Accepted Answer

: Yes but only way to tell in you (as an individual) is to try it and see.

Question 2

what causes wet flatulence? i've noticed an increase in "skidmarks" in my underwear. i've had lactose intolerance most of my life but it's never been too bad. i have started working out pretty hard and drastically reduced calorie and sugar intake?

Accepted Answer

Seepage: Anal seepage can be caused by chronically loose stools, loosening of anal sphincter tone,or rectal prolapse. A proctologist could examine you and determine whether there is prolapse or weak anal sphincter tone and then recommend treatment options.

Question 3

how many fruits can i eat in a day so that sugar from fruits do not contribute to high sugar intake? non-diabetic male,healthy diet,added sugar -35gms

Accepted Answer

Glycemic Index: chart would be helpful.  You can search the net for one.   The fructose and thus insulin evoking aspect to fruits vary from fruit to fruit with berries being the lowest on the list and fruit juices and watermelon being much higher.  Peace and good health. Same process for vegetables.

Question 4

can diet changes, not drastic but higher than usual sugar intake, cause a late menstrual cycle?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Dietary changes can cause a late menstrual cycle, but these are usually extreme changes in the diet with very low calorie intake. Some variation in menstrual cycle is normal with a normal menstrual cycle being anywhere from 21-35 days.

Question 5

is having fizzy drinks okay if you strictly fit it into your daily sugar intake?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Total calories and a balanced diet are the keys.

Question 6

can sugar intake from daily coffee create a risk for diabetes?

Accepted Answer

No: No one has ever developed diabetes because they age sugar -- it's family history, age and weight that are important.

Question 7

is fructose included in daily sugar intake? if so why it's recommended to eat 2-3 portions of fruit a day if they have more sugar than we should eat?

Accepted Answer

Good question!: Yes, fructose is a sugar and you can eat too much fruit. But healthy eating doesn't have to avoid ALL sugars....in fact it is recommended that adult men may eat 9 teaspoons of sugar a day/women 5 tsp. Most of us get a lot more: one soda pop has 10 tsp!  When you eat fruit you also get fiber and other important nutrients. 2-3 servings a day is ok:) Avoid added sugars incl high fructose corn syrup!

Question 8

im having trouble understanding sugar intake. ive been dieting/exercising its going ok for the most part. how much sugar should i be taking in daily? how much added sugar? having a lot of difficulty finding sugar free and low sugar items near me?

Accepted Answer

: Looks like you are trying to eat healthy meals while watching your sugar intake, so one important way of achieving a healthy diet is to replace carbohydrates having a high glycemic index (eg, white rice, white bread, pancakes) with a low glycemic index (eg, fruits, vegetables), also added sugars should be limited and comprise no more than 10 percent of total calories consumed.

Question 9

if sugar intake from fruits and honey can be too much? i eat a lot of honey, fresh and dry fruits such as raisin date and fig daily.sugar from yogurt.

Accepted Answer

It depends : Even natural sugars have calories and can lead to weight gain if consumed in excess. However, our bodies process natural sugars better than refined ones. You are better off getting your sugars from natural products like fruits and honey because of the other nutrients they contain. As long as you are not diabetic your body should handle the sugars without difficulty.

Question 10

what is the recommended daily limit of sugar intake in grams?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on your weight, and body mass index that you need certain amount of calories.
Also depends on the diet you pick and find them to be healthy, such as dash which is more carbohydrates, or atkins which is protein base. Please talk to a dieticien.
