For Hypoglycemics sugar is the number one food that must be reduced at all costs. After all the name for Type II Diabetes before it was changed should give you a clue as to where diabetes starts: Sugar Diabetes.
By ignoring the signs of hypoglycemia and continuing a casual attitude to refined foods, sweets and chocolates you have a real danger of developing diabetes.
Not only does sugar, especially now in the quantities that Americans eat, damage the body’s delicate balancing of blood sugar levels, but it draws off essential minerals and vitamins.
Below I have given a partial list of the different names manufacturers put on the packaging of products containing sugar. By using many different names it is confusing and difficult to add up the total amount of sugar in one product. Some people maintain this is intentional. It would pay you to memorise the various names for sugar so that when you are in the supermarket they will be familiar
Brown Rice syrup Lactose
Corn Syrup Malt dextrin
Cellulose Mannital
Galactose Sorbitol
These are just a few of the names of the many which are intemised in my e-book “The Recipe to Conquering Hypoglycemia”
Finally here is a list of food products with the equivalent teaspoonful of sugar. If the full two page list in the e-book doesn’t shock you I’m afraid nothing will.
