That was very long; to say it succinctly: - I couldn't digest sucrose (due to Candida and damage to the intestine from eating grains); so if I sipped a sucrose-rich juice: 1) I felt immediately hungry (it wasn't usable to me), and 2) hunger was accentuated because the sucrose *was* used by Candida, ...

I will defer to RRM on all advice; it depends too on whether or not you are 1) experimenting (sensing the body) or 2) trying to solve an acute problem-- or a bit of both. If it is instructive to hear why I did this, to sum up: - I found it easiest digestively; and - sensorially (sensing energy needs...

The following covers how the mix of sugars affects digestion differently based on their varying proportions in juices: "Absorption of Carbohydrate From Juice"
 The 4 major sugars in juice are sucrose, glucose, fructose, and sorbitol. Sucrose is a disaccharide that is hydrolyzed into 2 component mono...

Jodiat, fats/oils can do this instead of fiber. I eat the sugar/fat ratio recommended with the juice I drink. I think it is always useful though to do lots of experiments as you try this diet. Try everything, really.... It is all of these exercises in observing what the body wants that teaches you, ...

If you have any digestive problems, eating sugars this way (even short term) can provide tremendous relief. With my young nephews, post-diarrhea from flu or other illness they are given grape juice instead of apple or pear (which are relatively high in sucrose). Again, juices like grape require no b...

The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (scdiet.org) very astutely notes which carbohydrates require breakdown in the intestine (which is a problem for those with IBS, Crohn's, and candida) and it is a good source in partially understanding how sugars are used in the body. Going even beyond this, and within ...

Actually, grapefruit, kumquat, and lemons could be on the menu too (sour, low-sugar fruits).

Yes; and I think that if one is afraid to consume it at all, one will have to avoid all fruit, even low-sugar fruit like tomatoes, most or all vegetables including beets, carrots, onions and many, many more, and honey.

It doesn't seem to make for a very good diet. Maybe rice, lettuce, and fish?

If you search my posts you will see a lot in the past year about Candida. I adapted this diet to include only monosaccharides, which require no digestion (glucose; fructose; dextrose; ribose), even limiting fruit to those containing mostly monosaccharides. I was inspired to do this by my own observa...

For example, a navel orange with 12g sugar contains 3g fructose, 3g glucose, and 6g sucrose. If you make orange juice with this and add table sugar and oil (as included in this diet), the fructose content is probably 20%. If you take low-sugar fruits and juice them (like cucumber), and add sucrose f...

I remove all the papery brown skin on nuts (including walnuts) and without it they do not taste either bitter or tannic at all; just sweet. I use a coldpressed walnut oil too (unheated) and I am not sure about what they do with that skin in making it, but it too has a very pleasing flavor: rich ad o...

The quotations/philosophies are from Aajonus Vonderplanitz?

I still do not understand the interpretation of the diet as being uniformly (in all cases) high in fructose. It depends greatly upon which fruits are available to you. Many or most tropical fruits, for example, are largely sucrose, with a low concentration of fructose (relatively). Some non-fruits, ...

Like most skincare companies.

They are huge marketing/advertising agencies, cloaked under "scientific research" and health of skin. Their products are very damaging....but they persist.

What causes anything~


Nobody knows.
