Is there a connection between diabetes and black mold in toilets? Are you a diabetic who has noticed the appearance of black molds inside your toilet? What does this mean?
These are interesting questions that many diabetics have asked. Diabetes, a disease characterized by improper blood sugar control, has the hallmark symptom of excess urination. In fact, the word 'diabetes' stems from the greek word 'diabainein' meaning 'to pass through' in reference to the passing of sugar through the urine. What does this have to do with black moldy toilets?
The simple explanation is that excess sugar in the urine provides fuel for fungus/mold which results in the growth we observe in the toilets. However, an interesting proposal is if there is a link between fungus and diabetes. Sure enough, there is a large body of evidence that points to a strong connection between fungus and diabetes. I highly recommend you look into the book "The Fungus Link to Diabetes" by Doug A. Kaufmann.
Gout, which is caused by excess uric acid in the blood has a connection to fungus as well as diabetes. Oral thrush in diabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are too high leading to an outbreak of yeast growth in the mouth and tongue. Interestingly, a lot of the anti-diabetes drugs we take also have anti-fungal properties. Is it possible that their effect on blood sugar is in part due to their ability to combat fungus?
If pre-diabetes and diabetes has such a strong link to fungus, what is the solution? First, I recommend you consult your doctor before making any major changes to your medication and diet. The great news is that fighting fungus is simple. The goal is to starve the fungus without starving the human. Fungi thrive in sugar rich environments. It's important to eliminate sugar from the diet. It's also important to moderate carbohydrate intake and make sure blood sugar levels remain in a healthy range.
I don't want to overwhelm anyone with details but the more passionate you become about eliminating fungus and seeking better health, the more energy you can invest in learning about the anti-fungus lifestyle. I hope your journey to better health also leads to mold-free and cleaner toilet.
