What is best for keeping low blood sugar, and what is best for lowering blood preasure?3
Im not diabetic, but i can see if i keep eating this way, i will very very soon become diabetic……
so what is best for keeping a low blood sugar?
and what is best for lowering blood presure?
I want scientific studies confirming your answers please…… ![]()
Would you be surprised to learn that the answer is pretty much the same for both conditions? I like videos as a learning method, so I’ll suggest a couple that I think are excellent.
Dr Richard Johnson, University of Colorado, talks about his study linking high uric acid to high blood pressure. The dietary links are fructose, red meat and alcohol, and other high purine foods such as beans and lintals.
He found a direct correlation between uric acid concentration and blood pressure.

Dr Robert Ludsig, University of California at San Francisco, has an excellent video discussing what he calls the epidemic of obesity, fatty liver disease and diabetes. He blames the dramatic increase in sugar consumption over the past thirty years, or so. He shows how the liver metabolizes fructose and alcohol exactly the same, with an end product of uric acid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM
At the University of California at Davis Researchers put 16 volunteers on a controlled diet, supplemented with either fructose (derived from corn) or glucose. After 10 weeks, both groups of participants had gained equal amounts of weight. Participants in the fructose group, however, showed an increase of fat cells around major organs including their hearts and livers, and also underwent metabolic changes that are precursors to heart disease and diabetes.
"This is the first evidence we have that fructose increases diabetes and heart disease independently from causing simple weight gain," lead researcher Kimber Stanhope said. "We didn’t see any of these changes in the people eating glucose."
