Exposing the Fraud of Grocery Store Organic Eggs

[JanetMarie]

Growing up with good eating habits helps but while my kids got nutritious food they go through a 10+ year phase eating junk.

So true. I grew up in a household that used very little sugar, and as I got out in the world I ate junk food, but jut a few years. My daughter did the same thing, but now she is very health conscious.

Anybody with a but a passing familiarity with biology would have to question this: diabetes is basicly a disease process based on instability of blood sugar levels ........ carbs, and the sugars formed from them have the shortest path from plate (or, more likely paper cup or bag!) to cellular level ...... too much in a short time makes for wild swings in blood sugar ..... protien and fat? Not so much.


....

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people today are looking to youtube, FB, and Twitter for what should be a biology lesson ........ SMH.

As a diabetic since age ten, diabetes is when your pancreas stops working, type 1, what I have, or doesn't work as eficiently, mostly due to high weight that messes with the bodies ability to either produce insulin or to utilize it.

Without insulin no food gets converted to any form of energy, hence the severe weight lose at diagnosis for type 1.

All carbs are different and are digested and broke down at a different rate, the more refined they are the quicker they break down, protein and fats have less carbs and are broke down slowly over hours, refined carbs causes spikes in blood sugar and can make it hard to manage your diabetes.

For a type 2 diabetic, sometimes exercising, and removing process foods is all that is needed to make diabetes go away. As a type 1, I don't understand why anyone would not take that route.

I am with you Old Hen Likes Dogs. I've been diabetic since I was 10, and I've learned a lot over the years. Complex carbs are much better for anyone, diabetic or not, than are those simple carbs that the body has to do very little with before they enter the bloodstream and then get converted to fat once in the cells. A balanced diet is crucial, and eggs play an important part in protein intake. I love my eggs! I don't overdo it, but I can enjoy them two or three days a week without harm.

Type two diabetics sometimes have a difficult time accepting that they have type 2 diabetes due to their own choices. Not saying ALL type 2 diabetics got themselves into that condition, but many of them are at fault. Type I diabetics just had the unfortunate luck to be exposed to a virus or some sort of food allergy (latest thoughts on where type I diabetes comes from) and generally develop the disease at an early age. However, life is a choice and I choose to live as healthy and as "controlled" as I can!

I believe that is true. Recently there was an article about diabetes in a poultry rights magazine. The article said that we've all been lied to, and that a high carbohydrate, low protein and low fat diet can cure diabetes. Of course the article left out any mention of the diseases that occur in developing countries from eating only carbohydrates, such as marasmus and kwashiorkor, and the article listed food to eat large amounts of that have contributed to those diseases!

Hi Janet Marie,

I'd be curious to read the research methodology behind how the publisher of this article came up with this claim. As a diabetic of 44 years (Type I) who is still working, active and happy, I am highly skeptical of such a claim. If I wanted to kill myself, I'd eat like that! Carbs are important, but in moderation as the protein and fat help keep them from being absorbed so quickly into the bloodstream, thus causing glucose spikes in the blood. In fact, there are medicines (such as Victoza, Byetta) that slow food down in the digestive system and help normalize the absorption into the bloodstream. While the medicines are used primarily for Type II diabetes, they are used with type I diabetics that have insulin resistance.

Sounds like you are like me, I am always surprised to find out how little most people know about food and their bodies, us type 1 diabetics have had to know all about such things at a very young age. I am on the side of a virus as the cause due to having some weird flu before I was diagnosed.

The article is written by Laurie Endicott Thomas. Her website is http://www.thindiabetes.com. I couldn't understand her methodology, besides it being backwards. The skewed methodology may be in partnership with groups to stop any animal agriculture, since the article was in a poultry rights magazine.

I'm not diabetic, but when I eat a sweet snack, even an apple, I balance with some protein and fat.

Thanks Janet Marie! I have a background in research, so I'll check it out and see what I see. I am with you in that if it was in an animal rights magazine the data collection and reporting methods may be biased. We'll see!

I didn't mean to sound rude, @oldhenlikesdogsand @Peeps61, if I did

Type 1 and type 2 are definitely different, and that's probably why my experience with it, I'm so hard on my friend for her soda addiction, because both her and my dad had/have type 2. Dad got it from his terrible eating habits, and my friend got gestational diabetes and it stayed because she was too young to know better to take care of herself, so its hard to watch.

I have another friend with no history of diabetes in her or her husband's entire family, and her little boy was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at 1 year old, poor little guy has to have a little backpack that checks his glucose levels to be "hooked up to" while he plays, its so heart breaking for our friend not knowing what caused it. My suspicion is in the atrocious amount of sugar hidden in every manufactured food

And of course, now I'm REALLY concerned, because I have family history of diabetes, I'm old, and I'm pregnant

Needless to say, I have had to cut ALL sugar just in case

Which leads me to my eggs! I can't digest animal protein, specifically beef and pork, but I can eat all the fish and eggs I want! So, I go through at least 8 a day

Right now I changed their feed and added some goodies for the baby, some flaxseed and BOSS for omegas, and they're getting excellent scraps of homemade saurkraut, Kvass, extra wheat and sorghum in the mix, etc...

Tell me lol, where else can you get eggs made specifically for your nutrient requirements? NOT at the store

 

[JanetMarie]

Mine also get homemade sauerkraut that has fermented too long, which they love! There is a lot that goes into their food and care. I was figuring out the other day the cost per dozen and just for their food mixture, it's way more than anyone would pay.

 

[Sutremaine]

Do you need to rinse the saurkraut before feeding it? It uses salt as a preservative, after all.
