I doubt it. Denmark has high standards regarding food laws, and a policy of not accepting political interference. It has banned other products that are readily available in the western world. It has banned Red Bull, most common pesticides, amalgam in dentistry, water fluoridation, many supplements, etc., etc. Denmark is probably less politically influenced than most western countries. It seems (unusually) to put its people first, ahead of profits for the private sector. Other countries could learn from it. Regards David |

The REASON they were rejected is because they had high levels of
VITAMINS added, and Denmark's food agency doesn't believe in added vitamins.

try learning how to read, they were banned because of too many added VITAMINS, not sugar or salt. jren57 wrote: > "Ted Rosenberg" > wrote in message > ... > >>The REASON they were rejected is because they had high levels of >>VITAMINS added, and Denmark's food agency doesn't believe in added > > vitamins. > > The real problem with Kellogg's cereals are the high levels of sugar and > salt added, and that applies to Heinz products as well! > > -- "...in addition to being foreign territory the past is, as history, a hall of mirrors that reflect the needs of souls observing from the present" Glen Cook |

Instead of simply crossposting some half baked comment, it would have
been helpful to bother to check the FACTS first, and find out that the reason they are banned is because Denmark, like many other countries, is getting concerned that people, particularly children, are taking to many vitimines, and that they are BAD for them.

I'm up at this hour 0342 because I can't sleep. I came into the office and took my blood sugar. To my amazement, it was 73!

I just don't understand why it is dropping instead of rising after eating all of that highly sweetened cereal about 12 hours ago. The only other thing I have eaten today is a big plate of mixed vegetables? Am I on to something good here? Or do I have some other problem? If all it takes to keep my blood sugar low is to eat a big bowl of cereal with refined sugar, I think I can handle that. :-) What gives here?

It sounds like you are experiencing a reactive low blood sugar. This is not
good. Your blood sugar probably surged very high and then over time secreted a large amount of insulin which brought the blood sugar down again. Typically this will happen for a while, then it will stop--because your beta cells have lost their ability to make any more insulin. At that point you'll just go high and stay there longer and longer. I experienced the same thing when I was younger. Now I don't go low no matter what I eat but I sure can go high. But the important thing to note is that this reactive swing means your beta cells still can make insulin. Why not take a load off them by cutting way back on the carbs now, so that you preserve what function you have left? That will mean you need a lot less medication later. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. Below goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.7 . Cut the carbs to respond to my email address!

I doubt seriously your reading is correct.
Whenever you get an odd reading take two more readings and see what you get My BG read 295 last night, my next two readings (taken immediately) were 95 and 104. I ignored the high reading Actual is obviously in the 90-110 range Schuyler Colfax wrote: > In article >, aspen3 > @freeuk.com says... > >>On Thu, 12 Aug 2004 12:27:55 -0400, "Peanutjake" > wrote: >> >> >>>"Pete" > wrote in message ... >>> >>>>On Wed, 11 Aug 2004 13:10:55 -0400, "Peanutjake" > wrote: >> >>>>>Danish health authorities ban some Kellogg products, saying they could harm children >>>> >>>>Why you x poast this shit? >> >>>Because it may be important news to the readers of four diabetic newsgroups. >> >>What is so important about it? >> >> >> >>>It is not off topic. >> >>I never said it was >> >> >>>It is not spam. >> >>I never said it was >> >> >>>PJ >> >> >> > This is really strange folks.

I doubt seriously your reading is correct.

To see what a specific meal or food does to you, test at one and two hours after eating, not half a day later.

font problems - I am now assuming that you are posting "73" followed by
an exclamation point, not "731" The reading STILL may be wrong, asnd should have been chcked. Also remember that a reading of 73, WITHOUT a major problem means between 59 and 91. going from 71 to 78 is NOT "rising".

Nor would I have EVER added real sugar to it, should I have lost my mind and decided on cereal for brekkie. 389 indeed. No offense again, but you brought that on yourself. I assume you're T2.

I haven't had anything to eat or drink since that scary reading I got around 1800 or so. 2345 CDT I took my blood sugar just now and to my amazement, it is "99!" It has dropped nearly three hundred points in 5.5 hours with no medication of any sort. My blood is flowing like water! Very thin. I bled all over my clothes when I stuck my middle finger on my left hand. I'm going to take it one more time now to be sure-------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------Ahhhhhhhhhh This time it said "106" Now I have also lost about 25 pounds in the last three months. Could that be a factor in my body suddenly seeming to be able to handle sugar again? In any case, I won't press my luck. I'm going back to just using artificial sweeteners. I may be on to something good here after all. It must something in certain cereals that brings it down. I'm going to do a search on Copernic and see what I find. Anyway, I feel good! :-)2358 CDT Spater |
