I see where you're coming from. I hope the kids you raise will understand how you're trying to help them. But I know that having kids absolutely changes your plans.

Culture is whatever you want it to be in your house and your little ones will take that into the world when they're old enough and hopefully make it a better place for all of us.

Right... so as long as they have the mental capacity to choose for themselves, then age doesn't matter....Even if it creeps you out, as long as there is mutual respect, then it's all good, right?

The couple in this post, as long as there is mutual respect, should get the same general 'ok' from you. No double standards.

Just curious, what set of values would you put on your kids? Or will they be free to do as they please with no guidance from you?

Creepy or not, as long as it's legal, unforced, and consensual.

Please explain?

Ahh yes, finally, good fucking autism

No...Drinking water doesn't cause drowning. Inhaling it does. How much water have you inhaled in your lifetime? Regardless, even drinking too much water can cause seizures.

The logic is this: there's an unhealthy amount of anything for everyone.

Everyone needs to lower sugar intake to reduce the chance of developing diabetes type 2. And absolutely control it if born with type 1, gestational, the whole spectrum of diabetes. Sugar isn't the only thing that leads to it, either, but the risk is absolutely equated with sugary foods.

Lowering of carbohydrates reduces stress on the pancreas. Heck, your body can create sugar as it needs. We don't need carbs and will be healthier with less in our diets.

No, for the first, we call that lifestyle modification, it's absolutely a form of non-pharmaceutical treatment, like physical therapy. Diet and exercise are essential. I am arguing that if control of sugar and carbs helps response, it can also be assumed that uncontrolled sugar will create more problems. Sugar is a culprit.

I'll restate my previous with type 1 in mind: sugar isn't the sole cause of diabetes, but it absolutely contributes to developement of type 2, which the original poster was eluding to and seems to be going way over your head.

Educating people, especially children, that sugar doesn't cause diabetes is a misleading over-simplification of the disease. It's wreckless and contributes to a lower quality of life over time. I'd absolutely ask you or your manager to reevaluate your current understanding.

So why does treatment that consists of reducing or controlling glucose also control for symptoms and progression of diabetes?

This is such a bad take. Sugar doesn't directly give diabetes to you. Your pancreas will try it's best, but if it's genetics or just insanely high sugar levels, it doesn't matter. The minute your body can't keep up with insulin production, the high levels of blood sugar absolutely wreck you.

Shh don't tell OP about Aphrodite
