All I know is the colonoscopy stuff leaves you on the toilet until you're completely bare... it's like a fiber overdose.
What is the purpose of the stuff you have to drink hummy?

The stuff you drink is for a diabetes test.
It's to verify whether you are diabetic or not.
Basically they make you drink this concentrated drink.
I dunno if you know what coridial is. But that's basically what it is.
Its like the syrup of a drink before you add water to it lol.
Well here... They take your blood glucose before you start the test and after you've fasted 12 hours. And then they make you drink that stuff.. Take your bloods again... And then make you wait and hour and take your bloods again. A person who isn't diabetic and whose pancreas/insulin is working - bloods would be normal after this hour. A diabetic's however will remain high.

Yep.
Well they have to test how well the insulin breaks down the sugar. If your sugars are high, then it's obviously not doing it's job. Therefore your most probably a diabetic.

Looked it over and laughing cow is about... 1.5 grams of fat per ounce. So that sounds fine. Says they reduced it from 4g to 1.5g

I'm not diabetic, but I recommend all people here to watch "forks over knives" . It's a documentary about doctors that recommend people. especially diabetic people or people with heart problems to move to plant and whole wheat based diet.
Meat and especially red meat (when you consume in large portions) are unhealthy for your heart. Especially diary products. You can get protein and calcium from plants, nuts, beans, stuff like that. For people who have problems with b12, you can get supplements.
Perhaps to some of you this sounds strange, but they got the idea from the classic Chinese diet - their main foods were plants and rice, and they ate meat in such small portions, that the western portion of meat per person can be divided by 4 for the Chinese people. Yeah, we eat TOO much meat. Oh and - Diary products were never included in their menu. Anyway, the doctors made a research and found out that only about 1% of all Chinese people had cancer of some sort, the % of people who had heart attacks was so small compared to western countries, and almost none had diabetes type 2.
Anyway, this diet is pretty strict, I agree, because it is vegan based diet. But I still thought to bring it up, some food for thought. Even if you're not exactly eating only plants, try to eat small portions of meat in your menu, don't eat red meat at all - it's unhealthy in so many ways... if you still decide to eat meat, so in moderation. Don't add too many oil in your food, try eating only breast chicken and fish. About diary products - It's a LIE that they're healthy for you. None of them are healthy. Not even those healthy "yogurts". It's true that they're full with calcium and iron, but our body mechanism doesn't digest diary products sufficiently enough - so what actually happen when we digest diary products - not only we lose pf the diary product's properties, diary products actually weaken our bones, rather the other way around. To understand this better, google it, or watch the documentary. Eggs are healthy, but again, try not to eat more than 2 a day. They're still full of cholesterol.
