What kind of rice should a diabetic eat and why?

Firstly, it’s important to understand that all types of rice have a similar carbohydrate content, which can raise blood sugar levels. However, some varieties are healthier and more beneficial for people with diabetes.

Brown rice, also known as whole-grain rice, is a great option for diabetics. This type of rice has a lower glycemic index (GI) compared to white rice, which means it won’t spike your blood sugar levels as much. Brown rice also contains more fiber and essential nutrients like magnesium, which can help with blood sugar control and reduce the risk of heart disease, a common complication of diabetes.

Alternatively, Jasmine and basmati rice, known for their fragrant and aromatic flavors, are also good options for diabetics. These types of rice have a lower GI than white rice and are less processed, meaning they retain more of their natural fiber and nutrients. Plus, their distinct flavor can add a delicious twist to your meals.

On the other hand, white rice is highly processed and stripped of its fiber and nutrients, resulting in a higher GI. This can cause a quick spike in blood sugar levels and put strain on the body’s insulin response. Therefore, it’s best to limit or avoid white rice if you have diabetes.

But what about other types of rice, like wild rice or black rice? These varieties may be less commonly consumed, but they are packed with health benefits for diabetics. Wild rice contains more protein and fiber than other types of rice, making it a great option for stabilizing blood sugar levels. Meanwhile, black rice, also known as forbidden rice, is rich in antioxidants and has a low GI, making it a great addition to a diabetic-friendly diet.

The key to incorporating rice into a diabetic diet is portion control. While brown, Jasmine, and basmati rice are healthier options, they still contain carbohydrates that can raise blood sugar levels. It’s essential to measure out the recommended serving size, which is approximately ⅓ to ½ cup cooked rice per meal, to avoid any blood sugar spikes.

Adding vegetables, protein, and healthy fats to your rice dish can also help balance out the carbohydrates and slow down the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. This can help keep your blood sugar levels in check and provide a more balanced and nutritious meal.

American Diabetes Association trying to normalize fatness with new recommendation that obese diabetics eat more PROCESSED SUGAR

One of the latest pieces of bizarre “fat acceptance” propaganda to come from the establishment is a “sweet and sour cucumbers” recipe from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) that encourages diabetics to add a whopping 60 grams of processed sugar to their pre-fermented cukes.

Calling those who run the ADA “sadistic biomedical profiteers,” Armageddon Prose‘s Ben Bartee says the recipe is “damn near criminal” in that it advises diabetics to consume the opposite of what they should be eating for their condition.

“Diabetics should all, without exception, in perpetuity until their metabolic dysfunction is resolved and insulin sensitivity restored, be on either ketogenic or extremely low-carb diets,” Bartee writes.

“To the metabolically compromised, sugar is poison, and all the more so when it’s processed and unfiltered through fiber.”

If the ADA were in the business of actually curing diabetes, it would provide helpful information about how to reverse it through diet and self-discipline. Instead, the organization is pushing sugar on diabetics, which is a death sentence.

“But then, if diabetics suddenly discovered their own power to heal themselves, the executives over at the ADA who make a killing off of the proliferation of disease might be forced to do an honest day’s work,” Bartee says. “And that they would never abide.”

“Fat acceptance” driving pro-sugar insanity at ADA

To advise against sugar intake on the basis of the metabolic damage it causes, as well as weight gain, would be “fatphobic,” which is probably why the ADA is pushing loads of sugar on diabetics.

Consider a recent “FatCon” event where large people gathered to emotionally support one another in some kind of quest for self-acceptance. The types of people who attend FatCon want to be told that being fat is beautiful and normal, and that their bodies are still healthy.

The ADA seems to have embraced that same sentiment, or at least the organization does not believe that diabetics need to change their diet in any way to see their disease subside.

Another thing to consider is the fact that the new ADA recommendation that diabetics consume more sugar was paid for by a company that profits from treating kidney patients at its vast network of kidney centers.

“This dubious recommendation for diabetics to eat sugar was paid for by DaVita Corp which runs kidney centers,” tweeted Dr. Robert Lufkin, M.D. “The leading cause of renal failure is … diabetes.”

In the comments, someone wrote that he stopped eating processed sugar years ago, and has not consumed even a speck of fast food since 1994.

“Nothing from a ‘factory’ based box or bag,” this person added. “No weight or health problems at all.”

Another wrote that the ADA’s sweet-and-sour cucumbers recipe is no surprise because the Alzheimer’s Association does the very same type of thing by recommending that dementia patients consume seeds oils, which are highly inflammatory and toxic by nature.

“It’s not about health and never has been,” this person added. “It’s about keeping folks on the Big Pharma and Big Medicine train until the state gets its windfall from burial and estate taxes. We are but commodities to our government overlords.”

Someone else stressed that a big part of the globalist agenda right now is to divide everyone up into little “special communities” with the hope that doing this will herd everyone into supporting one of the two main political parties, which are technically a uni-party in disguise.

Obese, diabetic? Watch your bones

Obesity and Type-2 diabetes affect bone structure, formation and strength over time, thereby increasing bone fracture risk, says a new study.

The researchers also found that exercise can not only prevent weight gain and diabetes but also increase bone strength. “Researchers once thought obesity was protective of bone because with more body mass, individuals have more bone mass; more bone mass typically decreases risk of osteoporosis and associated fractures,” said Pam Hinton, Associate Professor at the University of Missouri in the U.S.

“What we have come to realise is that the bone of people with obesity and Type-2 diabetes is not good, quality bone. These individuals have an increased risk of fractures; so that extra body weight is not protective,” he said.

For the study, the researchers allowed one group of rats to overeat and voluntarily exercise on running wheels. Another group of rats programmed to overeat remained sedentary.

The researchers also had a control group of rats that remained sedentary but did not overeat.

They studied bones from rats in the three groups at different ages to determine how early in the development of obesity and diabetes the bone was affected negatively.

“As the rats continued to grow, all groups increased their bone mass, but the rats that were obese and sedentary did not accumulate as much bone mass relative to their body weight,” Professor Hinton said.

“So, decreased bone formation, loss of bone mass and decreased bone strength all were present in the obese, diabetic, sedentary rats. However, the rats that exercised did not lose bone strength. In fact, the rats that ran on the wheels had stronger bones than the normal-weight controls,” he said.

The animals in the exercise group did not develop the same insulin resistance and diabetes.

Smoking cigarettes or breathing in second-hand tobacco smoke significantly increases the risk of Type-2 diabetes, warns a new study.

While current smokers are at around 37 percent increased risk of developing Type-2 diabetes, passive smoking or breathing in second-hand smoke could raise the odds by as much as 22 percent, the findings showed.

The researchers estimated that 11.7 percent of cases of Type-2 diabetes in men and 2.4 percent in women (about 27.8 million cases in total worldwide) may be attributable to active smoking.

They also found that risk decreases as time elapses after smokers quit.

“Cigarette smoking should be considered as a key modifiable risk factor for diabetes. Public health efforts to reduce smoking will have a substantial impact on the global burden of type 2 diabetes,” said study co-author Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, US.

In this study, the researchers conducted an analysis of 88 previous studies on the association between smoking and Type-2 diabetes risk, looking at health data from nearly six million study participants.

They found that when compared with people who never smoked, current smoking increased the risk of Type-2 diabetes by 37 percent, former smoking by 14 percent and passive smoking (breathing in second-hand smoke) by 22 percent.

Among current smokers, the amount smoked made a difference. The increased risk of developing Type-2 diabetes was 21 percent, 34 percent, and 57 percent for light, moderate, and heavy smokers, respectively.
