Sugar in food

thatbags I am beginning to feel that you are rather picking on me... somehow. Water off a duck's back of course- but it is not pleasant or particularly funny- and bordering on the bullyish.

I am absolutely sure you knew I meant excessive amounts of the bad cholesterol- as you are an intelligent woman- and that it is an ailment in as much as it is dangerous.

Perhaps you would care to continue the conversation in my mothertongue

And the link doesn't work! Can't find the server. Maybe it's just me.

Healthier than they were before when they just had glucose and sucrose, thatbags. Apparently replacing 30% of the sucrose with a similar amount of fructose makes them healthier, i.e. more healthy, than they were before!

Teasing banter, jura.

Thanks, djen. I see.

margaretm74, you could always just copy and paste the link, and click on the 'Convert links automatically' option below the posting box.

Saves all the double brackets palaver!

The reason Margaret's link will not work is because she put :/ instead of ://
UNderneath the box, Margaret, where you write your message is a box that says converts link automatically. Just put a tick in there, and you will not have to remember what style of bracket you need to put.
As long as you start with http:// or with www. it will convert the link.

Yes, as I said...

Thank you, still learning, have a tablet, am used to a PC.

Found the thingies underneath now thanks

Well I, feeling peckish, am enjoying a nice bit of bread and treacle. (Golden syrup)

Tomorrow the sticky keyboard will be cleaned.

And butter?

Sorry, Ana, our posts must have crossed.

I hope it's white bread jingle and not any of that healthy stuff?

You have made me hungry jingle I have just had a bacon sandwich. it has to be with white bread

I've just finished a bowl of porridge, with a grated apple, some sultanas , a good sprinkling of cinnamon, and to top it all, half a desert spoon of manuka honey. It was made with half skim milk, half water. Now, food police - what's the best/worst part of my breakfast?
I have tried to reduce sugar since the festive over indulgence, but I can't say I find it easy.

Half a teaspoon of cinnamon to a teaspoon of honey placed in the mouth and allowed to slide down the throat is good for colds and coughs.
My preferred naughty is a sandwich of whit bread with condensed milk inside. This comes from childhood when some Thursdays that was all there was to eat.
the current Save the Children advert of a poor English lad having to sleep in an unseated bedroom and eat a slice of toast with jam takes me back. That was normal where I grew up.

Definition of a 1950's heated bedroom - temperature is 75+ outside and the sun's coming in that way. Ooh, and fresh white bread with Mum' homemade damson jam. (But we did get homegrown veg as well and I do take the point about the advert before anyone posts)

I would think the dried fruit is probably the worst, with concentrated sugar? But good for you so I eat it.

Can't stand a heated bedroom- it's around 17C in ours in winter- and we have the window partially opened at night (with - lots outside..). Put me in a heated bedroom with window closed and I won't sleep, or wake up with massive headache.

Likewise, jura, except ours is about 12-13° in winter and 15-16 in summer.

Mine about 17 all year. The downstairs is usually about 22C

How do people manage to keep their bedroom temperature so low in summer? Air conditioning? Ours is a nightmare to keep cool as the heat rises from the wood-burner in winter and it gets dreadfully hot in summer too. We have masses of insulation.

Sorry, very off topic. I was musing on the sugar stuff this weekend as I watched lots of stick-thin Italians eating sugary pastries with their coffee. Maybe it is the glass of water that makes a difference?

Keep curtains and windows closed. My bedroom runs the full width of the house so I can get a through draft if I open them after it's cooled down.
