How many cookies should I use as a meal supplement?

The number of cookies that will be eaten as a meal supplement really depends on the person. Most people find that one cookie and a glass or two of liquids satisfies their hunger.

Heavy eaters may wish to eat both cookies in a package at one sitting. Many people use the cookie in place of their normal snacks (which are often packed with sugar). Doing so allows them to reduce the total amount of calories that they consume daily without feeling as though they have sacrificed sweet treats. By reducing the number of calories from excessive snacking they are able to achieve their weight loss goals in a more timely fashion.

It is important to note that the cookie isn't simply for weight loss. Diabetics can learn to integrate it into their normally nutritious meal plans, and those who find that they are eating too much sugar can use it as a healthy alternative (this includes children). Finally, those who need to increase their fiber intake will find the Sugar Busters cookies to be a great tasting way to do this as well.

What drink should be consumed with the cookie(s): whole milk, skim milk, water, tea, coffee, diet drink, etc.?

Almost any liquid is fine. In general a person should drink 8 to 16 ounces of liquid per cookie.

If you drink milk we suggest that you chose 1% or lower.

Note about Polydextrose:

The ingredient Polydextrose should not be confused with dextrose.

Dextrose, on the other hand, is a simple sugar that is derived entirely from corn. It is also known as glucose.

Product description

The Sugar Busters Cookie has been endorsed by physicians with an expertise in the fields of endocrinology, thoracic, cardiac, and vascular medicine, as well as gastroenterology and hepatology.

The Sugar Busters Cookie has been designed to provide a healthy alternative to the junk foods that many people eat.

The Sugar Busters Cookie was developed to:

• help people break their sugar habit
• help people lose weight
• provide a good source of fiber

As such, the Sugar Busters Cookies can help people who wish to reduce their intake of refined sugars and carbohydrates (they are sugar-free and have no refined white flour), as well as overall calories.

Since these cookies taste sweet (without sugar), are packed with fiber (helps a person feel full), and aren’t extremely low in calories (real substance), no one feels "cheated" when eating them. They are also a wonderful snack alternative to sugary treats for both children and adults.

All of the facts above are important because, on average, Americans consume over 100 pounds of refined sugar per year. Many experts feel that this excessive amount of sugar can lead to a number of different disorders such as obesity and subsequently diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, and other disorders. Also, it is not uncommon for the fast foods eaten by consumers to provide an excess of 1500 calories per meal. This one meal might constitute 75% or more of the calories needed per day for either a man or a woman.

Considering the fact that another 500 to 2000 calories may be consumed in addition to that one meal, it’s easy to understand why at any given time nearly 60% of all Americans are trying to lose weight. Finally, there are millions of Americans who are attempting to control their blood sugar levels, but who normally have to sacrifice sweet tasting treats to do so.

Many people skip meals on a daily basis in an attempt to lose weight. This is not a healthy way to lose weight and now more than ever, it is not necessary. The use of Sugar Busters Cookies with a glass of skim milk or water will get the satisfaction of chewing (no more lunch through a straw).

A note for diabetics

During the course of developing the Sugar Busters Cookie, the manufacturer found that there were indeed many different sweetening agents available. One of the primary reasons that Splenda® (or sucralose) was chosen is because it is a very sweet substance that takes only trace amounts to sweeten a cookie.

The safety of sweetening agents is of the utmost concern to those of us who are health conscious. In the case of Splenda®, it has been tested in over 100 studies during the last 20 years. What these studies have confirmed is that it is completely safe.

One of the latest studies (published in Food and Chemical Toxicology, July 2000) examined the safety of repeated doses of sucralose over a long period. Most toxicity and safety studies examine a single dose or repeated doses over a short time span. This study was important because it studied tolerance of frequent exposure over several weeks. Healthy human adult volunteers received sucralose or fructose twice a day.

The amount of sucralose fed ranged from 125 mg/day for the first few weeks up to 500 mg/day for the final weeks. One teaspoon of sucralose is 500 mg, which is a much larger amount than is used to sweeten the Sugar Busters Cookies.

The results of this study showed that there were no adverse experiences or clinically detectable effects attributable to sucralose. Hematology, serum biochemistry, urinalysis, and EKG tracings were not affected by sucralose consumption. Blood samples were taken and showed no build-up or accumulation of sucralose. This study was reported by the Iowa State University Extension ‘News and Reports’ on October 20, 2000.

It is also worthy to note that for all food additives, including nonnutritive sweeteners such as sucralose, the FDA determines an acceptable daily intake (ADI).

ADI is defined as the amount of a food additive that can be safely consumed on a daily basis over a person’s lifetime without any adverse effects and includes a 100-fold safety factor. Actual intake by individuals with blood sugar disorders, such as diabetes, for all nonnutritive sweeteners is well below the ADI.

As a final note, while they do not actively campaign for the use of one sweetener over another, the following organizations do support the use and safety of Splenda®:

• the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
• the World Health Organization (WHO)
• the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)
• the Joint Evaluation Committee on Food Additives (JECFA)
• the Expert Committee on Food Additives
• 30 other national and international health ministries.

Furthermore, it is also supported for use by the non-profit consumer watchdog organization the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), which has complained continuously about safety issues surrounding other sweeteners.

Are the Sugar Busters Cookies truly "diabetic friendly" since they contain a seemingly large amount of carbohydrates per cookie?

The reason for the confusion as to what is and what isn’t diabetic friendly is probably due in large part to the misunderstanding as to how specific carbohydrate sources affect the body. Typically those who suffer from blood sugar and insulin disorders are taught an easy to understand carbohydrate counting system.

Carbohydrate counting is a system that teaches the individual to calculate the entire amount of carbs that each meal contains. There is no distinction made between the carbohydrates found in soft drinks, candy bars, fruits, vegetables or grains. All carbohydrates are considered equal. Therefore 35 grams of carbohydrates gained from eating maple syrup is considered the same as 35 grams of carbohydrates gained from eating beans. Since the carbohydrate counting system is simple has been extremely desirable for those people who don’t have the time or the inclination to find out exactly how specific carbohydrates might influence blood sugar spikes. However, those who have studied the glycemic index of specific carbohydrates recognize that carbohydrates are not all created equal.

The confusion becomes even greater when people are told that gram for gram both simple and complex carbohydrates both boost blood sugar levels approximately the same amount since both are converted into glucose by the body. Again, general statements such as this fail to clarify that there is a definite difference between the way specific carbohydrates (whether classified as simple or complex) cause blood sugar levels to fluctuate.

Foods that are higher on the glycemic index cause the blood sugar of a person to spike dramatically and quickly. On the other hand, those foods that rank lower on the glycemic index don’t have such a negative impact on blood sugar fluctuations. Both reactions are due to the way your body processes (breaks down or digests) the carbohydrates that you eat.

It is also important to note that your body operates largely on the fuel gained from carbohydrates. You brain, for instance, gets nearly 100% of the fuel it needs to function properly from the glucose that is produced from digested carbohydrates. Without adequate carbohydrates you will most certainly notice a drop in both physical and mental energy.

As Dr. Morris Bethea has stated: “Our bodies are made to run off sugar. We can’t live without it. So you want a diet with satisfactory carbohydrates – but you want those that modulate insulin secretion downward.”

By choosing foods, like the Sugar Busters Cookies, that don’t breakdown into glucose as quickly as other carbohydrate-rich foods helps to control the amount of insulin that is needed to regulate blood sugar levels. Regulation of blood sugar levels and the subsequent storage of excess glucose that is produce by your body when high glycemic foods are eaten can also help you reduce the amount of fat on your body.

Diabetics can certainly integrate the Sugar Busters Cookies into their normally nutritious meals.

The Sugar Busters Cookies are higher in calories than I expected. Is there a reason for this?

While the Sugar Busters Cookies are higher in calories than a normal cookie they also have no sugar and they are an excellent source of fiber which makes them a great snack alternative to say a bowl of ice cream. The calorie count is just right for people who are looking for a way to lose weight without feeling starved.

As you probably know, very low calorie diets (VLCD) don’t work long term. The reason VLCDs fail is because the people who try them are depriving their body needed calories. You won’t feel deprived when you eat the Sugar Busters Cookies. Even if a person eats an entire package of Sugar Busters Cookies, they can still eat two nutritious meals and healthy snacks and be able to reduce their overall caloric intake so that they lose unwanted fat. So, if you are looking for a smarter way to "spend" 150 calories, the Sugar Busters Cookies certainly fit the bill.
