    I'm sorry but where are you getting your information? The discussions on HFCS are current, Google
    can provide you with links to substantiate that fact. And yes, your diet is responsible for your
    Type 2 diabetes. You have pushed your bodies ability to adjust its insulin to the amount [censored] you
    put in it that it simply gives up and a resistance is developed. Type 2 diabetes is preventable
    and unnecessary. I have to say this group is quite full of the most narrow-minded people I have
    ever had the dis-pleasure of associating with. I susbscribed to the group because I thought I
    would find intelligent conversations regarding diabetes, I am not a diabetic but my son is (Type
    1). I enjoy seeking information and discussing nutrition and diet related topics but I can see
    that doesn't happen here. Perhaps there are others lurking that feel the same way, if so, please
    feel free to make contact and a private mailing list could setup so we don't have listen to the
    nonsense of the Ted Rosenwhatzits and the Julie Bovines (yes Julie I have seen your photo - funny
    how you dispell medical professional opinions about chemicals you are eating but promote Tarot and
    dream analysis. LOL).

    if you are telling the truth about your son being type 1, then it is understandable that you do not
    have any facts on type 2 diabetes. it's also intersting to note that you use the "bovine" bait that
    another known troll has been using for quite some time. your responses do not lend any credibility
    to your posts and claims.

    if you want credibility stick to type 1 discussions that you should know at least something about if
    you were not in fact lying about your son having type 1.

    and which newsgroup did you mean to sub too? you crossposted this to 4 separate groups.

    Just for the record i'm neither overweight nor narrow minded. I can't comment on T2 diabetes as i
    don't have it. Intelligent diet for a diabetic is no different to the diet required for a normal
    healthy person because that is what in essence we all are. Just be aware that what you see as
    interesting discussion may well have been "done to death" by what these "narrow minded people" would
    call a troll or a spammer 😉

    If you must approach a subject in the same manner as a troll or spammer would then you can hardly
    moan when you get the same reception can you.

    I'm sorry but where are you getting your information?

    Obviously from better places than you!

    Quoted message said:

    The discussions on HFCS are current, Google can provide you with links to substantiate that fact.

    Riiiiiiighhhtttt......... the fact that a bunch of TROLLS are spamming the NGs with outdated HFCS
    info lends legitimacy to your argument. Do you have any _recent_ cites from recognized medical
    jounals? I didn't think so.

    Or do you simply (and simplistically!) believe that repitition alone makes your statements true?

    Quoted message said:

    And yes, your diet is responsible for your Type 2 diabetes. You have pushed your bodies ability to
    adjust its insulin to the amount [censored] you put in it that it simply gives up and a resistance is
    developed.

    [censored]!! Here you've quite clearly gone right over the edge. FWIW, my Dx of type 2 is
    classified as Agent Orange induced. While I was overweight at the time of Dx, I was _never_ obese
    and have always eaten a "healthy" diet, which is borne out by my BP, cholesterol levels and
    general good health.

    Gee, I wonder how you explain all of those morbidly obese people who _don't_ have diabetes? Or the
    thin ones who DO?

    Quoted message said:

    Type 2 diabetes is preventable and unnecessary.

    That statement alone proves that you rode the _little_ bus to school. You must be pulling these
    "facts" out of your ass, or do you have a legitimate cite you'd care to share with us ignorant folk?
    Or is this simply another iteration of the twinkie defense?

    It's ignorant and unfeeling folks like you that make this illness more difficult to live with than
    necessary.

    Quoted message said:

    I have to say this group is quite full of the most narrow-minded people I have ever had the dis-

    their life depended on it!

    Which you hope to find by stating that "Type 2 diabetes is preventable and unnecessary"??

    Quoted message said:

    I am not a diabetic but my son is (Type 1).

    So, the mere fact that your SON is type 1 makes you an instant expert on type 2? WOW!! That's simply
    AMAZING! How was this knowledge delivered? Black helicopter? Or did a UFO transmit it directly to
    you? Time to wrap your head in tinfoil to ensure that the knowledge isn't lost through leakage.

    Quoted message said:

    I enjoy seeking information and discussing nutrition and diet related topics but I can see that

    Based on your posts, all you enjoy doing is disseminating half-truths, ignorance and myths disguised

    interesting discussion may well have been "done to death" by what these "narrow minded people"
    would call a troll or a spammer 😉

    Since I was commenting on Type 2 and you are Type 1 then why have responded? Please pay attention.
    Your correct about diet. When my son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes almost 8 years ago now I was
    initially upset and angry. I quickly realized though that it meant that our entire family would be
    making changes to our lifestyle that would be ultimately more healthy. In the past 8 years we have
    worked very closely with our endocrinologist and dieticians to the point where we can make much
    better choices in the foods we consume. The problem here is that when a person presents something
    for discussion and the topics are current (HFCS) being dealt with by professionals worldwide, why do
    the narrow-minded people here resort to name calling and paranoid re-actions to facts that are not
    created by "trolls" or "spammers"? I am not selling anything, what have I to gain by looking to
    educate and be educated? Why does the discussion of ingesting chemicals upset these people so much?
    As an example, and I don't use or have anything to do with any company that does, lets take the
    debate over Stevia and Aspartame. Should an intelligent person assume that a chemical produced for
    profit (lots!) should be accepted over an herb that has been used ny Peruvians for many centuries?
    Can I be called a "troll" or a "spammer" for suggesting a discussion of this topic? These
    discussions may have already taken place and been "done to death" as you suggest, but there are new
    people coming into these groups daily and old topics will inherintly re-surface as they do in ALL
    newsgroups. Using foul language and telling people to f-off because they don't like your opinions is
    narrow-minded. Are there not people here who have children that may want to get involved in
    reasonable discussions about their condition or learn more about diabetes so they can understand it
    more because a loved one is diabetic? I'm sorry but the responses in this group lead me to believe
    that there are a few in this group that are not capable of social interaction and have maybe spent
    far too many years behind a computer screen to know how to behave in a real group of people.

    Something has changed I guess in the way people communicate. I thought joining a conversation was
    called participating. So basically, if I don't agree or have another perspective on a topic I can be
    considered a "troll" or a "spammer". Insightful...

    +I might well have plonked you with no reply. And I will plonk +you if you continue to post as you
    have been doing.

    In some places around the world, 'plonk' can mean something different to what you might imagine.
    Take for example a statement I once heard - "I am going for a plonk". Curious, I asked what that
    meant. "I am going for a [censored]" came the ammused reply. Clearly the term in this case, originated
    from the sound excrement can sometimes make when deposited from altitude.

    This misinterpretation can lead to awkward sittuations. Try using the S**** word for plonk to see
    what another interpretation might be.

    to things like this, personally i try and keep an open mind in such things but i tend to steer clear
    of foods that are "designed" for diabetics as for me at least they hold no appeal. I prefer to make

    I'm actually making some very major dietary changes based largely on what i read on here and also

    posting to would stone you to death, verbally or otherwise. The only way one can make a decision
    based on choice is if one has access to as much information as possible.

    Like you i'm finding that certain groups are better to post in and start discussions on this than
    certain others and i also suspect that I, like you will be restricting my posting to that group and
    simply read the rest for information purposes only.

    How you view your son has NOTHING to do with the claptrap you've parroted that "Type 2 diabetes is
    preventable and unnecessary". Even worse was your statement "And yes, your diet is responsible for
    your Type 2 diabetes. You have pushed your bodies ability to adjust its insulin to the amount [censored]
    you put in it that it simply gives up and a resistance is developed".

    To repeat, kindly tell me HOW my Type 2 DM, which is the result of my exposure to a gene altering
    chemical, was preventable by me?

    I'll add indefensible to the characterization of your views and statements as being ignorant and
    unfeeling.

    Are you unable to have a rationale discussion regarding that topic. I can see that you can't by

    When you post a rational response, I'll reply in kind. As long as you continue to book us Type 2s a
    guilt trip for having caused our illness through inactivity or poor diet I'll continue to heap abuse
    on you. Just so there's no confusion.

    Until you have a child with a disease that could shorten and affect his/her life, please keep the

    And once again, what the hell does your son's Type 1 Dx have to do with your castigating Type 2s for
    having brought their illness on themselves? Perhaps you need to learn something about Type 2 DM
    before making such a cruel statement.

    How would you feel were someone to suggest that your son's Type 1 DM was just nature's way of
    weeding out the weaklings and he should be allowed to die to strengthen the gene pool? Pretty cruel,
    right? Almost as cruel as your statement.

    Type 1 and Type 2 DM are two DIFFERENT diseases with differing treatments, something you apparently
    don't know.

    As to children, I have three adult children who are all presently healthy, thanks for asking. That
    wasn't always the case though, so don't attempt to wrap yourself in a "holier than thou" attitude.
