1. 3 Of The MOST Dangerous Foods
For Diabetics
©bloodsugarblueprint.com 2012

2. Choosing the right foods when you are
diabetic is often an ongoing struggle.

3. You have to think about “How will this
affect my blood sugar level?”
“How much of this can I have?”
“Is this good for me?”
Along with many other questions that
come to mind...

4. You probably already know that refined,
processed carbohydrates are not great
choices of foods to pick when you are
planning a meal/snack.

5. Today we want to take some of the
guesswork out of your diabetic diet.

6. We are going to focus on the 3
of the most dangerous foods for
diabetics.

7. These foods not only cause your blood
sugar levels to rise but a result in
plethora of health problems if consumed
for a long period of time...

8. #1 Fruit

9. A lot of fruit that are produced nowadays
are larger and sweeter than in the past
(new farming methods and fertilizers) due
to the large global demand of our ever-
growing population

10. As a result the concentration of
fructose in these fruits is higher than
fruits in the wild.

11. Fructose is a monosaccharide, aka
simple sugar. It is processed
differently than other sugars.

12. Fructose is processed in the liver and
then converted to very low-density
lipoprotein (VLDL), which contains high
amounts of triglycerides and cholesterol.

13. Having a high VLDL level means you
may have an increased risk of
coronary artery disease, which can
lead to a heart attack.

14. Higher amounts and large VLDL
particles are also associated with an
increased risk of high blood
pressure and stroke.

15. Along with increased VLDL production,
fructose can lead to
inflammation, insulin resistance, high
blood pressure, abdominal obesity,
oxidative stress, renal damage,
and increased production of uric acid
(gout).

16. It also contributes to fatty
deposits on the liver similar to
effects of alcohol.

17. Let me stress, eating SMALL amounts of
whole fruits is perfectly fine if you are
diabetic (2-3s servings a week),
the best fruits are small berries and
coconut due to their high antioxidant,
nutrient, and bioflavonoid content.

18. But you MUST avoid any products
that contain High-Fructose Corn Syrup

19. #2 Dairy

20. Pasteurized milk products (majority of
products in grocery stores) have caused
more health problems than we humans care
to think about.

21. In fact, pasteurized milk products are the
#1 allergic food in the U.S.

22. Today’s cow’s milk contains
50-60 plus hormones, along with allergens,
pain killer drugs, and antibiotics.

23. Valuable enzymes, vitamins
(A, C, B6, B12), and amino acids are
destroyed.

24. Also, that vitamin D that you “need”
from milk is a synthetic replacement
(known to be toxic to the liver), an
additive.

25. Remember all those commercials promoting
milk for weight loss?
Well, the truth is: the sugar found in milk,
lactose actually promotes the body to
store fat.

26. Here is a list of other related health issues
associated with dairy products:
• Diarrhea, Cramps, Bloating
• Gastrointestinal bleeding
• Respiratory congestion
• Heart disease
• Ear infections in children
• Breast, prostate and colon cancer
• Impaired immune system
• Autoimmune disease
• Neurological impairment (autism and
schizophrenia)

27. Alternatives, you may be thinking?
Almond & coconut milk are good choices.
They contain higher amounts of vitamin D and
calcium than cow’s milk.

28. You can also get vitamin D and calcium from
plant sources like dark leafy greens and
spinach, broccoli, and wild salmon.

29. Another option is raw milk, which has gained
popularity over the years. It contains all the
vitamins, enzymes and nutrients that are
eliminated during the pasteurization process
in regular cow’s milk.

30. I know you might be thinking,
“Isn’t raw milk dangerous?”
The fact is there have been 116 cases of food
illness linked to raw milk from 1996-2006,
which is a tiny fraction of the 76 million cases
of food-borne illness each year in the U.S.

31. #3 Diet Soda

32. Just because the word “diet” is in front of
soda doesn’t mean it is healthy for you.
Not only do diet sodas hurt your waistline,
they are linked to major health problems.

33. In fact, consuming diet soda can actually
lead to weight gain.
A 2005 University of Texas Health Science
Center study found a 57.1% risk of obesity
for those drinking more than two daily
servings of diet pop.

34. Aspartame, which is commonly found in
most diet beverages, can raise blood sugar
levels.
Another study found that daily diet soda was
linked to a 44-percent higher chance of heart
attack or stroke.

35. A 2009 Nurses' Health Study of 3,256
women found a 30% drop in level of kidney
function for participants who drank 2 or more
servings of diet pop daily.

36. Other studies with sucralose (aka Splenda)
found in Coke Zero, Pepsi One, and Diet
Coke, show a decrease in healthy gut bacteria
and increased risk of
gastrointestinal ulcers.

37. This can also lead to malabsorption of
nutrients and medications, which can lead to
a whole new set of problems.

38. Here is a list of other associated problems
with diet sodas:
• Increased appetite
• Irritation of eyes, nose, mouth, throat
• Respiratory distress
• Gastrointestinal tract issues-diarrhea,
cramping, ulcers, bleeding
• Renal damage
• Neurological problems- vertigo, seizures,
brain damage, ADD/ADHD, headaches

39. Some of this information may come
as a shock to you but all of it is fact.

40. Avoiding these foods will not only allow you to
manage your diabetes better and improve
your health, but also reduce the risk of other
health problems.
