Caffeine, Insulin Resistance Syndrome & Diabetes
|
|
If you were watching the 2004 Democratic Convention, you may have seen the ticker tape that runs at the bottom of your screen warning diabetics that caffeine can dangerously raise their blood sugar. Although the effect of caffeine stimulating the release of stored sugar from the liver is well known, few studies have specifically tested caffeine’s effect on people suffering from either insulin resistance syndrome or type 2 diabetes.
Most doctors are aware of caffeine’s effect on reducing cellular sensitivity to insulin and raising blood sugar, but nevertheless they rarely recommend that their pre-diabetic and diabetic patients should cut down on caffeine. Even the American Diabetic Association has taken the position that diabetics won’t suffer from caffeine consumption. Their idea of a healthy breakfast includes coffee with skim milk; cut the fat but don’t mention the caffeine! Now, however, a new study has demonstrated that caffeine causes a sharp rise in blood sugar if you drink a cup of coffee, especially after eating a meal. Anyone interested in controlling insulin spikes, whether to maintain stable blood sugar or to lose weight, should be aware of the results of this study.

Herbal Tip: Cinnamon Helps Lower Blood Sugar
|
|
It was discovered by accident. The US Department of Agriculture was conducting experiments on foods to see how fast they raise blood sugar. Oddly enough, America’s favorite apple pie had just the opposite effect. It helped reduce blood sugar!
If you are insulin resistant, have type 2 diabetes or just want to stabilize your blood sugar to help lose weight, here is a delicious way to lower your blood sugar and reduce both your cholesterol and blood pressure while you naturally stimulate your metabolism.

"Teeccino is the miracle beverage I have been waiting for! Along with the real threat of caffeine contributing to high blood glucose in patients with diabetes, we all know that caffeine can raise blood pressure. High blood pressure is common in people with diabetes, as well as many others. It is often known as the "silent killer". Caffeine is also a culprit in many cases of gastric upset, exacerbated by a condition known as gastroparesis, which can become a problem in patients with diabetes. Thanks Teeccino, for contributing to our quest for a healthy lifestyle!!"

Teeccino Brings Back Fond Memories
|
|
"When I discovered Teeccino the other day, it was like having someone give me back the ambience of crisp autumn afternoons, leisurely Sunday breakfasts, and Christmas by the warmth of the fireplace.
That might sound a bit much for a little coffee substitute, but in my world where low blood sugar severely limits my food and beverage choices, being able to enjoy a cup of coffee without sugar or caffeine, is a blessing you can’t imagine.
It’s funny, because out of all the foods I am unable to have any more, coffee is really the only one I missed.
I think it’s because of the feelings, traditions, and celebrations that are intertwined with drinking coffee.
I thank you so much for making such a great, healthy, wonderful tasting product!
Thanks,

FAQ: Teeccino - Acidic or Alkaline
|
|
Does Teeccino have an alkaline or acidic effect in the body?
"Teeccino has an alkaline effect on the system due to several reasons. First, its high content of potassium, an alkaline mineral, helps neutralize acidity and restore an alkaline balance. Second, most of the ingredients in Teeccino like the chicory, almonds, dates and figs are all alkaline. Third, by roasting the ingredients in Teeccino, especially the barley that is an acidic grain, the carbohydrates become more easily digestible and thus less acidifying.
Drinking Teeccino helps you reduce acidity in your body in two ways. First, it provides the alkaline mineral, potassium, which your body uses to balance the acidity in your diet. Second, the inulin from the chicory in Teeccino supports a population of beneficial microflora that enhances your digestion and increases the bio-availability of minerals. Thus Teeccino gives you a better ability to absorb your alkaline minerals like calcium, potassium, magnesium, cobalt, and copper that a healthy person needs to maintain the body’s natural alkaline balance."

Featured Recipe: Iced Teeccino & Teeccino Smoothie
|

 Iced Teeccino has got to be one of the most delightful summer drinks around, though I know I’m prejudiced! We are lucky here in Santa Barbara to have a number of establishments serving Teeccino and this summer, we’ve been voting on who makes the coolest Teeccino in town. On a recent trip to the Northwest, I tasted some great iced Teeccinos in several natural food coffee bars. If your favorite spot doesn’t serve Teeccino yet, take your packet in and ask for a double iced cappuccino - it’s to live for!
on’t let the lack of a local barista stop you from making your own iced Teeccino at home. Here are two recipes that will make your hot summer days delightful. It’s as simple as brewing and chilling to create a tall glass of Iced Teeccino. Plus you’ll find Teeccino makes the perfect low calorie base for smoothies that will keep your blood sugar stable for hours! Try Ann Louise Gittleman’s Teeccino Tofruitti Smoothie from the Fat Flush Cookbook. We hear testimonials from Fat Flush dieters all the time that Teeccino brings them so much pleasure as the pounds drop off!
Enjoy those summer days!
