from a few custard creams eaten in moderation, stop being dramatic. people don’t need a lecture from holier than thou diet goblins on every post that includes something thats bad for you when consumed in excess, i’m sure people are fully aware. (edited)
So you want to live in a society that penalises everyone for the behaviours of people who cannot control themselves? Why should people who are not obese, who don’t have a problem with food, who are a healthy weight, who exercise regularly, be denied the opportunity to buy an £0.18 packet of biscuits just because there are some people out there who have no will power or self control (edited)
Why do you assume people don’t already know? Like i said everyone doesn’t need a condescending lecture on every deal that contains something that can be unhealthy if consumed in excess. Are you going to go to every alcohol deal and post about how everyone is going to get liver cirrhosis?
Well you're clearly upset that they're being sold for £0.18 so I'm assuming you think the price should be raised which would penalise people of a healthy weight for the actions of those with an unhealthy weight.
That's enough you two, it's very boring.
You need to do a little more, you should really specify type 2 diabetes since type 1 diabetes has practically nothing to do with diet.
And preferably avoid books, or take them with a pinch of salt, written by those in the LCHF diet industry. I’ve just checked the list of authors and it isn’t pretty, it’s practically all the big stars in the LCHF world. For instance, Dr Fung is a nephrologist, but seems to have turned into an expert in diabetes and obesity. Zoe Harcombe previously wrote a book about and sold (still sells?) a diet plan revolving a around Candida overgrowth which is literally pseudoscience.
A custard cream will not kill you or cause instant diabetes. Excessive consumption might but pretty much excessive consumption of anything is probably bad.
For the record I think carbohydrate restriction can be a viable therapeutic intervention in certain situations. I don’t think sugar/carbs are killing us/making us fat/the cause of all the worlds ills and diabetes/promoted as part of a corporate conspiracy/need to be avoided at all costs.
Ignorance is bliss
Get out of your cave and watch some people around you, watch how the entire society is messed up. If cocaine was available at 0.18p you would be surrounded by millions of crack addicts. Instead we have obesity and diabetes. (edited)
Who said anything about penalizing anyone? Go and have your 0.18p biscuits and then spend hours in the gym burning it off.... I'm not stopping you. If few years time don't complain that NHS collapsed.
I'm upset with people being unaware of damage that sugar does to your body, that's all.
You dont get diabetes from eating biscuits.
Diabetes is an autoimmune disease please do research before you make assumptions.
And what research have you done?
I have a diabetic child type 1 who didn't eat sweets or have a high intake of sugar. I can assure you she didn't have them custard creams. Comments like yours make the children believe they are at fault when in reality its nothing they could have done.
Carbohydrates affect sugar levels.
Mate you’re probably surrounded by loads of functioning addicts. Obesity is clearly visible. Me, I’m looking forward to eating those CCs. As a true expert, I’ll prise the biscuits apart ensuring nothing gets broken, scrape the cream with my trained incisors, then eat each biscuit sleeve separately and repeat 3 times. Maybe twice later on if I hear them calling me. Everything in moderation - gosh and heat.
So what do you eat instead of sugar. Majority of readymade foods in this country have sugar in them. Even things that definitely aren't supposed too have any in it.
