I just start by letting them know that babies are born keto and that we corrupt their bodies with carbs…
Even mother’s milk is not intended to be carbs since it’s indigestible without bacteria in the gut provided in the same milk. The bacteria concert the carbs into short chain fatty acids and the baby stays in ketosis.
This morning I watched (for the second time, God Bless America) a woman let her toddler choose which coffee creamer flavors he wanted (the orange ones) so he could chug it while she made her coffee. He had about three by the time I was finishing up.
So at least your lady is feeding her kid milk and not Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup coffee creamer. Sometimes you gotta just walk away from idiocy.
She said milk doesnt have sugar? Raw milk maybe, but conventional milk usually has about 10-12g, otherwise itd be like chalk water. Mmmmmm raw milkkkkkk. Illegal here in NJ. Smh.
We live in a world where so many people are so blind and quick to call bunk on any new information before even researching it. “SIRI told me a huge bowl of oatmeal with sliced bananas is a healthy, well-balanced breakfast! So it must be true!”
A lot of doctors here in America basically preach and regurgitate what some medical journal says, which was put together by those who wish to keep us fat, sick, and pharma dependent. In turn, people listen to them and usually rebutt with “Well I think the doctor knows better than you, and my doctor says stay away from butter and fats!” Ok. Sure. Stay away. Dont research it at all. Anything but that.
Its only going to get worse because people are being trained by smart technology to not think for themselves and go along with the narrative presented to them. Theres always pros to said tech, but the point of it is to make us even dumber and blind.
So let them enjoy their Orwellian breakfast, with a side of Soma. SIRI said it was ok.
I don’t blame them. We should be able to trust our doctors, and in many instances it’s better to differ to their knowledge. And I’ve seen Ketoers who use the truth that doctors are not well trained in nutrition, and the nutrition they are taught was founded on bad science, to justify not listening to them at all, and that sort of thinking leads to anti-vaxxing Kool-aid territory.
People do need a healthy degree of skepticism, and as the truth of Keys and his confirmation bias come more and more into the light, we’ll see some people change - hopefully the doctors.
Ah, but she said added sugar. That let’s her conveniently ignore the sugar that’s in it.
I originally misspoke and said “added”. She took it and continued to run with it after I corrected myself. I just look at a label and see “Sugar” and I don’t care what the source is honeslty. Sugar is still sugar. At least we know who will keep the medical industry going in the future. The original poster of the thread liked what I had to say though and she said she heard about it before and wanted to try it, so at least thats something.
Soda in baby bottles is a big thing in the South. I mean, Atlanta is the home of Coca Cola, Mountain Dew originated in Tennessee, Pepsi in North Carolina – all that sugar they grew down there had to go into something!
My mother: you can change some of the minds all of the time and all of the minds some of the time but you will never change all of the minds all of the time.
Glad the OP was interested!
When I was young it was sweet tea during the day, and a few drops of brandy to treat colic at night. My parents were from the north so we didn’t have the same background, and my kids didn’t have it in their bottles either. Then again, fruit juice isn’t that much better than soda or tea, when you come to think of it.
I should probably qualify that statement a little, it’s a bigger thing in the rural south and probably among less educated people. I don’t want to malign the entire south.
Scary- my daughter had nothing but breast milk for a year, per her doctor, then we did breast milk and food for the next year. I cannot believe what I am reading.
I am in Atlanta now. They’re a little put out by my requests for “unsweet” but I’ve never liked to drink sugar and sweet tea here is totally ridiculous.
No need, my cousins did the brandy and they were both college grads and lived in Atlanta. This was back in the 70’s and 80’s. I also remember, back in the 60’s, it was acceptable to smoke while breast-feeding.
I also recall Dilly Water (I think it was called) that was extensively used in the UK and South Africa for colic. It was dill weed in an alcohol base, and that was in the early 2000’s. Friends of ours were dismayed when they couldn’t find it on the shelves here and had family send boxes.
Proper sweet tea here in Atlanta is as much sugar as can be dissolved in the hot tea, and it’s very much of a cultural thing. However, I’ve never had a server act put out when I request unsweet. Unless you order “tea” when you meant “unsweetened tea”, then you’re confusing them because “tea” is always sweet and over ice here.
It’s more when there’s a single unsweet amongst a bunch of sweets. It’s not a big deal. Was worse when I lived in Birmingham.
