Sugar addicted uncle
The other day, after watching my Uncle who was over visiting, scarfing down a huge bag of jujubs 5 pounds worth, and scratching his arms, because he has a fungus infection. I jumped on my soap box, and toted all the benefits of low carbing.
( I suspect he has Candidisis)
As he was listening, and scratching and chewing... he started to try to inturrupt me, but I just kept on. My Aunt listening intently, understood, just how logical this WOE is.
He has been to the doctor for the fungus and the doctor gave him a cream, but said it would take a long time to clear up.
I told him, to stay away from the sugar, and wheat ( he sees that the wheat bloats him up) But he says, I don't want to as it tastes good.
I said, I guess your taste buds are more important to you than your health then!!
After I got off my soap box, and the subject had changed, my Aunt wanted to know what book to get, because she can see how much better I am. ( Hardly any asthma attacks - wheat is one of my big triggers).
I am a recovering sugar addict..... and I thought I could help my Uncle. I guess... you can only help those who want to help themselves!!!!!
Thanks for taking the time to read this!!!
