Who told you it's sugar that causes Diabetes?!

You can keep sharing nonsense links that mis-educate people.

You have the right to continue deceiving yourself.

You know more than NHS and federal drugs agency FDA which advises diabetics to go for low GI fruits & veggies in lieu of high GI and non diabetics and healthy people without insulin Resistivity or not diagnosed of fatty liver (disease) to limit free added sugars to less than 10% of calorific intàke (200calories for a 2000kilocalories diet or 50g added sugar upper limit (FDA) 30g upper limit (NHS)) .
◾️You can create your own NHS and FDA and WHO and AHA heart association with your own certified body of medical professionals so people can quote your links instead. You have the right to keep deceiving yourself and wallow in your ignorance and misinformation. Now fvck of my mentions ode.

It is in Nigeria you will see a person heap fufu on his plate like mount Everest, with soft drink or beer by the side. The sugar wey the person dey consume like that pass 2 packs of st louis sugar.



He does this on a regular,tell me why diabetes no go kiss am for lips.

No be sugar dey cause diabetes, Olodo.

Eating sugar (strictly speaking) does not directly cause diabetes. It does not cause type 1 diabetes . It does not cause type 2 diabetes. It does not cause gestational diabetes . It does not cause LADA or MODY or any other type of diabetes.

Of course that’s why you who did not create Covid and you, codemaniacs who did not create HIV and who did not create Ebola, bird flu & malaria, need to create your own AHA Heart association and your own FDA and Your own NHS body of medical professionals and your own WHO so people can quote your links instead since you know more than all the certified body of medical professionals worldwide, who have issued a public health warning of daily added free sugars (AKA empty calories) baseline upper limit of 10% of calorific intake/50g added sugars upper limit for 2000kilocalories diet (FDA) 30g (NHS)

Eba and rice are vegetables.

They have nothing to do with sugar.

Athletes are paid to advertise drinks so if you see any athlete drinking anything on TV with the camera on him that's advertisement.

You need the education more than me.

kkins25:
Carbohydrate are sugars, yes, sugar is sugar, but not all sugars are sugars. Pardon the pun
codemaniacs
There are different types of carbohydrates; which are classified based on their complexity (the number of sugar chains).

In line with the context of the thread, we consume three types of carbohydrate:
1. Starch: [/b]This is what we get from rice, beans, millet, corns, etc.
2. [b]Cellulose: [/b]This is what we get from eating green leaves.
3. [b]glycogen: This type of carbohydrate is found in your chicken, beef, pig, etc.

If you eat any of the above, you'd certainly put on weight, but, they won't harm you like the other type of sugar I am about to mention.

***Note: Eating Rice, Pasta, or Indomie, is not different from drinking coke. More on that later

Now, you see the three I mentioned above, starch, cellulose, and glycogen? They are called Complex sugars. The body takes about 20 minutes to 2 hours to break them down and absorb them. What about fruit juice and coke?

There exist another type of Carbohydrate that we get from coke, Pepsi, sweets, etc. This is the SUGAR causing the commotion now. This particular type of carbohydrate is called gotten from sugar cane. It is called Sucrose. Sucrose is a SIMPLE SUGAR.

Now, we have two types of sugars,
1. Simple sugars: Simple sugars are easy to digest and absorb. Examples, sucrose as seen in sugar cane, fructose as seen in honey, maltose, as seen in milk, glucose as you get from sugar cane, honey, milk, energy drink, alcohol, Rice, spaghetti, Indomie, Pasta some wine, and even fruits. All o them listed in this category raise your blood sugar to extreme levels and quickly. They are harmful.. Mango juice, orange juice, watermelon juice, pawpaw juice, and all other fruit juices will kill you just like sugar cubes will. @IzzyArts
The key word to watch out for is juice. So, on the contrary, Mango fruit, Pawpaw fruit, Orange fruit, will not kill you as fast. I also should mention fatty acid or fat from chicken and meat are deadly too.(GLYCOGEN carbohydrate )

2. Complex Sugars : They are difficult to digest. Examples, Yam, Cassava, pounded yam, fufu, boiled corn, in general starch, then vegetables (Cellulose Carbohydrate).. Eat as much as you like, as long as you do not have any genetic predisposition to diabetes, then you are safe… Why? Imagine I mixed 1 bag of rice with a bag of beans, then say you should handpick the rice from the beans. It is a difficult task, right? That's how the digestive system suffers when you eat complex sugars… Inorder words, it takes longer for the sugar in this category to enter the blood.

***note: if you fry yam, potatoes, or others mentioned above, then, you will get diabetes.

So, In a sense, you are right to say all sugar is sugar, because, sucrose, fructose, glucose, galactose, maltose, lactose, and other carbohydrate polymers are all called SUGARS. But are all sugars harmful? YES and NO. Yes because, all sugars are converted to glucose. NO, because, some sugars take longer to digest than others.


Now, there is one more form of carbohydrate I should mention, That is fibre.. subscribe to know more!

@Usefulsense: vegetagles contain a type of sugar called cellulose. The body cannot digest them. They are safe but, may not provide much energy.

blaquebelle, LeyeWrites, : Yes, malt can give you diabetes, just like coke. The body can break it down easily.. Normal sugars should be unprocessed carbohydrates.

caprini1; sugar is too watery? e go shock you! even diet coke is dangerous!

Digested!

Thank God say small stout no follow for the list...

I exercise on a regular so I'm not bordered about wat i eat, I burn it.

Even if you don't drink all the sugary things and drink only water, it still doesn't guarantee long and good life. It doesn't mean another thing can't kill you fast, does it?

This is nice but also wrong on rice.

White rice and fried rice does not affect me so I'm 99% sure it doesn't have sugar.

angelEmade:
...the sugar in a plate of semo,amala, akpu, pounded yam, etc. Will amount to about a box of cube sugars. The irony here is that the glucose and other monosaccharides in these drinks are a form of carbohydrates just like the disaccharides in complex sugars like sucrose (normal sugar)
.
Although all carbohydrates are reduced to glucose and consequently glycogen which are stored in the liver in complex metabolism reactions in the body, you cannot exactly compare these simple sugars to normal sugars.
.
And ironically, the malt we so much prefer to soda drinks contain Maltose which are complex sugars. A molecule of maltose can comparatively yield two molecules of monosaccharides in these soda drinks.
.
My point is that starch and carbohydrates like corn syrups and the foods I mentioned up there are much worse than these drinks. And although their intake should be controlled...it would be a futile endeavour if you keep supplementing them with excess starchy foods.
.
Malt is not a saviour either.

Of akpu, Amala, wheat, Garri, semo, pounded yam, poundo, etc., Which has the least sugar content.

No be sugar dey cause diabetes, Olodo.

Eating sugar (strictly speaking) does not directly cause diabetes. It does not cause type 1 diabetes . It does not cause type 2 diabetes. It does not cause gestational diabetes . It does not cause LADA or MODY or any other type of diabetes.
You cannot eat too many candy bars and make your way to a diabetes diagnosis instantly. No matter how many jokes and myths and stigmas abound, sugar does not directly cause diabetes.
https://diabetesstrong.com/does-eating-sugar-cause-diabetes/

The exact cause of diabetes is not known, however, Sugar is a key play in the development of the disease. 500 million people are currently living with diabetes around the world, that should indicate to you that our paradigm shift from protein to carbohydrate foods should be greatly considered. People who consume more sugar are more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes.

The relationship between Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Gestational diabetes is the bodies inability to produce enough insulin, or that the body cells reject insulin. Resulting in excess blood sugar. The high blood sugar is what starts to do damage to body cells-begining with destruction of nervous tissue in lower parts of the body where the rate of blood flow is reduced.

That said, diabetes is caused by a combo of mechanisms, environmental, genetics, and lifestyle.

While this

is true, it is still bad advice, given the correlations between sugar intake and diabetes.

I exercise a lot so no fear.

This thread means nothing to the average Nigerian. Many of us consume water majorly. Soft drinks are at most three times a week. Go outside the country and see people consumingthese things with every meal. Their water tastes boring and cold, the only reason you’ll drink it heavily is if you’re into sports. To even hydrate daily I had to mix two litres with Ribena.

The highlighted ... go outside the country to which countries? The US ... source of these sodas ... people are moving away from sodas ... the reason sodas are selling cheaper and cheaper... water getting more expensive..... Gatorade cheaper... coconut water expensive and not even pure coconut water.... people are now checking what they are putting into their bodies.
Nice list ... surprised cereals not listed... they are also packed with sugar but we eat it with pride ... feeling that we are above the others who can it afford it. Energy drinks should be there.... they are overladen with sugar.
