Whew! Love my coffee,..

Coffee is the greatest source of antioxidants for Americans. The chlorogenic acid in coffee gets converted to caffeic acid and ferulic acid in the body both of which can activate the longevity enzyme AMPK. Ferulic acid is also one of the most potent antioxidants. Just 1 more reason for me to have my cup of joe each day. 😊 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1628603798/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Ah yes, true.

Artificial sweeteners actually trick your metabolism into thinking sugar is on its way. This causes your body to pump out insulin, the fat storage hormone, which lays down more belly fat, leaving you hungrier and craving even more sugar and starchy carbs like bread and pasta.

In a study of heart disease, people who consumed diet drinks every day had a greater risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Artificial sweeteners have proven to be carcinogenic in animal studies. They wreak havoc on your gut microbes, destroying beneficial bacteria and causing glucose intolerance.

Something that tastes sweet but contains zero calories may sound like the perfect cure for sugar addiction. But it’s not, and here’s why. Normally, when you eat or drink something sweet, it’s accompanied by lots of calories. But not when you consume artificial sweeteners. This confuses your brain. It senses that the taste of sugar without the accompanying calories from glucose and fructose is wrong, and it tries to correct the imbalance by making you hungrier.

Not only that, but it also confuses and slows your metabolism down, so you burn less calories every day.

Bottom line: There is no free ride. Diet drinks are not good substitutes for sugar-sweetened drinks. They still (or even more) increase cravings, weight gain, and type 2 diabetes. And they are addictive.

Great article. I'm still amazed at how many people don't realise that diabetes is reversable with diet.

If the ketogenic diet can reverse diabetes, why isn’t your doctor recommending it?

Interesting the interplay between insulin and the amyloid plaques that form in the brain,.. please read!

A high-carb diet, and the attendant high blood sugar, are associated with cognitive decline.
