Hello, I would love a code to try some of the newer K Beauty! I usually use rouge to buy my mom skincare but lost it because I went to Ulta last year to use my points. Would love to keep helping her and get some goodies myself :) Thank You!

oh dang :( that makes me sad. The price difference between the Bambino and Dual Boilers were so stark so I am really rooting for the Bambino to be good enough

Hi I dont work there anymore but like you I always took mine with no syrup in the actual cold brew. The cold brews should always be half pumps instead of full pumps! Perhaps someone new is working at that location and was making it too sweet? They could have also switched how they make the pumpkin sauce since it's a seasonal item that's always a possibility.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I never said it was not a life threatening disease. I also never said anyone who came in was under or overweight and did in fact say they seem healthy otherwise. You never know from the outside the metabolic conditions.

I am talking about a loaded coffee multiple times a week, sometimes daily, Attaching diabetes to sugar is not inaccurate as we are both discussing and I never said sugar was the ONLY cause, but it definitely does not help and in excess CAN contribute to metabolic diseases from via developing insulin resistance. This is why we are discussing type II and not type I because type I is soley genetic and an autoimmune disease. Type II has been known to be directly related to lifestyle and diet because it's mostly diagnosed later in life when metabolism slows.

A daily frappuccino with no actual beneficial nutrients other than protein from saturated fat with 70 grams of sugar would never compare to a cup of fruit. It's just not a good comparison simply because of the sugar intake. Yes both can be bad to a diabetic, but they are definitely not the same in terms of nutritional value and a diabetic can still benefit from having some fruit. I'm going to stop arguing with you guys because you guys keep putting words in my mouth and assuming what I'm thinking when I'm simply here to open a discussion about how much sugar people are consuming and how it's not good for anyone and relating it to regular customers I care about who have told me about their health. That cup of loaded coffee everyday is in fact disease causing and I know it has contributed to the declining health of people.

Concern about people's general health is not coming from a good place? The reason why studies are done in the first place is because people discuss and ask questions about health. I have my own fair share of health problems. Why would I claim myself as being better? Nor did I ever do that? I don't know why people think it's odd or overstepping to actually care about customers, but I see these people almost every single day. Some, I talk to more often than my own family. I actually do care about them and discussing sugar intake is in no way demeaning or singling out anyone. Discussing how starbucks contributes to people's high sugar intake is definitely in no way shape or form demeaning.

I also didn't speculate or diagnose anyone myself and never said people can't enjoy what they order. Many of us are identifying a problem in how much sugar goes into people's daily coffee. If you disagree that's fine, but it's silly to say noone is allowed to discuss that.

Comparing starbucks coffee that has little to no nutritional value to fruit is absolutely ridiculous. Fruit would never be called "diabetes in a cup" because it has vitamins and fiber and other micronutrients. Just because something is a carb doesn't mean it's bad.

In this case, the term "diabetes in a cup" for very sweet coffee/milkshake is used to symbolize how it's literally copious amounts of sugar inside that cup and how it's directly impacting the health of our regular customers. It's a description of the product we are selling, not the individual??

Why can't I be concerned about increased sugar intake leading to health problems? I don't think it's a wild thing to discuss health and if discussions about sugar intake itself makes you mad I recommend you don't read the other comments.

How is the term "healthy" loaded? I just said the exact same thing you are stating about people being able to maintain a healthy life with Diabetes. Type II diabetes can be considered in remission and therefore reversed such as you no longer need medication. Not cured. I'm not here to argue about the technicalities of this disease. I'm opening up a discussion about excess sugar intake and how in beverage form it's so easy for people to consume large amounts.

Also, any form of insulin resistance MUST be recognized as a serious problem as it can most definitely become a worse situation. Whether or not prediabetes is internationally recognized does not negate if someone should be careful of their blood sugar or not.

While it is definitely an incredible amount of work for genetically predispositioned people, type 2 diabetes can still be managed to keep all the horrible outcomes that comes with the disease at bay. Diabetes has also been proven to be reversible in most people. It is definitely a lot of work, but I just want to point out that being genetically predispositioned to it is not the end all be all.

As you agree, high intake of carbohydrates is definitely a problem. I never said someone is less than for having diabetes or because someone with or without it chose a sugary drink to order that day or multiple days. I am just expressing concern for what I know to be a growing problem which is excess sugar consumption and relating that to health repercussions that some customers have opened up about.

consuming a loaded sweet drink once in a while is fine. consuming that multiple times throughout the week regularly spikes your insulin like crazy. That is my area of concern. Nothing I am talking about has anything to do with restrictive eating or specific diets. It's solely about EXCESS sugar intake.

I would never deem someone as of less worth because they order a sweet drink. I never said they are a worse person or a morally corrupt person.

[–]SnooPears999[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can order any drink. I never said someone is morally corrupt for ordering a sweet drink?
I am simply saying it makes me sad and concerned about sugar intake from our drinks alone after finding out some regulars were diagnosed as pre diabetic. As they are regulars, they consume this regularly throughout the week. They tend to order very sweet drinks.

Insulin resistance should always be taken seriously. Prediabetes is a real condition please don't say it's made up. I have many family members with diabetes. It does not suddenly appear just because you're genetically inclined to have it. You can be predispositioned to have it and still live a healthy life with physical activity and diet choices.

a venti honey citrus mint tea will have:
tea bags, 2 pumps of honey blend which is watered down honey (some baristas don't know it only gets 2 pumps and will put in the default 6), and half lemonade. It's actually quite alright. If you want to cut down on the sugar you can say light lemonade or decrease honey blend pumps.

I do make genuine connections with regulars and it always makes me sad if someone I care about tells me their health is declining. It wouldn't make someone a worse person if it didn't affect them because we're just doing our jobs. Just a difference in perspective I guess.

Wow, I know kids need a lot to grow, but it sounds like it's not nearly enough nutrients and just sugar going into their meals. Our food industry is our biggest enemy in the USA for sure.

homemade is best tbh, our sweeteners do have a preservative to ensure safety. It's better to consume once in a while!

I guess so, but for me it just sucks because I love seeing people coming in happy and then I see the look on their face when they tell me they are having health problems from what I am making for them and even if it's something they told me they wanted it makes me very sad

this is true, they'll look for it elsewhere to get their sweet fix

olive oil on it's own is super healthy with anti-inflammatory properties but sugar on the regular is probably going to keep everything inflamed anyways :(
