"Whoa there big mama!!!! She's lying to herself or her fans when she says diet is only "part" of the problem. It's ALL of the problem. I nearly got into trouble with rising blood-sugar levels, but when I cut out most carbohydrates (mostly bread, rice, and sugary soda), the problem disappeared in six months. I also lost a lot of weight. And, I agree that she's double-dipping. Watch her show and learn how to make super-fatty goods, buy her cookbooks and learn how to make fatty foods, and then buy her diabetes medicine and blood pressure medicine to control your fat-induced health problems."

Fat does not make one diabetic.

Excess carbs? Yes. Fat? No.

Yea she definitely cooks with a lot of excess ingredients besides fat.

1/17/2012 4:58:07 PM

paula deen riding things resurgence coming soon

1/17/2012 4:58:50 PM

Does it have to be something that was unexpected for it to truly be breaking news?

1/17/2012 5:31:38 PM

The solution must be, more butter.

1/17/2012 5:36:13 PM

i one time watched this woman make a casserole whose main ingredient was a box of glazed krispy kreme doughnuts.

1/17/2012 5:36:48 PM

1/17/2012 5:37:10 PM

1/17/2012 5:37:57 PM

"Chef Anthony Bourdain isn't one to mince words when it comes to his nemesis Paula Deen, who announced this week she has been diagnosed with diabetes. After announcing she was teaming up with a drug company to promote a diabetes medication, Bourdain tweeted a thinly-veiled diss at the Food Network star who is known for her fattening recipes. "Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later," he wrote. But Bourdain was quick to clarify his criticism of Deen. "For the record: Never called anybody a 'diabetic scam artist,'" he wrote in response to a TMZ headline about his earlier tweet."

technically you are correct with the carb intake but it is the excess fat that the body can't get rid of that crowds around the insulin hormone and the nutrient cells to prevent insulin from getting to the nutrient cells to open the doors to let the nutrients in the cell. Fat crowds it out and slows down the mechanism which in turn causes nutrient cells to die.

Deen responds: "I just live, ya'll"


I mean, it did take 60+ years for her to be diagnosed, kinda impressive actually

I watched True Life: I'm a Diabetic last night

good timing mtv...good timing

1/19/2012 10:51:25 AM

I mean I like Anthony Bordain, but as much as he glorifies unhealthy living I'm surprised he has a problem with her.

That sounds horribly disgusting.

I can see your point, but to be fair, he doesn't market his unhealthy habits as virtuous. She's also a corporate whore, and her brand of cooking is to use pre-cooked, processed, and wholly unhealthy ingredients, in general. It's a disgraceful way to teach people to cook, and absolutely contributes to our obesity problem

He does market them as cool and fun though, which is just as dangerous. Besides the heavy drinking and smoking, he eats plenty of things (including processed food since he has such a huge thing for street vendor hot dogs) just as unhealthy as what she makes.

enjoying processed foods every now and then is miles apart from basing your career off them and teaching people to rely on them for their own cooking

1/19/2012 2:36:41 PM

I've watched her show many times before and don't remember this being anywhere near the problem you are making it.

She's far from someone like Sandra Lee or Rachel Ray as far as including pre-cooked or processed food. And when she does it's normally because the pre-packaged food isn't that much different and is much easier than totally homemade (like pie crusts).

1/19/2012 2:40:58 PM

Yeah to be honest I haven't even watched her show or anything, so you may be right. Just going off what I've heard Bourdain say.

1/19/2012 2:41:51 PM

his books glorify cocaine use so he has no room to talk... that said, i hate paula deen

1/19/2012 9:05:43 PM

well he doesn't also pitch detox centers or rehab clinics so it's not really the same

1/19/2012 9:44:02 PM

^^^^ Sandra Lee is the worst. Somehow mixing sour cream and a packet of dry onion soup mix warrants its own cooking show. The second half of the show is mixing cream cheese with bottled salsa to put 'a Spanish flair' on your 'cooking'.
