If a healthy person eats chocolate for diabethics, with insulin and fructose, will he become ill?

Can he develop diabethes from eating diet-chocolate? Is there any health-risks in eating chocolate with insulin for non-diabethiks?If a healthy person eats chocolate for diabethics, with insulin and fructose, will he become ill?
Firstly, allow me to clear your misconception.





Diabetes chocolate are much lower in calories. The sweet taste is from a sugar subsitute, aspartame. It does not contain any insulin.





In fact, there are absolutely no food that contain insulin, because insulin is available only from injectable route eg subcutaneously. It's chemically unstable and useless, not effective in other form, eg add into food.





Diabetic must reduce their calories intake. If not they may suffer potential life threatening complications such as high/low blood sugar level.





So, those in food business, manufacture (esp sweet) food using sugar subsitute. This way, diabetics can still enjoy sweet food and not suffer any problems.





Diabetes aside.





If someone wants to lose weight, it's by controlling sugar and sweet stuff intake as it's calories content is very high. Eg a glass of normal coke may have 130 cal (not too sure exact cal, roughlt around that). But if diet coke is choosen, the person is still drinking coke but intake is just 2-5 cal only.





Back to chocolate.


Now that u understand insulin, sugar and sugar substitute, we come to your questions. Diet chocolate / diabetic chocolate, are nothing special except they use a sugar substitute. So the cal is lower. And that means, anyone can take it! Esp those who want to lose weight.





Not only the person will not become sick (after eating diabetic chocolate), he/she may become more healthy in the sense that the weight is properly controlled (which cut down a lot of weight related diseases).





Fructose is another form of sugar, slightly different in chemical structure only.If a healthy person eats chocolate for diabethics, with insulin and fructose, will he become ill?
Diet (';Diabetic';) chocolate does NOT have insulin in it. Insulin is destroyed by stomach acids, and canNOT be taeaten. the ONLY way to take insulin is by injection.





Fructose (';fruit sugar';) is a sugar, and only slightly more complex than table sugar. In fact, fructose is the major componet of Corn Syrup, which is definitely a dangerous food for diabetics! Corn Syrup is the major sweetener used in colas, candy, canned fruits, and jellies.





Fruits, too, must be limited by diabetics. What make fruits better for diabetics than table sugar is that fruits usually ALSO have a lot of dietrary fiber, which slows down the digestion of the fructose. Of course, chocolate sweetened with fructose has NO dietary fiber, so in this case fructose is just as dangerous as table sugar.





Diet chocolate is usually sweetened with artificial sweeteners like aspartame. Some dietary candies use other ';natural'; low calorie sweeteners, but these sweeteners are natural laxatives -- Eating more than 3-4 pieces of these candies causes terrible diarrhea!





You DO NOT get diabtes from eating any one food -- not even sugar. You get diabetes when A) Your pancreas fails (Type 1 Diabetes) or B) you get to be overweight (Type 2 Diabetes).





For a normal person, the health risk with eating chocolate is from weight gain, which will cause Type 2 diabetes.





Since chocolate is naturally bitter, it needs suagr to maek it sweet, so diabetecs need to avoid chocolate altogether.
Diabetic chocolate is suitable for everyone, although it tastes horrible and tends to give you the runs.


Much better sticking to a bit or two of good quality, high cocoa chocolate, dark and bitter is best.





Insulin doesn't work if you swallow it. I gets broken down by the stomach, and made useless.


If you're taking about a healthy person injecting insulin, then yes. There are risks.





If you have to much insulin in your system, you get hypoglycemia.


Basically your body doesn't have enough sugar, due to too much insulin.


If a healthy person you know has injected insulin, then give then sugar and phone the ER.





Right now.





Hypo's can be fatal.
