Guest guest Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hi, I don't think I get a bad temper from sugar. I think I might get a headache either from too much salt or too much sugar but I have yet to be fully convinced of that. Could be a coincidence and I'm probably not going to experiment on myself to see if I can come to any conclusive findings. Still I try not to overdo. Moderation is usually a good thing anyway.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Yes moderation is the key. Good thing I eat salt. My BP is so low I'd probably sink away if I didn't put it on everything, ev en my fruit.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Low sodium in the body is very dangerous, as well as too much is dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Yes, my BP is always low too. Same with my mother and sister. Must be a genetic thing, I guess. I've never actually passed out, that I can recall, but I do feel a little light-head now and then though. Could be other reasons . . . ;<) Gary ________________________________ " thelilacflower " <thelilacflower Vegetarian Group Sun, November 15, 2009 10:08:25 AM Re: [veg_grp] Meat, Sugar, Bad temper Yes moderation is the key.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I am sorry but this is one of those things I do not believe is true. My mother, who was a meat eater, had a normal amount of sugar in her diet all her life.....she was one of the most even tempered people I have ever known. I had 5 daughters and two sons....all ate meat, and sugar growing up......only one of my sons is what you would call " hot tempered " and that is due to his father not to his diet....all of the rest of my kids are even tempered like my mother. Years ago, when the whole " kids get hyper from eating sugar " thing came out......I bought into it just like everyone else did.....then I started paying attention. My kids were not any more or any less hyper after Halloween, a birthday party, or any other special event where they were eating more candy or sweets than normal (and what I am saying here is that none of my kids were what you call " hyper " , they were normal active, fun loving kids that were told to go play outside when they had excess energy to burn).....and remember, please, that I have seven children born over 4 decades (from 1965 to 1990) that I have observed. I also have 13 grandchildren.....12 grandsons and one granddaughter......when they are all together, sometimes they are like wild indians and sometimes they all sit and play calmly......I don't think sugar plays a big part in how they act but I do think not having a balanced diet will affect behavior to a certain extent. But to say that eating meat and sugars, of any kind, causes you to have a bad temper.....come on.....use common sense....have you never known a person who ate a vegetarian diet to have a bad temper.....or an even temper?.....just like other people? I have. This is one concept I will have to pass on because I am 62 years old and have known many meat eaters and non-meat eaters in my life.......they were ALL normal people who sometimes got upset but were most of the time even-normal tempered people. I don't think eating meat or sugar makes a person aggressive in any way......everyone has a right to their own opinion....this is mine and I am sticking with it. Nancy C.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Heck, a little bit of sugar improves my mood considerably some days! Same with caffeine -- but only a little.
