This article aims to provide the reader with a set of tools (knowledge) that can be applied to achieve a blood sugar of less than 154.8 mg/dL (8.6 mmol/L) after one hour of eating. That’s because a blood sugar of more than 155 (rounded off) is associated with many common and deadly diseases. I wrote…
The blood-sugar level one hour after a meal (one-hour post-prandial blood sugar or 1PPS ) has been shown to predict future type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and many other common conditions that can drain time and treasure in old age. I wrote about them in Low One-Hour Post-Prandial Blood Sugar after One Cup of Rice. The…
This article shows presents a study from the Cleveland Clinic that shows that people who are up-to-date with the mRNA COVID-19 shots are more susceptible to a COVID-19 infection. Recently I published The Devastating Effects of IgG4 after the mRNA COVID shots which showed that one consequence is the increased risk of SARS-pCoV-2 reinfection. The recently published…
This article discusses the adverse health effects of the IgG4 that can develop after mRNA COVID-19 jabs. Ig stands for immunoglobulin, which is another name for antibodies. There are five major types of immunoglobulins. They are G, A, M, D, and E, designated as IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, and IgE. They have different roles. IgAs are…
Yesterday I posted that A High One-hour After-Meal Blood Sugar Test Can Lead to Several Deadly Conditions. In it, I showed that a blood sugar of more than 154.8 mg/dL or 8.6 mmol/L is highly predictive of the development not only of future type 2 or adult-onset diabetes but also cardiovascular disease and others, including higher all-cause mortality. …
This article presents studies showing that the blood sugar level one hour after eating (post-prandial blood sugar) is highly predictive of many common diseases. At least here in the US, blood sugar levels at home can be easily checked with an inexpensive glucometer that can be bought without needing a prescription. I heard that a…
This article discusses some of the beneficial effects of vinegar. A high blood sugar of more than 140 mg/dl or 7.8 mmol/L two after a meal (post-prandial) is predictive of atherosclerosis in everyone (diabetics and non-diabetics) The study that made that conclusion is in a previous article. After-meal high blood sugar predicts Atherosclerosis better than…
A study compared the mortality risks of COVID-19 mRNA and vector-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccinees. However, examining the paper’s data shows increased cardiovascular mortality among recipients of the COVID mRNA shots. The study obtained the data for the mRNA vaccines” from the Pfizer, Moderna, and  CureVac COVID-19 trials. For the adenovirus vector-based COVID-19 jabs, info from the…
This article presents a study showing that doing the following on white bread can lower the blood sugar response after eating it.

The result is the immediate release and…
Previously, I wrote about the importance of eating breakfast in lowering blood sugar the entire day — Eating rather than skipping breakfast results in lower blood sugars the whole day. This article presents a study that shows a high-protein breakfast lowers the blood sugar of people with type 2 diabetes for the whole day. The…
This article presents four studies conducted among healthy people, those with metabolic syndrome and those with type 2 diabetes, showing that eating breakfast results in better blood sugar levels for the whole day.
