It can be! Every year the local community near where I live host a bicycle
race in August, called the "Hotter than Hell 100". My guess is that most of
the participants would perish if they didn't load up on starches, sugar and
fluids. Brown sugar metabolizes differently than white sugar and if your
that concerned substitute honey, nutri sweet or whatever you prefer.

Nonsense, sugar is sugar, you just go ahead and keep stuffing it down and
watch your feet fall off from diabetes.

Most brown sugar today is NOT brown sugar! It is white sugar sprayed
with a coating of caramelized white sugar.

While I will agree that diet can be a contributing factor in the
development of type 2 diabetes, I believe that there are more
tactful ways of advising people to watch their sugar intake than the
one you used. Many people who develop type 2 are obese, but that is
not the only factor, and scientists are still trying to pin down all
the reasons people get it. In my case, there was a genetic
predisposition for the development of type 2 - my father, my
grandmother, and one uncle developed diabetes later in life. I also
have chronic lung disease, which unfortunately required me to be on
corticosteroids for over thirty years. (I thank the developers of
Advair for finally making me prednisone-free!) While steroids
helped my breathing, they also weakened my bones, made me gain
weight, and raised my blood glucose levels. Being unable to breathe
made it difficult to be active, also adding to weight gain. High
blood pressure and high cholesterol are also contributors to the
development of type 2 - and both run in my family - again the
genetic predisposition.

Dessert was not on the dinner table every night when I was growing
up, nor was I given permission to chase the ice cream truck down the
street every day, so when people tried to accuse my mother of
"stuffing me with sugar" when I was a child, thus causing me to
develop diabetes, they were dead wrong.

Yes, the increased numbers of overweight children and adults, and
the sedentary lifestyle that usually accompanies it will cause more
and more people to develop this disease - it IS being called an
epidemic.

As far as overeating is concerned, that's a huge problem for many
people. If I order a pasta meal at a restaurant, I will also ask
for a takeout container, because my plate will generally have enough
for three full meals on it. Thanks to carbohydrate counting classes,
I can look at the meal and estimate how much I should eat. If my
blood glucose is good three hours after that meal, I know I did it
right! Unfortunately, most people will finish that plate, whether
they are a six foot tall man, or a five foot tall woman, or a ten
year old child!

Let's educate people, and not attack them. You'll get better
results that way. I met a young woman at a restaurant recently who
was totally lost as to how or what to eat. She had just been
diagnosed with pre-diabetes, but had been given no guidance. I
pulled out a card from the local branch of the Joslin Diabetes
Center and explained about all the classes available for her to
take, and the type of help she could expect from them.
Good health to you!!

At the risk of starting a fire storm here, there is a brown sugar
substitute, or if you aren't really into the brown sugar flavor, you can use
Equal or the sugar substitute you prefer.

A lot depends on what you do, whether you sit on a couch all day watching
soap operas or tend a backyard flower and vegetable garden. People need to
burn sugar and starches to remain healthy if they are active. The problem
is many people do absolutely nothing before, during or after eating sugar,
however that doesn't render sugar unhealthy, harmful or evil.
I have dangerously low cholesterol levels and have had numerous doctors tell
me to eat more eggs, oils, salmon etc. I'd probably be dead by now if I
listened to health nut's trying to convince me cholesterol isn't healthy.

My problem with the recipe, is it would be better with wild strawberries.
Unfortunately you can't purchase them anywhere and domesticated strawberries
are breed for size not taste. If you were to spend 2 hours in the morning
sun picking 2 pints of wild strawberries in a horse pasture with an eastern
slope this would be the fabulous result of your efforts. Although, I'd
probably not use them in any health drink and build a strawberry shortcake
instead.

I tried growing alpine strawberries, which are tiny little things,
but the flavor was unbelievable. Unfortunately, now I live in an
apartment where my "garden" space is about the size of the top of my
desk! The strawberry crop here in southeastern Connecticut was not
very good in '05 due to weather conditions, and when I bought some
from a local berry farm they apologized because the berries were so
small. They may have been, but the flavor was SO intense! Lovely
things.

People probably wouldn't add sugar to strawberries if they weren't
genetically engineered and breed for size instead of taste. Horticulturist
took the tiny, naturally sweet wild strawberry and turned it into a huge,
sour fruit.
Take 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
pinch of salt
pinch of thyme
Boil till sugar dissolves, thus creating a flavored simple syrup, then pour
over a quart of cored, sliced genetically breed strawberries. The result is
close to what wild strawberries taste like.
