  • Features White Flour and Are at High Risk for Dia- Betes
    10 Wednesday 27th October, 2010 The Island Features white flour and are at high risk for dia- betes. If you can't handle the taste of natural garlic, you can take it in widely available supplements. Aloe vera [Komarika] is also a traditional diabetic remedy in the Unani system of Arabian medicine, and its thera- peutic characteristics are now gaining worldwide acceptance in the treatment of diabetes. According to both human and animal research studies, aloe vera lowers blood glucose levels by a mechanism that’s still unclear to researchers. According to the Clinicians Handbook of Natural Healing, this natural hypoglycemic effect extends to over a period of 24 hours. Adding onions to your diet (along with gar- lic and cinnamon) can also significantly reduce your blood sugar level. Additionally, according to the book: The Healing Power of Herbs, studies have demonstrated that ginseng controls blood glucose in both dia- betic humans and diabetic laboratory ani- mals. It all comes down to asking if putting yourself at risk for diabetic coma, blind- ness, limb amputation and death is it worth eating white bread. If you're willing to risk your quality-of-life and your life itself, then go ahead and eat all the foods made with refined white flour you want. However, if you want to stop poisoning yourself with alloxan, a known toxic chem- ical, then make a few simple dietary changes. Eat groceries made with whole- grain wheat flour and other acceptable and more nutritious substitutes, not processed wheat (white) flour. What you have read so far are the unvar- nished facts about the effects of eating refined wheat (white) flour products, the most common and widespread of which is bread.
