RE: Cocao has compounds which may help delay onset of type 2 diabetes
excellent information @dana-edwards..there's some really interesting new medical knowledge in this area. The (hard) alternative is to almost completely cut out sugars from your intake.. The low FODMAP diet. It's difficult but basically cuts out all forms of fermentable carbs. I have a friend who is diabetic and just from stopping eating bread his health has radically improved.
that is interesting about your friend. I went almost 100% carb free from years, especially breads and anything made from wheat. Recently I added a small amount of crabs back into my diet and my fasting levels have actually decreased. Everyone's body is different and our needs change on a regular basis. You just have to do what works for you personally.
yeah the whole wheat thing is really interesting and makes me wonder what the underlying problem with wheat so many people have. probably overexposure to the pesticides they use to grow it.
it's not easy cutting out most of the carbs from your life. I literally daydream about eating biscuits (cookies) and toast dripping with butter.. I'm also dairy free at the moment too. It's not my choice. I'm doing it for medical reasons but I have also lost a bonus 24 pounds (no more Dad Bod)
Not sure if you were around before the advent of genetically modified wheat, but the wheat problems from so many people began soon after it hit the markets. Most people don't realize the wheat we eat today was crossed with various types of grasses that produced larger seed pods than unmodified wheat. Then it was modified again to be round up ready. I think those modifications have something to do with it.
