Soda Warning? High-fructose Corn Syrup Linked To Diabetes, New Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (Aug. 23, 2007) — Researchers have found new evidence that soft drinks sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) may contribute to the development of diabetes, particularly in children. In a laboratory study of commonly consumed carbonated beverages, the scientists found that drinks containing the syrup had high levels of reactive compounds that have been shown by others to have the potential to trigger cell and tissue damage that could cause the disease, which is at epidemic

Answer 1

The short answer is "We shouldn't." You can give out small toys, temporary tattoos, etc., instead.

Here's the other answer:

Corn syrup, in large quantities, has been LINKED to diabetes and obesity--it's not "If you eat this, you'll get diabetes and/or get fat," but "If you eat too much of this and don't exercise you'll gain weight and possibly develop diabetes as a result."

Most parents that I know will monitor their children's intake of sweets and candy. I know my own mother would put all of my and my sisters' Halloween loot into one large bowl and we were allowed two pieces per day. With my own son, I put the candy in an inaccessible location and dole it out as I see fit--usually a piece every few days or so. Parents have a responsibility to make sure their children eat properly. As a responsible adult, you can make the choice to not give out candy at all, but you can't force other adults to do the same.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 6

It is only one day a year but many people to give out money instead.
As far as Corn Syrup causing diabetes and obesity, I will give you a link about that so that those who deny that are wrong.
Worse than that though, the book Sugar Blues list many different things that can be cause by excess sugar consumption including some mental conditions and anyone who reads the book and looks into his sources will certainly try to stop using as much sugar, which will help with health problems.

Answer 7

Candy in and of itself is not a cause for diabetes.

It can however contribute to risk factors such as obesity and elevated blood glucose that over a period of time can evolve into diabetes. Again this is a condition that takes a a period of time and halloween candy isnt going to cause it.

However, I do believe some action against obesity and diabetes is necessary. Cutting down on candy is certainly a start. Personally I feel like sodas high in sugar like Mountain Dew are definite no-nos. Secondly I feel like parents need to be responsible for feeding thier kids healthier foods and making sure they exercise so they dont become overwieght.

Answer 8

Diabetes is a disease of the pancreas, which is supposed to create insulin to counter act the glucose in our blood stream. It has nothing to do with eating candy unless you already have the disease. Too much candy will cause cavities and overweight problems but if the parents control their kids intake of the candy it shouldn't be a problem. Kids get a lot of candy a few times a year-Easter, Halloween, and Christmas. That isn't enough to harm normal healthy kids

Answer 9

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/5yEBx
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.
