My current treat is cooking down #strawberries or #blueberries with #allulose and mixing them in with #Fage 0% #fat #yogurt.

I make the fruits extra sweet so when they're blended with the tart yogurt the mix is just right.

Allulose is expensive, but it's not metabolized by the body and doesn't spike #BloodSugar. It also doesn't have an aftertaste like other table #sugar alternatives (straight, I don't like it for coffee, so I use a 60/40 blend with #turbinado sugar).

Yesterday, when I was at Chemainus Theatre waiting to watch a brilliant adaptation of It’s A Wonderful Life, I overheard a conversation between some women seated behind me. They were discussing the local sugar shortage. Apparently there is no sugar to be found in any grocery store anywhere in Nanaimo.

Sugar Cube via Wikipedia

This reminded me of the early days of the Covid crisis when there was a rush on toilet paper and, simultaneously, sugar. (There is possibly a coincidence/causation discussion there, which I will avoid.) When the shelves were bare of granulated sugar, my eldest son bought some boxes of sugar cubes so that we would have something in reserve. I still have my box of cubes … or most of them, anyway.

Tonight, as I watch TV and I have my usual craving for something sweet, I am reminded that I have only about half a kilogram of granulated white sugar, a fistful of brown sugar and, thankfully, most of that box of sugar cubes. This limited supply and the memory of the theatre chat led me to restrain my gastronomic urges and to resist making cookies or a dessert of any kind. As a child of “You can’t have dessert until you eat your supper,” this was a real struggle. This evening I did, after all, dutifully eat my supper, so my inner child deserved dessert, but I chose to write this blog instead. I can feel the virtual pats on my head already!

Sugar via Taste of Home

As an attempt to distract myself from the sugar craving, I went online to see if I could discover the reason for the empty shelves. As with all drugs, it turned out to be a supply issue.

Rogers Sugar is the primary source for my sugar fix and they are now in their seventh week of a labour strike. As a consequence, all of western Canada is now without sugar. Whatever secondary sources of supply there once were have already been exhausted, and so grocery stores, donut shops, bakers, and ordinary everyday addicts are now completely out of luck.

Image via bonappetit.com

The question now becomes, what shall I do with my limited sugar stash? Shall I use it all up by making baked goods and freeze the results, or hang on to my reserves in case the strike goes on until Christmas? Maybe I could just look at it daily, dip a fingernail into the supply and give it a lick to stave off the cravings. I could even sniff it, but that would be going too far, even for me.

Despite these early days of sugar withdrawal, my sympathies are with the strikers. I am a lifelong supporter of union organizations and their efforts on behalf of workers worldwide. Go sugar people! Your demands for fair wages and a humane number of work hours per week are absolutely reasonable, and I will survive my temporary sugar realignment. And, maybe, just maybe, this will be good for all of us.

#Flu #FluSeason #sugar 🤔 🧐

I don’t drink, have never had a huge sweet tooth, and have never had a flu shot. And in the last decade I think I’ve only had a bad cold fewer times than I can count on one hand, and nearly sure I’ve never had a bona-fide flu.

In the US, we have a candy holiday, followed by a pie holiday, next, a cookies and candy holiday before a boozer holiday, and we call it "flu season" rather than sugar poisoning season.

Anyway, here's a neat #photo I took at the grocery store today.

Is food addiction real? Apparently if it is “ultra-processed”

https://www.theguardian.com/food/2023/oct/12/its-like-trying-to-quit-smoking-why-are-1-in-7-of-us-addicted-to-ultra-processed-foods

As Van Tulleken explains, “Addictive products are not addictive for everyone. Almost 90% of people can try alcohol and not develop a problematic relationship; many can try cigarettes, or even cocaine.” Equally, not everyone who eats UPFs will become addicted – but, based on current studies, one in seven will. “Many UPFs for many people are addictive,” Van Tulleken summarises. “And when people experience food addiction, it is almost always to UPF products.”

I'd been vegan for about 20 years when I went sugar-free, so already an obsessive reader of the fine print on food labels (ingredients lists, nutrition charts etc). It's amazing how many things the food industry sneaks sugar into, and how much, eg many brands of fruit jam and "tomato relish" are more than 50% sugar by volume.

Also, how many words they use to avoid calling it "sugar":

10 #Foods Becoming Massively More Expensive Due to #ClimateChange

by Apeksha Bhateja | July 5, 2023

"Climate change is touching every aspect of human life. It may not be responsible for every disaster, but climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent and intense. Turbulence is getting worse. Cities are sinking. Droughts and floods are forcing people to flee their homes. What else? Food, of course.

Although food prices are affected by many factors—economics of the country, supply-chain, inflation, oil prices, wars and conflicts—climate plays a major role in production and it has started to sting. More than 345 million people face severe food insecurity in 2023 and crop failures due to floods, droughts, and other extreme weather events are making things worse.

@jeremybmerrill that graininess is crystallized #sugar and a bit of salt. Or as the doritos food engineers and Frito-Lays CEO call it ... "flavor crystals."

I think I've always tasted/felt the cookie dough was grainy. And liked it. But as I get older it starts to lose it's wow factor, just as all sugary american products do. Find i've developed a #snobby taste for European and Australian desserts with about half the sugar of comparable American recipes

Why are people feeding their #cat #sugar? I've seen several related toots today. Your cat's kidney's vessels are tinier than the sugar molecules so they'll get shredded. #Cats can't taste sugar so what's the point giving your hopefully loved pet #diabetes at least?

It's your responsibility to keep them #healthy and to give them the best #life they could ever imagine.

hmm Best way to get over eating too much sugar? I'd been doing so well, then I made pies. I have a weakness for pie. #sugar
