My concern about taking sugar (= simple carbo) is purely based on the premise that glucose/sucrose, alcohol, recreational drugs, anaesthetics and paints work against the liver's capacity to manufacture precursor vitamins and amino acids.

Berocca used to contain heaps of sugar > shifted to 951 & 950 as many manufacturers of confectionery have > risky (health) business in the long term. :angry:

yeah totally agree but sugar has gotten a bad rap, yes our diets are probably too high in it but I'd rather raw sugar in my diet than carcinogens

I guess it looks good on the pack to say sugar free

I wish they'd just leave the sweeteners out of it and leave it up to the consumer to add

Stevia (aka Sweet Leaf of Paraguay) is the ideal alternative.

Maybe one should start a plantation!

Stevia:-

* natural sweetener

* reduces insulin resistance

* acts on the satiety centre of the brain to induce the feeling of fullness

Con = slight aftertaste - but not unpleasant to me personally

How much better (if at all) is raw sugar VS white sugar? I switched a while back and it wasn't an issue as far as taste goes. Granted I only drunk coffee maybe once a week and the odd weetbix breakfast with some sugar, but still no taste issue

You use sugar on weetbix? :O

I find they are sweet enough if having with milk given there is sugar in both to start off with :)

Terry - is there a good "all in one" multi-vitamin on the market?

Obviously it wont cover everything, but surely there must be something reasonable out there?

Yes I do. Hate weetbix without it. I also microwave them in the milk to make them soggy (not so much that they lose their shape though, 1:20 on my mums microwave does the trick)

But most mornings i eat oats anyway. Weetbix/sultana bran is when I'm lazy or short on time

And I take swisse ultivite. Don't know if it's the best on the market but it makes my piss neon green so it's all good

For guys who physically work out Ash, I'd use Tresos-B with Selenium.

I used to think that raw sugar was better than white - but now with its additives, they're probably just as bad as each other; but nowhere near as bad as 951 and 950 (aspartame & acesulphame).

On porridge, if not Stevia, then pure maple syrup (eg Camp) has less glucose than even honey. Honey can be healing on the gut, especially Manuka honey.

Easy for you guys to have sugar. Mr diabetic here has to switch to the cancerous stuff as an alternative. But now Terry has mentioned Stevia which I'm going to give a shot at. If it means better than Splenda/Equal..well that's my permanent switch.

Tresos-B + Selenium is bought from health food shops; made by Eagle. Stress B Forte is the same but Aussie.

Stevia is from health food shops too. Splenda is a synthetic sugar called sucralose which doesn't seem to have any red flags against it so far.

Hmm very interesting. I knew equal was always the baddie but I assumed Splenda would be in a similar boat. I will also check out Tresos-B+selenium; never heard of it but this had given me some broad options as I basically have 30g of carbs(mono/di/starchy) per day and rest come from green veges (fibrous carbs & dietary fib). Might as well do the keto diet lol.

good replies thanks Terry, I think I'll check out your recommended multi

I looove maple syrup but I'd go broke eating it all the time... I don't have a sweet tooth though, can't think of anything I sweeten on a daily basis... I eat eggs on toast for breaky these days, got it down to a 5min process... even with baked beans on gym days:)

same here, oats and milk nearly every day... If you have time issues in the morning heres something u can try.. put oats milk milo (even honey too if u want) in a blender and blend the shit out of it for about a minute or so....

they u can have a good breaky and just neck it before u run out the door... thats what i do most morning haha...

oats keeps u feeling more "full" i think aswell... plus lots of energy for weights.... i take swisse aswell... never tried any others but..

Was doing that a while back...They don't blend fine enough to drink like a normal drink, but a few chews with every sip got em down

yer it can turn out more like a chewy thick shake lol....

if u blend it longer again and vary the speeds i think u can get it fairly fine though..

either way its much quicker than actually eating them as porrige i think..

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
