![]() I am not a doctor nor am I a nutritionist, I am a person who has diabetes on both sides of his family and has had to deal with understanding what's in his food. Your individual make up may make you more prone to issues with insulin responses (say a regular person versus a diabetic).Ī huge spike in blood sugar is not good where a small increase in blood sugar over time may have less over all impact. The labels on the food are not 100% accurate. If you look at calories as a simplistic statistic then yes, if you hit your marcos you are going to do fine, however our bodies are: This is because you aren't slowing the metabolization of the sugar with fiber (as in the sucrose/fructose found in fruits and vegetables) that sugar normally comes with it in non-refined form. Sugar, on the other hand, can be bad as it can cause inflammation, will burn very fast, and will spike your insulin levels which will eventually lead to you feeling burned out and hungrier later in the day. A 90% cocoa bar will have a lower insulin response than a 30% cocoa milk chocolate bar.įat is not bad and can keep you feeling fuller longer since fats metabolize slowly compared to carbohydrates, the kicker here is you want a good source of fat, ie nothing too processed (soy oil, vegetable oil, etc). So chocolates have a bunch of fat and sugar in them and the quality/quantity of fat (vegetable versus cocoa) and the amount of sugar in the chocolate will determine its over all impact. Unhealthy versus healthy food is a bit simplistic as you are really looking at what is in the food. Mmm there is thought but for the most part we have not yet found any evidence for this. Its not digested as fast and provides a constant source of energy that enters the body(why fat is known to suppress appetite).Īctually most satiety trials find that carbohydrates and fat cause about the same amount of satiety.Īlso there is thought that the nutrition (vitamins, minerals, etc.) you receive from healthy food lowers hunger also because your body is getting what it needs. This differs from sugar(sucrose=fructose+glucose) because fat is a long chain while sugar is disaccharide. Quite a few amino acids are unable to be turned into sugar as well. ![]() You have no clue what you are talking about do you? Fatty acids are never turned into sugar. It takes bile and time to turn it into glucose. For fat it takes a long time for your digestive system to breaking it down. Your body is actually resistant to turn protein into glucose. Protein and fats take longer to be broken down into glucose. It doesn't actually remove a little too much glucose unless there is something wrong with you. This is because your body released a lot of insulin to store all of that sugar(glucose) and now removed a little too much glucose from you blood.īlood glucose is one of the most tightly regulated systems in your body. This is because is goes straight into your blood and into energy use or storage(why you are hungry after eating sweets) another downside that contributes to this is the fact that it is very likely you will get a low blood sugar level after this big amount of sugar. It’s gross, but that’s about it.Sugar is the worse culprit at lowering you hunger. But a tiny crunchy bit of exoskeleton the size of the point of a pin, you might never even notice. A fully intact leg of a cockroach is definitely something that should be eliminated during quality control, and you have every right to complain if you find one. The USFDA even explicitly permits bugs in your food, provided it’s not in excess of 60 insect fragments per 100 grams… though these fragments are usually too small to see except under magnification. No-see-ums and other fruit flies are big culprits, but even things like bug parts might roll into processed foods. ![]() You are likely to eat a few thousand bug fragments per year in most of your food as it is. Like, buying-a-box-of-Screechin’-Beetles quantities: + There are very few varieties of bugs that are poisonous to humans, and most of them are only poisonous in “that’s way too many goddamned beetles” quantities. ![]() Insects themselves are generally safe to eat - if anything, they’re quite nutritious. ![]() It’s likely that you’ve eaten the bugs themselves. The basic food safety rule still always applies, of course: if in doubt, throw it out. If I had a heavily infested piece of food I’d sooner throw it out, just like I would if I found an insect leg in that chocolate, but it ought to be perfectly safe. Since I’m noticing a running theme here, insect droppings are generally so minute in quantity that they won’t be enough to be harmful. ![]()
