I still try to stay from the sugar completely. I've completely eliminated my craving for sugar, which I see as an accomplishment, others may not. The more perfection I seek in my diet, the more opportunities I will find to express even more perfection.

I don't crave sugar either, but I enjoy it. There is nothing "perfect" about not consuming sugar, but if it helps you sleep at night....its your ED so whatever

First of all the sugar in this oatmeal is refined sugar. Refined sugar raises insulin levels in the blood, and raised blood insulin depresses the immune system. When the immune system is depressed, you ability to fight diseases are weakened.

Raised blood insulin also results in fat gain.

Refined sugar contains no minerals or vitamins WHATSOEVER so for in order it to be metabolized by the body, it MUST draw upon the bodies preserved vitamins and minerals. Whenever these reserves are depleted, metabolization of cholestrol and fatt acids are impeded. Henceforth resulting in heightened blood blood serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels, promoting obesity due to the higher fatty acid storage around vital organs. These organs cannot function in top condition with this storage.

100% true, except refined sugar results in multiple negative effects towards the body.

multiple negative affects? not really....not 12 grams of refined sugar in oatmeal. You need to spend a long long night with an anatomy and physiology textbook...

The effects you pointed out almost always, literally 99.999999999999999999% of the time deal with marginally to unhealthy adults on moderate to VERY high sugar diets. A healthy adult with a good diet who exercises will have ZERO affects from a low to moderate sugar intake. And 12 grams from oatmeal is in that category...

You realize almost every study showing the negative affects of sugar dealt with people who eat over 2 pounds and up to 6 pounds of refined sugar a week?

Just because it's bad in one case doesn't mean it is on all, you are really morphing the facts. Kind of like 1 glass of wine has no affects on your health and could be healthy yet two bottles a day could kill you or ruin your health after so many years

Sugar causes depression?

Brb, downing some sugar and then posting about how I wanna kill myself.

Funny stuff in here.

[conwaylucas]

Well if someone prefers to be healthier I wouldn't recommend it for them.

Thanks,

I just want people to know what they eat and it's effect on the body. :P Especially if it's unhealthy..

This sugar packed oatmeal is unhealthy to eat, it doesn't matter if your Bruce Lee or a regular McDonald's customer.

Just because your active doesn't mean the sugar is just going to dissipate into thin air.

True, I'd prefer 100% Natural Oatmeal.. ingredients: 100% prairie grown oats, no artificial flavors.

Sugar is the enemy, if you have it once, you are more susceptible to having it again, and again, until it becomes a way of life. So if you keep it completely out of your diet, you won't seek it anymore, and thats the way I role.

Plain Oatmeal isn't the same as refined sugar.

You are so incredibly moronic it's not even funny.

Get off this site, learn about macronutrients and micronutrients and how they are digested and then get back to us.

Oh, and *facepalm*.

I didnt expect this to turn bad. But, aren't you pose to get 10g of sugar a day in your body? I think my doc or someone told me that. I was just wondering. I will have to start buying the weight control packs instead to. Seeing how the sugar is really low compare to the normal flavored packs. Thanks for all the replys on the subject.

[Money Shot]

I was wonder if its bad for you if you eat it flavored cuz the sugar?

flavored oatmeal is nastyyy. i dont know how people do it. plain instant quaker oatmeal is the best

[Greater Deity]

Damn... I just drank a bottle of sugar(Orange Juice); I guess I'll start writing my will now, seeing as how I'm about to kill myself from the depression.

Hell, Quaker even makes a low sugar instant oatmeal if you're worried about sugar content. The weight control Quaker is fortified with whey & extra fiber. Both taste great and come in convenient packages. I'd eat them if it didn't cost $3 for a box of 8.
