Stop drinking soda, trust me

I don't have diabetes but I have what you can consider pre while also needed to be monitored closely. I had a glucose monitor sample for 2 weeks and I can track how my sugar is throughout the day. I stopped soda in the beginning of April and the results are amazing. My sugar levels improved dramatically, I sleep better and I loss weight. I met my endocrinologist on Monday and thankfully she told me I didn't need any medication since everything has been improving. I've had times I stopped but for the last few months I drank almost once a day. I stopped cold turkey and it's brought great results. Just drink water, you will be fine. Obviously stuff like junk food and sweets are bad but soda you should stop drinking.

I hope your thread encourages others.

🙋 it has.
I'll consider this a sign, or a confirmation.
I was just thinking about this very thing last night.
I've cut it out cold turkey before, and the longest I have gone without has been 32 days.
I do notice a difference just from cutting that out, and it's time to do it again.

Excellent!
I love how God does that in perfect timing.

Something I suggest in consultations is to replace the craving for carbonated beverages with something healthy, yet tastes better.
That's the positive incentive.

Keep up the good work. By God's grace may you continue to overcome.
🍵🙂👍

Here's a documentary that I was reminded of. ll
A good friend thought that a better option to high fructose corn syrup, which contains high levels of Mercury, would be diet soda pop.
He has severe type 2, unhealed wounds and cognitive issues. Diet drinks are no better.
They are marketed as the healthy alternatives. Once we learn that every ingredient is toxic, it helps with the temptations when we go to the store.
Perhaps others will benefit from this.

Way more than just sodas,,,they use HFCS in all sorts of products because although it is not a narcotic that gives a high it is still is more addictive than cocaine to your body,(brain). It's that snackie feeling you get even though you just ate or drank something,,but it didn't hit the spot so you keep looking for something else to snack on...

Honeybees convert nectar(sugars) into honey,royal nectar,bee bread ect. ,,,,That's God's natural sugars though... On the other hand man made HFCS and the bees harvest the sugars from the soda cans and end up with CCD,,,hmm the stuff kills both man and insects, must be really bad stuff ... https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smar...nsible-for-bees-collapsing-colonies-46859095/

That's for sure.
I have spent a lot of time hoping to find plain ingredients reading hundreds of labels of processed foods. That hfcs is a very damaging ingredient that we can do without. That narrows the shopping list to other options.

There are a lot of bee keepers who feed the cheap corn syrup to their colonies.
That would cause health issues with them as well as with people who feed on much of it.
I know a famous entomologist who discovered a non synthetic way to kill the honey bee mites.
Next time I see him I'll try to remember to ask him what he thinks of this article. I have to say that it makes sense to me.
I think the mites are a symptom rather than the sole cause.

This is a very serious problem in health care too. They tube feed the malnourished sick, immunocompromised patients in the hospitals ingredients like this and add a dozen drugs to modulate the symptoms.
That makes the hospitals fortunes in man hours charges, drugs and equipment used before they often kill the people who went to them for help. God's people are way too dependent upon the Godless systems of this world. They were established and continue for the love of money, which is the root of all evil.

I wish I knew how to deal with varroa mites here in Texas without treatments,,,,lol

Are you a bee keeper?

not this year,lol.. I had two hives that made it through last winter but were so small they could not make it even after combining them. I'm not planning on keeping them anymore unless I just catch a swarm. In southeast Texas there's the climate change issue most don't believe in,, (but the bees sure do,lol)... One of my neighbors is about a mile from me and has about 50 hives but he has to feed them all summer in the droughts so the honey is not true honey(sugar water). Over the last 15 or so years we may be in a drought year after year and then the la nina years come and it rains way too much(were about 20 inches above ARF already) and so V-mites,S.H. beetles and wax moths come out of the woodwork. Anyway very large population hives that are using medications and being fed seem ok but as for me just having a few backyard hives I don't see doing it anymore for a 2 frame,5 frame and 2 ten frame hive set up.

there are sparkling waters that are bubbly, flavored, inexpensive and best of all, not poison!
