what are the harmful effects of not chewing thoroughly of bread and potato?

Maybe you'll get a stomach ache?  \nScientifically, I'm pretty sure the only reason we need to chew our food is to make it easier to digest in our stomachs.  Also, I guess you might choke if it gets caught in your throat.

Fruits and veggies will kill you (not literally, but you'll feel like dying) if you have to avoid fiber.  I have the same problem so i know what I'm talking about.\n\nIf you are having a hard time digesting food and have a lot of pain, try full liquids for a few days for some gut rest.  Tomato soup, cream of potato, milkshakes, smoothies all should be OK.  If you have a food processor, you can puree your fruits to make them digestible, avoid fruits with seeds like raspberries.\n\nFor a regular diet, I suggest lean fish and chicken, pasta, cooked potatoes, mac and cheese, V8 juice, etc.  until your digestive system stabilizes.\n\nDo exactly what you doctor says.  Treatments are available for these types of diseases, but you have to allow time for the meds to work.  If you have further questions, email me anytime.

Raw potatoes can give you fever...at least that's what we used to do when we were young to avoid going to school (I never tried it, so it could be a myth, but I definitely heard kids saying that). \nThere are some real fanatics who say that you should not cook food at all! \nPersonally, If you are trying to eat healthy, I suggest you leave out the potatoes. \nThe less you cook vegetables, the more their nutrients are preserved. It's a whole other question whether you can stomach eating only raw veggies for a long time. I couldn't!

If you eat candy during the day or before bedtime and don't brush your teeth of the sugar in the candy it can cause decay thereby leading to cavities. The suagar in the candy, or really, anything you eat, will eventually spoi or rot. When it rots, everyting around it that it is still touching rots, much like that ONE spoiled strawberry, tomato, or potato. If you don't remove it, eventually it will ruin the whole bunch. So if the sugar got in between your teeth and you don't floss, it will rot, and not taken care of will eventually cause tooth decay. Pizza doesn't have sugar, which is inherently bad for the teeth. But I say, anything you eat and dont eventually carefully brush off will be bad for the health and longevity of your teeth.

Some of the major effects are as follows: most will have normal weight, tooth erosions,dental caries (cavities), puffy face, callused knuckles, broken blood vessels in the eyes, guilt and depression. Other serious complications are: cardiac abnormalities such as bradycardia (slow heart rate), hypotension (low blood pressure), arrhythmias, CHF, cardiovascular collapse,esophageal erosions, renal abnormalities that effect the kidneys ability to filter urine, skin rashes and bruising from vomiting.

Chewing gum is not an alternative to eating. chewing gum triggers the body to produce digestive enzymes which with no food in the stomach can cause ulcers.Secondly alot of people confuse thirst with hunger pangs, so try drinking an eight oz. glass of water if it has only been 1-2 hours since your last full meal.

Phenylalanine is a hidden danger to anyone consuming aspartame. Most consumers don't know that too much Phenylalanine is a neurotoxin and excites the neurons in the brain to the point of cellular death. \n\nADD/ADHD, emotional and behavioral disorders can all be triggered by too much Phenylalanine in the daily diet. If you are one in ten thousand people who are PKU or carry the PKU gene, Phenylalanine can cause irreversible brain damage and death, especially when used in high quantities or during pregnancy. Phenylalanine is 50% of aspartame, and to the degree humans consume diet products, Phenylalanine levels are reaching a dangerous peak.\n\nIt is important to learn about the ingredients within your foods, especially isolated amino acids like Phenylalanine. They are in combination within nature for a reason - they don't belong in isolated form for the healthy human diet.

It could be several things, the most likely being Carotenemia, in which case avoid or reduce the foods containing beta-carotene such as vitamin A, fish oils, pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato, etc., and vitamin A. Other less likely things to consider would be Hypothyroidism or  Lipoproteinemia.

Nothing in particular, except smoking. Smoking causes characteristic damage to several body systems, and it reinforces the damage diabetes does. No one needs both at work. Give it up! If you have lost feeling in the feet, it's best by far to check them often for signs of blisters or cuts or skin breaks of any kind. The reason is that, if you can't feel it, you won't take care of it. Diabetes is the largest cause of amputation in adults in theh North America save trauma (like automobile accidents). The reason is largely reduced circulation, and reduced wound healing, and increased infection severity in many diabetics. Watch those feet.   \n\n\nNo food, or food type, is inherently bad for diabetics, and in the case of Type 1 diabetics, there is less concern for various kinds of food than for Type 2 diabetics, for whom excess weight seems to both bring on Type 2, but also to make more severe cases. \n\nThe problem for Type 1s is that, producing no insulin of their own, it's necessary to provide insulin from the outside, and to come as close as possible to the non-diabetic levels of insulin so that blood glucose levels are as near normal as possible. Insulin controls how, and how much, about 2.3 of body cells taek up glucose from the blood. Among much else, of course, for it is a hormone which has wide and varied effects throughout the body. \n\nThere are several things which affect how fast and high blood glucose goes: \n\n--First is how much food is eaten. In this case, sugar (sucrose), milk sugar (lactose), starch (many glucoses stuck together in chains), fat (a small part of fats -- the glycerol backbone -- can be converted to glucose in the body), and so on. All provide glucose, eventually, to the blood. One of the purpsoes of the 'exchange' system is to provide a handy way to estimate the food quantities eaten. \n\n--Second is exercise. Even without insulin, exercise (even mild exercise such as a brisk walk) causes glucose to be uptaken by muscle cells. Given any partiuclar amount of food, exercising before the meal will result in less inculin needed than otherwise, since the mechanisms are independent. teh effect lasts for some hours, so a brisk walk for 30 minutes just after luch will still increase glucose absorprion rates of food eaten at dinner.  \n\n--Third, is the amount of insulin. All other things being equal, more insulin means that more glucose will be absorbed from the blood by body cells and less insulin will mean less. \n\n--Fourth, type of insulin. There are several types of insulin. They vary largely by how long their effect (forcing absroption of glucose from the blood) lasts, and whether there is a marked peak in action. So, a given amount of regular insulin acts faster and more intensely than lente ('slow') insulin which takes longer to exhaust itself, or ultra lente ('very slow') insulin. NPH insulin falls between regular and lente in speed of action adn suration of action. The analog insulins (one from Lilly and one from Novo Nordisk) are much more quickly acting, beginning totake effect with 15 or 20 minutes and being done in an hour or perhaps an hour and a half. Two special insulins, Lantus and Detemir, are unusual in that they exhibit very little peak of action. Their insulin effect  takes place steadily over about 24 hours. \n\nLocation of administration also has a secondary effect on how long the insulin effect lasts. \n\n--Fifth is the composition of the food eaten.  For example, skim milk contains lactose (a mildly sweetish dual sugar) which is disassembled into its component simple sugars and absorbed by the intestines. Drinking the same amount of whole milk delivers the same amount of lactose, but much more slowly since the butterfat in the whole milk slows down digestive action on the lactose. A baked potato eaten 'dry' will be converted to glucose and absorbed, while the smae amount of potato eaten with butter or sour cream is much more slowly a

I read the other day that white bread is one of the worst things to eat. The article said it adds to you wieght. That if you are going to eat bread eat wheat.

Yeah, I'd say you're overdoing it a little. I'm all about dessert and make a point to have a small treat after dinner but twice a day and the amount you're eating (1/4 cup of m&ms is 240 calories, four servings plus three cookies a day is exceeding most people's daily intakes). \n\nToo much sugar really is bad for your overall health. It can ruin your pancreas, your adrenal glands, and it can throw your endocrine system off. Scientists have found that sugar is addictive and has the same effects in the brain as heroin. You'll get cavities, it can cause diabetes, and increases fatigue and PMS symptoms. I'd really start cutting back

You can start drinking lots of water, lay off the soda, no candy or ice cream.  Try to lay off of the bread products too.  Eat more salads w/o dressing and excercise a lot.

Hi: It is more a question of which ones to eat limited amounts of. Those include starchy peas, corn and potatoes.\nThey are still better than white bread and flour starch but\nneed to be limited. Most other fruits and vegetables are\ngreat, especially green leafy vegetables and berries. Ken
