I think part of the problem is that I lick them too much. Yes, I think so too. For me, I can get very dry lips if I lick them often, especially when outside (even worse if the wind is blowing). In that case I'd rather let them stay dry than trying to wet them all the time (which only makes it worse...

Oscar wrote: Normally about half of the sugars in OJ is sucrose.

Ah, I see. Hmm, then it shouldn't really make that much of a difference if we add additional sucrose through table sugar...

Not sucrose, sucrase- the enzyme which breaks apart sucrose into glucose/fructose. Sucrase deficiency is apparently very rare, but it is most likely to occur in people with genetics from arctic regions (like me). Oh, sorry, I didn't know there was such a thing called sucrase (thought you misspelled...

Wintran, so you don't feel it's necessary to have fats when eating fruits. Well, I'm sure it depends a lot on what type of fruits I eat. With the typical banana or apple I find it hard to overeat to the extent that would cause my blood sugar levels to get so high that my body needs to regulate them...

I am not fully sure what signs you are interpreting as being high blood sugar levels, but maybe it is something else? For example, I seem to feel kind of heavy headed/bloated after eating more than a small amount of sucrose... but I don't seem to have this problem with glucose, fructose, or starche...

I understand your worry about losing coherence if people keep editing their posts, but from my experience this has not been a problem at other forums (I've never seen it being abused), and it's actually helped improving the quality of the posts because it gives the users a little bit more freedom, a...

Wonderful! Thank you, Brian!

Actually, a very common setting that is used on most large phpBB forums, and that I've used on a couple of forums that I've administrated myself, is to give registered users permission to "Edit own posts". This means that registered users can only edit (not delete) posts that they have written thems...

Hi!

I wonder if it's possible for an administrator to change my username to "Wintran" (with a capital "W")? If it's not too much trouble.

Thanks!

How do you know when blood sugar is high? I mean, what are the signs, what do you feel? I'm not really that good at interpreting my blood sugar levels, and I think I could definitely use more practice and less munch foods that mess up my system. However, I have at some occasions felt a difference w...

From my personal experiences I feel that suger and fat is an important combination to be able to regulate blood sugar levels. If I ingest easily digested sugars such as honey, I notice a quick increase in blood sugar. If I'm not careful this can raise my blood sugars to uncomfortable levels. However...

There is a difference between Fasting and Starvation as you put it above. to quote: There is a vast difference between fasting and starving. During the absence of food, the body will systematically cleanse itself of everything except vital tissue. It continually readjusts to make minimum demands on...

Here's a comment to the guy you quoted, nick. :) You can't judge calcium based on modern diets where milk is typically pasteurized, homogenized, low fat, fortified, and otherwise adulterated. Not entirely, just as you can't judge cholesterol based only on the heated type of oxycholesterol provided b...

Day 2 (evening) Holy cow, the last few hours have been terrible - I have absolutely no energy whatsoever. I was just taking a long walk through Stockholm, and I almost couldn't lift my feet towards the end of the walk... In other words - I'm definitely going to have a sallad for supper, and it will...

Haha, if I used "hannes" I got this:
