Cauliflower: How could it cause such

brigmave · Joined: 27 Sep 2007 Posts: 70

I am amazed! How could the consumption of cauliflower cause such a
lengthy discussion?
Perhaps Asparagus, Leeks or cabbage could cause such emotions
errupting...but cauliflower?
How about Rhutabagas or Petit Choux's. We consume those also!
What about fruit? We regularly eat papaya, mango, pineapple, star
fruit, figs, persimmons, apricots and plucots.
I grow all my own herbs and purchase only those that are grown
elsewhere. I have some lovely baby ginger just about ready to
harvest.
Surely other foods are much more interesting !
Thanks for the spirited discussions on the subject. I didn't know
cauliflower could raise ire!

Of course you do realize that the discussion has nothing to do with
cauliflower? Right?

LOL, but if they only eat them twice a day, in large amounts, then it
shouldn't be a problem for them. Wink

It's not the cauliflower, it's the amount of carbs you are eating. There
are few of us here who could eat anywhere near 200g of carbs per day. We'd
be in spike city!

I rarely ever eat fruit either. But then, I never liked fruit.

I can't stand it cooked. Can eat a small amount of it raw, but I rarely do
since it is goitrogenic.

Yes, of course you do... many of them fast spikers.

The carbs we eat are well within the guidelines for the ADA.

At the risk of repeating myself all people are NOT created equal in
metabolic functions.
We have these fruits growing on our property and we do eat them and
they do us no harm.

I most eat several serving of fruit during the day following the ADA
guidelines.
You may laugh, roll on the floor or whatever! You must accept the
fact that people metabolize foods differently.
How do you feel about those who are lactose sensitive? Are they
laughable too?

I already told you that I don't believe you. You're either not
testing, or you're not a type2 diabetic. That is my belief. I could be
wrong though, and often am.

True, and maybe his wife is a very large woman too. Smile

I don't happen to be a very large man but my husband is. He shares
the same foods as I and has wonderful control.
I am not a large woman either. But both of us are involved in rather
intensive exercise programs.

Could that be why you have so many problems?

That seems to your interpretation and it is faulty. Do all people
Diabetics or not have to follow in your footsteps to be on the right
road to health?
