Re: Message for Natway... candida high fruit diet..

Thanks for the link. I am glad you have been able to make some progress and thanks for the link.

There are some points that I would like to make and questions that stray a little bit from the realms of this diet. From what I gather the mono diet is only a temporary diet. Also, is the 80/10/10 diet supposed to be followed for about 2-3 weeks or is it a more long term thing.

From articles that I have read before, they seem to suggest that fructose isn't very healthy for a person.

Also, mentioned is the book. Sugar, the bitter truth. Which there are excerpts on youtube.

These sites point to Sugar but really we are only concerned about fructose. Mentioned in the site above, excess fructose did pose a health rish by raising uric acid, leading to gout and causing a pro inflammatory state, which isn't good. But, also, this diet is only used for a short peroid of time.

From what I gather, fructose is commonly metabolized as a fat more so than transforming glucose to be used as fuel. Maybe this is why they suggest fatty liver disease as a product of high fructose. I guess the fat, which I think is glycogen is then released from the liver for form glucose and raise the blood Sugar and I guess fuel the cells. It doesn't really sound all that efficient though. Also, if glycogen runs out then you have ketosis, which is harmful.

The other thing about the relationship with fats and glucose, or fats coating the cells inhibiting the transport of glucose into the cell. The article never describes which fat specifically is the root cause. Just like it never specifically describes which Sugar it is talking about. Dr. Mary Enig, in her book, Eat Fat Lose Fat, she described the transfats as blocking the receptor sites of glucose but never mentioned any of the other fats as doing that. If she was running studies on fats it seems like she would have ran studies on all fats and based the conclusions on her findings and not just a particular fat. I can't remember.

Westin Price found that the healthiest people were the ones with high fat content in their diet.

When there are excess blood glucose in the blood and the cells were blocked from transporting into the cells, the candida came to the rescue feeding on the extra glucose and returning them to normal levels. Then after that they died off to return to normal levels. Candida wouldn't do that, it would change into the fungal form.

It sounds like there is a relationship between eating certain fats and sugar. It may not be right to completely blame candida on one or the other.

Also, another wierd thing that I can't understand. If candida feeds on glucose, and our body will release glucose when we have low blood sugar then it doesn't really make sense that we could ever really get rid of it.

From what I got out of the article, the fat deposits are are going to be used as energy which allows glucose to be transported into cells and the candida won't have a food source so it can't spread.
Does that sound right?
