Happy Holidays-A Heart Attack Waiting to Happen

 

A 50 year old healthy male is a CEO of a big company. He leads a stressful life every day. He has no risk factors, no family history, and exercises regularly and has been taking cholesterol medications. He goes on a trip to India for 2 weeks. There he eats foods high in sugar, starch and bad fats everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner. He gets on the plane and flies to Houston. He gets back to his stressful work after a long trip. He attends a conference. Half way through the conference, he develops chest tightness. He has a heart attack and dies. He had a stress test done 3 weeks prior to going to India. What happened? How did a person with no risk factors who exercises regularly drop dead from a heart attack even after having a normal stress test 3 weeks ago?

In a normal artery, no plaque is formed. Therefore, stress test is normal.

2 weeks of constant eating of sugar, starch, and bad fat – causes inflammation in the arterial wall. It stimulates the growth of fats inside the plaque making it softer. In addition, plaque has a thin cap which is more likely to rupture.

 

He takes a transcontinental flight. Plaque is subjected to stress and gets destabilized due to change in time zone and disturbances in circadian rhythm.

He gets back to work. Subjected to more stress. THE PLAQUE CRACKS. Plaque contents pour out into the arterial lumen and make contact with the blood. Blood clot is formed which cuts off the blood supply to the heart muscle. This is when a heart attack happens!

This is a perfect picture of how diet, stress and inflammation cause plaque to become unstable, rupture and cause heart attack.

This could be one of the reasons why 40 % of all the heart attacks happen in the last 2 weeks of December and first 2 weeks of January. Celebrations and parties during these holidays make foods high in sugar and starch in the form of cookies, chocolates, ice creams and desserts readily available. The relative change in diet starting from Halloween, followed by Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year could explain the inflammation that triggers the plaque to rupture and lead to heart attack.

 

REMEMBER : GLUTTONY IS A SIN.

 

What is Cholesterol?

What is LDL?

L for lousy or bad cholesterol, you can call it garbage; GOAL: Less than 60

The most common cause for elevation of bad or lousy cholesterol is the combination of sugar, starch and saturated fat (the bad fat) in your diet. They make a big mess inside the artery by leaving their trash to pile up and form plaques. Keeping this in mind, a high LDL cholesterol increase your chances of developing heart disease and stroke.The lower the LDL, the longer you live.

Next question to ask is, If your LDL is 110, how much of it is big in size and how much of it is small in size?

LDL IIIa + IIIb represents the percentage of the intermediate size from the total number of LDL. Meanwhile, IVb shows the percentage of small dense LDL. Imagine the large fluffy LDL as rocks, the intermediate LDL as sand particles, and small dense LDL as fine salt. If I were to hold them in my hand, which do you think would go through my fingerseasily? Sand and salt will filter through my hand and fall down. Now imagine the same scenario where the artery is loaded with different LDL particle sizes. What happens to the intermediate and small dense particles of the LDL? They tend to filter through the vessel wall. This is dangerous because it makes the formation of plaque much faster. The combination of sugar and starch in your diet tend to make the bad cholesterol smaller in size. Your goal here should be less than 15%. Reddy Bread can help you achieve this goal.

What is Apo B? It is also referred to as the bad of the bad. B for bad.

It is the true representation of all the bad particles you have in your blood. You need to ask your doctor to check it.Goal is to keep it less than 60.

What raises Apo B?

Mostly Sugar, Starch and some bad fats - Saturated fats.

What are deadly fats in my diet?

They are also known as trans fats. Stay away from them.

Do you have the deadly cholesterol called Lp (a) which puts you at a very high risk for heart disease and strokes?

Lp (a) is inherited so it is important that everyone in your family get tested if your level is high. High levels of Lp (a) can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke by promoting plaque and clot formation. It is so predictive of heart disease that it has been called "the heart attack cholesterol". Lp (a) alone can raise your risk of heart attack by as much as 70 percent. Your goal here should be less than 30.

If your HDL (also referred to as garbage trucks) is 45, how much of it is large in size and how much of it is small in size? Do you want large garbage trucks or small garbage trucks?

HDL 2b is the large fluffy one which has been associated with 'reverse cholesterol transport', meaning this is the particle that helps pick up the bad cholesterol from the plaques in the arteries and dumps it to the liver. The more large garbage trucks you have, the cleaner your arteries. HDL 2b helps accelerate reversal of heart disease. Your goal here should be more than 30 percent.

Do you have a gene that puts you at very high risk for Alzheimer's and heart disease?

If you have APO E4, you are certainly at high risk for developing Alzheimer's and heart disease. Avoiding sugar, starch and saturated fat in the diet can decrease your risk. YOU SHOULD NOT CONSUME ALCOHOL IF YOU ARE POSITIVE FOR APO E4 GENEOTYPE. IF YOU HAVE APO E2, THEN DRINKING A GLASS OF WINE OR DAILY CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL IS HEART PROTECTIVE.

Is your vitamin D level normal?

GOAL: More than 30

The best way to get vitamin D is to either take vitamin D pills or expose your skin to the Sun for 10 to 20 minutes a day or 30 minutes on the week end. Check your vitamin D levels every 3 months. Keep your levels above 60, if possible. I will discuss Vitamin D in greater detail in subsequent articles.

Do you have a gene (KIF 6 GENE) that helps you respond to cholesterol medications well?

KIF 6 is the gene that determines your response to cholesterol medications. If you are KIF 6 positive, then you will respond well to cholesterol medications compared to the person who does not have the gene.

Is the protein that makes the good cholesterol low?

APO A1 is a protein produced in the liver and gut in which the good cholesterol is made from. It makes your garbage truck more efficient in cleaning the arteries. The higher your APO A1, the better it is. Low level of ApoA1 is associated with a diet high in sugars, starches and saturated fats which leads to early heart and blood vessel diseases.

Your goal should be more than 150.

What is your uric acid level?

Uric acid is a substance produced from the breakdown of proteins in the foods we eat. Overtime, too much uric acid in the blood can lead to the formation of needle- like crystals in the joints that causes gout. Most people with heart disease including those who died of it had high levels of uric acid. Studies have showed that even those uric acid levels that are not high enough to cause gout, can still lead to heart disease. Therefore, checking for uric acid levels is just as important. High uric acid levels are also found in other conditions such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol, high triglycerides), obesity and insulin resistance syndrome which are all known risk factors of heart disease. Changing your diet would help decrease it.

Your goal should be less than 7.

Do you have any inflammation in your arteries?

LpPLa2 is a test that specifically detects inflammations of the artery walls. It is a predictor of heart attack and stroke. Diet rich in sugar, starch and saturated fat increase LpPLA2 level. If there is sudden increase in your LpPLA2 that tells you that your diet for the past 6 months has been high in sugar, starch and saturated fat. Now, you have increased inflammation in your arterial wall. It signifies that there is a plaque somewhere ready to rupture and cause heart attack or stroke.

This could be one of the reasons why 40% of all the heart attacks happen in the last 2 weeks of December and first 2 weeks of January. The relative change in diet starting from Halloween, followed by Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year could explain the elevations in inflammatory markers. Celebrations and parties during these holidays make foods high in sugar and starch in the form of cookies, chocolates, ice creams and desserts readily available.

Your goal should be less than 150.

Is there any stress or strain on your heart?

BNP is a hormone that is released from the cells of the heart muscle in response to ongoing stress or strain in the heart. A high level is a warning signal that your heart is being overworked on a continual basis. It is usually seen in patients who have a weak heart, increased fluid retention, and people at risk for having heart attacks. By looking for the cause and correcting the cause, you can bring the BNP level back to normal. ALSO IF YOU HAVE SLEEP APNEA YOUR BNP IS ELEVATED. WE WILL TALK ABOUT SLEEP APNEA AT A LATER DATE. Sleep Apnea puts an enormous strain on the heart every night when you are sleeping.

Less than 120 pg/ml = normal.

More than 120 pg/ml = there is stress or strain on the heart

What is your fasting insulin and blood sugar along with HbA1C?

Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas to regulate blood glucose. It stimulates all of the cells in your body, especially in your muscles and liver, to open up and take glucose in and use it as energy for daily functions. When you eat a lot of sugars and starches, you flood your blood with a lot of glucose. Your body will react by releasing more insulin. Having high insulin all the time is bad. When your cells are constantly exposed to high levels of insulin, they develop resistance. Insulin resistance syndrome or metabolic syndrome increases your risk for several chronic diseases such as heart disease, obesity, diabetes and cancers. Excessive eating of sugar and starch is the primary culprit in the development of insulin resistance. Eliminating these in your diet is the best way to stop its progression.

GOAL: Fasting insulin less than 10. Blood sugars less than 90. HbA1C less than 5.5

What is your C reactive protein level and what is the level of Lp Pla2 which is the marker for inflammation?

GOAL: C reactive protein less than 1.0. Lp PLA2 less than 150.

C reactive protein, also called CRP, is elevated if there is any inflammation in the body and that can include inflammation in the arteries. The Lp Pla2, also called PLAC test, is elevated if the is inflammation in the vessel wall. IT IS A SIGN THAT THERE IS A PLAQUE SOME WHERE IN THE ARTERIES THAT IS READY TO CRACK AND CAUSE A STROKE OR A HEART ATTACK. So ask for a PLAC test if your CRP is elevated.

What is your fibrinogen level?

GOAL: Should be less than 350

High levels of fibrinogen are an indication that you have some form of inflammation in your body and you are certainly at risk for increased blood clots. It is usually elevated in patients at risk for heart attacks or strokes and most patients with diabetes suggesting that diabetes is a inflammatory process and what keeps it burning? YES, A LOT OF SUGAR AND STARCH IN YOUR DIET.

What is your level of TSH?

GOAL: Less than 3.5.

If your TSH level is more than 5, you have hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid. If your TSH level is less than 0.1, you have hyperthyroidism or overactive Thyroid. If your TSH is high that certainly puts you at higher risk for heart disease.

 

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

A 50 YEAR OLD MALE WENT TO INDIA FOR 2 WEEKS. THERE HE ATE FOODS HIGH IN SUGAR, STARCH, AND BAD FATS FOR EVERY MEAL. HE GOT ON THE PLANE AND FLIES TO HOUSTON AND GOES TO WORK THE NEXT DAY. AT WORK HE DEVELOPS CHEST TIGHTNESS, HAS A MASSIVE HEART, AND DIES. HE HAD A STRESS TEST DONE NOT TOO LONG AGO AND IT WAS NORMAL. WHAT HAPPENED? HOW DID A PERSON WITH NO RISK FACTORS, A HEALTHY MALE WHO EXERCISES REGULARLY, AND HAS BEEN TAKING CHOLESTEROL MEDICATIONS HAVING NO FAMILY HISTORY DROP DEAD FROM A HEART ATTACK EVEN AFTER HAVING A NORMAL STRESS TEST 3 WEEKS BEFORE HE LEFT FOR INDIA?

STAY TOONED FOR THE ANSWER. REMEMBER GLUTTONY IS A SIN.

 

The Forbidden Tree and the Tree of Misery

As you see above the foods listed in the "Forbidden Tree" lead one to the out comes listed in the "Tree of Misery". Reddy Bread (Dr. Reddy's Pita Bread and Dr. Reddy's Tortillas/Rotis) are not part of the "Forbidden Tree" and they help you control blood sugar and live a healthier life!

Questions Presented to Dr. Reddy and His Answers:

Q. I heard on the radio that there is a test called A1C for diabetics and it will give indications to show the patients the likelihood of heart attack.  Could you explain to this please (from M.S., Sugar Land, TX)

A. Yes. The answers can be found in article I wrote earlier in great detail about HbA1C (Hemoglobin A1C). HbA1C and A1C are the same. The article is listed on this blog itself.

 

Q. I have blood pressure of 105/70.  I do not have any other medical problems that I am aware. Could you please write a series on blood pressure? Which is the most reliable, convenient and affordable blood pressure monitoring system that I can purchase for home use? (from K.A., Dallas,TX.)

A. I will be doing a series on blood pressure in the next couple of weeks where I will discuss issures pertaining to blood pressure in detail. Please stay tooned.

 

Q. I am 50 and my Cholesterol is 145 and HDL is above the recommended numbers.  I have done my annual cardiac test including stress test and is normal.  Ultrasound indicates minor plaque formation on the neck artery and I am taking "Crestor".  I get minor chest pain, sometimes on the right and other times on the left, but will go away in a minute or so.. (not severe).  Is this something needs to be worried? Please advise (from E.R. White Plains)

A. If the chest pain comes and goes and is mostly on the right side, lasts only a few seconds to a minute, is usually sharp or dull in nature and not associated with any difficulty in breathing, and does appear upon exertion, then ignore the symptom. I will be starting a article on cholesterol and the best way to reverse plaque. Please stay toned.

 

Q. I am lactose intolerant, but can take yogurt.  Is there any other milk product that is lactose free? (from M.G, Dallas, TX)

A. If you are lactose intolerant, you can have soy or almond milk, but be sure to choose the unsweetened milk.

 

Q. I read that you recommend using avocados.  But recently heard that the "Mexican" avocados contain a poisonous chemical and is not ideal.  I noticed that there are some small avocados available too.  Is one avocado better than other? (from S.R., Philadelphia)

A. I am currently not aware of any poisonous chemicals being used in avocados. There is no big difference in the nutritional quality between different avocados. I personally think the smaller ones taste better. Avocados, I think, taste even better when eaten with Dr Reddy's Pitas or Tortillas (Roti).

WHAT I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CHOLESTEROL WHEN I GO SEE MY DOCTOR?

What do I need to know about Cholesterol?
As a patient, you should know that Cholesterol is good and bad. Why good, because we need it to
survive. Why bad, because when the blood levels are too high due to
bad cholesterol being elevated and good Cholesterol being low it leads
to medical problems.

What is a Lipid Profile?
It is a blood test that your doctor orders to see what your Total
Cholesterol is along with HDL, which is the Good Cholesterol also called
Healthy cholesterol or Happy cholesterol or Garbage truck. H stands for
healthy or happy. The lipid profile also provides information on your Triglycerides levels. These
are called fats in the blood. I call them the ugly Cholesterol.
Triglycerides change with every meal. If you eat a lot of Sugar and
Starch it will raise your triglycerides. That is why you are advised to
go in after fasting for more than 12 hours to get your lipid profile
done. Total Cholesterol = HDL + LDL + TRIG/5. The LDL which are the bad
cholesterol also called Lousy Cholesterol or Garbage can. The lower the
LDL the longer you live. The higher the HDL the longer you live. THE
LOWER THE HDL AND THE THE HIGHER THE LDL THE QUICKER YOU KICK THE
BUCKET.
GOAL: HDL SHOULD BE MORE THAN 60. LDL SHOLUD BE LESS THAN 100 AND PREFERABLY LESS THAN 60 AND
TRIGLYCERIDES SHOULD BE LESS THAN 150 PREFERABLY LESS THAN 60.
**Reddy Bread can help you achieve these goals**

If my lab just shows Total Cholesterol and HDL what should I do?
TOTAL CHOL MINUS HDL(GOOD CHOL) WHAT IS LEFT IS ALL BAD. Ex: total chol
of 200 and HDL of 30. Then 200 - 30 is 170. This is called the NON HDL.
I would want that to be less than 100 preferably less than 80.

Next time when you are at your Doctor’s office, you need to look at the
numbers yourself and should know that LDL is lousy cholesterol and HDL is the
happy cholesterol. Keep the happy or garbage trucks high and lousy or garbage
cans low.

How often should I get my cholesterol checked?
I recommend every 3 months if not, at least every 6 months and keep a
log of it.

My Cholesterol is low so I do not have to worry, correct?
Wrong. 80% of patients who develop heart disease have normal
cholesterol levels or low cholesterol levels.

Then what should I do to find out more about Cholesterol and my risks
for developing Heart disease?
You should get an ADVANCED LIPID PROFILE.

What is an advanced lipid profile?
It is a special test not routinely done in most Doctors offices. This
test gives you more detailed information about your Cholesterol and the
size of cholesterol and the true bad cholesterol in your blood along
with some of the known Genetic factors.

Who should get it?
Every one should get the advanced test at least once.

Do all the labs do the test or is there a specific place to get the advanced lipid profile done?
There are three major labs doing the tests.

1) VAP 2) NMR 3) BERKLEY HEART LABS. THERE ARE OTHER SMALLER LABS BUT
ARE NOT WELL KNOWN. You can ask your Doctor which lab he/she is comfortable
with and if he does not recommend it or know of it or does not do it
then GO FIND A DOCTOR WHO DOES IT.

Why is it so important that I get this test done?
Well if you do not know what abnormalities you have in your labs that
can cause plaque and heart disease then how are you going to take
preventive steps or how are you going to treat the problem.

Which lab do you use?
I routinely do BERKLEY HEART LABS. Reason being, I have been doing this
test on my patients for about 12 years. I like the lab because they are
very particular about quality control and all the samples are processed
at one lab in California. They also give additional Genetic information
which the other two labs do not offer.

If my cholesterol is low what abnormalities should I be looking for and
why?
If your LDL is 110 how much of it is big in size and how much of it is
small in size?

How much of the bad Cholesterol is truly bad?

Do you have the deadly Cholesterol called Lp (a) which puts you at a
very high risk for Heart disease and Strokes?

If your HDL is 45 how much of it is large in size and how much of it is
small in size? Do you want large garbage trucks or small garbage trucks?

Do you have a gene that puts you at a very high risk for Alzheimer’s and
heart disease?

Is your Vitamin D level normal?

Do you have a gene that helps you respond to cholesterol medications
well?

Is the protein that makes the good Cholesterol low?

What is your Uric acid level?

Do you have any inflammation in your arteries?

Is there any stress or strain on your Heart?

What is your fasting Insulin and blood sugar along with HbA1C?

What is your C reactive protein level and what is the level of Lp Pla2
which is the marker for inflammation?

What is your Fibrinogen level?

What is your level of TSH?

DO YOU HAVE ANSWERS FOR ALL THE ABOVE QUESTIONS?

GO FIND OUT WHAT YOUR GOOD (HDL), BAD (LDL), UGLY(TRIGS), AND DEADLY
CHOLESTEROL (Lp a) LEVELS ARE?

THE SECRET OF CONTENTMENT IS A FULL STOMACH AND AN EMPTY BLADDER.

CHEW ON THIS:

THE REASON FOR DOING THIS IS TO HIGH LIGHT ALL THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH EATING SUGAR AND STARCH ALONG WITH SATURATED FATS. THE GOAL IS TO AVOID THEM FOR A HEALTHY LIFE.

ELIMINATE SUGAR AND STARCH, DECREASE SATURATED FATS (S.S.S)

A Typical Day, A Typical Patient

Today I am going to talk about my daily experience in the office with
patients.

A couple, both working in the medical field, are sitting in my office for a cardiac evaluation. When I look at their medications, I realize that both of them are Diabetics. The first question I ask them is......

Why do you think you have diabetes?
It is hereditary, both my parents have diabetes.

I ask again...
Why do you have Diabetes?
There is a long pause and the answer is, “I do not know. May be because I do not exercise or may be it is stress or may be it is genetic.”

What causes adult onset Diabetes?
[Now there is a total silence.]
What do you think that you have been eating that is causing you
Diabetes?
[Again there is a long pause.]

What do you eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
Oatmeal or cereal with skim milk or fruits like an apple and a banana or orange juice. For lunch we have whole wheat chapatti(Indian bread similar to a tortilla) with dal(lentils) or rice and dal, and for dinner we eat the same thing again. Sometimes we have sandwich for lunch.

What is the problem in Diabetes?
High blood sugar.

What causes the blood sugar to be high?
If you eat a lot of Sugar and I add Starch to their statement.

Then I ask them what is sugar and starch and what foods contain them your diet?
[Again there is total silence]
I start telling them about all the food items that contain sugar and starch their eyes are now bulging. For the first time they are realizing that every thing they have been eating for the last 30 years was only empty calories in the form of sugar and starch.

If there is a fire and you want to put it out do you pour water or gasoline?
The answer comes back, water.

Then why are you adding gasoline to the fire called Diabetes which is slowly cooking you from head to toe by eating sugars and starches every meal?
They are stunned for a few moments. No one told us that this was bad for our health.

Then I ask what happens if you do not eat S and S?
Our blood sugars will come down.

If your blood sugars are normal and you start exercising will you need
medications to keep your blood sugar under control?
No.

Then why don’t you give up sugar and starch?
If we do not eat S,S then what can we eat? (we are so accustomed to eating sugars and starches that we really do not know what to eat) The next statement is all my friends and family eat this, how can it be bad? Just because every one eats sugars and starch does not make it healthy.

How long before you have all the complications of Diabetes?
No answer.

How long before all your kids develop Diabetes and other complications?
No answer.

Why is your belly so big and hard?
I do not know. I have been exercising and I continue to gain weight and my belly is bigger by the year, why?

EXPLANATION:
When you eat sugars and starch your blood sugars go up. You take medications to control your blood sugar. What happens to your blood sugar? It gets converted to fat with the help of Insulin and gets stored in your abdomen. Once it gets into the abdomen it stays there.
That explains all the uncles with big bellies and full faces with cheeks like a toad. There is fat being deposited in your Parotid glands in the cheeks, in the liver causing fatty liver and in the abdomen causing a big belly.

In 1920, a British doctor goes to South Africa. There he meets a group of Indians who have been exported from India to South Africa to do hard labor in Sugarcane farms. There was no electricity and no tractors to do all the hard work. He notices that their Calorie intake was about 1600
Calories a day. To his amazement instead of finding the Indians skinny he found them all to be obese and they all were suffering from Diabetes.
He made a powerful statement: AVOID SUGARS AND STARCHES. THEY ARE NOT
HEALTHY FOODS. Now 90 years later and count less number of people who died prematurely from Diabetes, we still have not learned the lesson.Why?

BECAUSE WE ARE ADDICTED TO SUGAR AND STARCH. THEY ARE THE COMFORT FOODS AND THEY ARE MORE ADDICTING THAN COCAINE. PLUS IT IS OK TO EAT SUGAR AND STARCH SINCE EVERY ONE WE KNOW EATS THEM AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG ABOUT IT. BUT IN ACTUALITY WE ARE KILLING OUR SELVES AND OUR KIDS PREMATURELY.

In 1980, in Hyderabad, I was watching a show on TV. Umregar, the cricketer, was being interviewed. He was asked what his secret was for looking young and healthy even though he was 80 years of age. His answer was: In 1963, I gave up three S's. SUGAR, STARCH, SALT. In my book, he is a very wise man. If in those days he realized that he does not need sugar and starch along with salt to live and lead a normal life then what is wrong with us? Why are we not doing it?

Back to my couple,

What happens to your eyes, nerves, kidneys and immunity when your HbA1c is more than 7 and your blood sugar is more than 150?
No answer.

I tell them to keep their HbA1c less than 5.5, preferably less than 5 and fasting blood sugar less than 90. When your blood sugar is high the white blood cells, which are the cops in the blood, become drunk and inefficient. Imagine you have a break-in and you call 911 and you find out that the cop is drunk. Who can help you? Similarly, when your WBC’s are not effective, your immunity drops and your risk for infections goes up and your wounds do not heal quickly. When your sugar levels are high, there is significant damage to the eyes leading to blindness, damage to the kidneys leading to kidney failure and nerve damage leading to severe neuropathy which leads to a lot of pain in your limbs.

Imagine how much money you will be making for all the Doctors and their families, the Hospitals and the Drug companies. They all love you. You are the Golden Goose laying Golden eggs. Such a noble cause that you are willing to sacrifice your life in ignorance for these institutions. GOOD JOB.

SEE THE PICTURE
That is your story.




Imagine your body is a Dam. When you are born it is empty. As you grow old and as you eat sugar and starch you are collecting water in the dam. You can never empty it. You are the project engineer. You control the amount of water (sugar and starch) that comes into the dam. Once the
dam is full it starts to over flow. That is when you have developed Diabetes. Meaning every time you eat sugar and starch you are now overflowing. If you stop adding water then there is no over flow, that means you have contained the Diabetes. Now down stream you have a 20 million dollar home which is your body and in the yard you have your 2 lovely grandchildren, eyes and kidneys, playing. Now, when your dam is over flowing, you are flooding your home and drowning your grand kids who happen to be your eyes and kidneys. Who is one controlling the amount of water coming into the Dam? You

WHAT IS SUGAR AND WHERE DO YOU FIND IT?
WHAT IS STARCH AND WHERE DO YOU FIND IT?
EVERY TIME YOU SIT DOWN TO EAT IF IT IS SUGAR SPIT IT OUT AND IF IT IS STARCH DO NOT EAT IT.
