LOL

you should have seen what i was prescribed between 7 and 18 ( i had to give the teen ones up because they were all banned for competitive cyclists ) and the different stuff i am prescribed , now

sugar is the least of my worries

i am supposed to have a glucose tolerance test yearly , but the first one confused them so much they gave up that plan ( four years back )

BTW the hematologist couldn't work are my blood anomalies either ( he has been at that for 5 years )

but my favourite drug is still adrenaline

Guys pl

Guys please, you can completely do without sugar, let's hope the entire world's sugar is permanently reduced to less than half it is now and crystalline bagged sugar is banned from shelves.

You will thank me later.

We haven't bought sugar for at least 30 years... Can't stand sweet crap at all.

If they manufacture a shortage of salt though, then I'm going full Rambo :D

Agreed, without salt you die.

i haven't died yet , i never deliberately add salt , if it isn't already on/in it stays off , but give me sugar the every day ( nearly every way )

however i have stashed a few kilo of salt in case i need to barter in the future

maybe i should grab a few more kilo of salt in case i need to preserve some food ( for when supply gets tough )

You might not add it but you still consume it.

You are very defensive about your sugar habit, typical junky behaviour.

You don't need to justify or explain yourself to me, do what you want. I'm just giving you the hard, cold truth.

nice try , because i am no longer working i have cut down about 66% because i don't need to keep the energy up for 18 plus hours a day

i went the no added fats or salt path , ( usually refrain from added sauces and salad dressing as well )

Monsanto never sends me any Christmas cards i hope they remember their dedicated customers
 
When we talk about salt in our diet we are usually talking about sodium chloride. However there are many other metal salts that we consume without really realising it.

It's not necessarily the quantity of salt, but the balance of all of these salts., Especially, but not limited to, potassium and magnesium salts. (AKA electrolytes)

It also depends on your level of activity. In my job I sweat gallons, especially in summer. Without a substantial amount of the various salts in my diet, my body is in trouble.

Consuming fat and salt is very healthy in moderation.

Exactly, lack of salt means your cells can't work.

You can't name single compound that you can consume that does not have adverse affects if taken in excess.

I remember the girl that died at a dance party because she overdosed on water and basically exploded her cells.

i don't do much active these days , and supplement the magnesium , while high potassium causes issues to the current medications

and moderation for me , is naturally occurring in the foods i eat ( i don't go salt/fat/sugar reduced ) i have stocks to think about , i don't need to spend hours a day study nutrition ( nature made the stuff the way it did humans over the last 40,000 years worked out which food kept them alive )
 
wayneL said:
Fair enough, and like I said it is all about the balance of those electrolytes.

I'm 60 and still under horses and on the anvil everyday. I swear, even that I regularly question my life choices, it keeps me healthy (apart from frequent minor injuries). Hence my interest in not only nutrition but mineral balance etc.

electrolytes plus energy expended , when active i had to delve into the world of amino acids , my body couldn't digest enough food to cope

( i never said i hadn't abused substances , i said i avoided ILLEGAL substances , i used to call it 'chemical warfare ' )

but my health has always been a mess , right from day one ( actually before then ) , the current question is how big a mess

but i burnt the candle from both ends anyway and poured on racing fuel for months at a time , when needed

Fiery from dried chiles, tingling with Sichuan peppercorns and studded with peanuts, this kung pao tofu recipe is a vegetarian take on kung pao chicken, the classic Chinese American restaurant staple. Though variations on this dish abound, this version swaps in tofu for chicken, treating the tofu similarly. Pressing the tofu removes excess moisture, leaving more room for flavor to penetrate and giving it a denser, chewy texture. The cornstarch coating helps the tofu brown, makes it crisp and acts as a sponge for the savory, spicy, tingly sauce.
