[Diabetes-talk] Recently DXED Pre-Diabetic

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Well, the medical community and FDA are always changing their minds
about what is good and what isn't. For years we were told to limit
caffeine consumption, but recently, I hear everywhere that massive
amounts of caffeine are good for you. Okay, perhaps massive is an
exaggeration, grin, but seriously, I saw one interview where multiple
cups of coffee were being recommended. Just a couple of years ago the
medical community would have admonished you for this.

So I agree with have to proceed withcaution when it comes to these
reports and not jump on bandwagons. I recall a decade ago when low-carb
diets were all the rage, and everyone was sure this was the way to lose
weight and eat in general. Now we know that a balance diet including
complex carbs is much better than low-carb or no-carb.

I think balance is key, and watching consumption amounts and what we eat
does more than following current trends.

I don't know. Frankly, I don't buy any of it. There are too many
variables to draw such conclusions IMHO. Remember also that more fiber
was supposed to lessen the risk of colon cancer but that also has been
called into question.
