What is going on at Dairy Queen?
6/28/2017 at 8:00 AM

I work near the dairy Queen on 18th and when I came in today I saw about 30-40 people, some in lawn chairs, lined up in front of Dairy Queen. Why??? I am super curious! Nobody at my work knows what is up!

That's a crazy promo. From the looks of the lineup, there will be a few people having ice cream cake for breakfast today. Thanks!

Because eating sugar causes diabetes and has nothing to do with your pancreas

I beg to differ. When I took the course at the diabetes clinic, that is not what they taught us and it is not what my doctor said either.

Ice cream fun fact
6/29/2017 at 1:26 AM

It is not "ice cream@ ( ice milk perhaps ). No where in their advertising does it say ice cream. They only ever say "soft serve".

Fun Fact.

How many are going to google this?. Lol.

lol easy sugars (processed stuff usually) stresses your pancreas and thus can be a major contributor to the onset of type two diabetes

How does a question regarding a line up at Dairy Queen turn into people standing on their soap boxes peeing on each others shoes!
Not everything is a CAUSE or an argument for how you think your way is the right way and all others are wrong. PICK A FORUM and lighten up.

What we were pointing out is that the misconception of sugar causing diabetes is too widely believed.... much like some other ridiculous beliefs that are widespread.

No harm in educating people that don't know: no one is arguing, no one is "on a soap box". We are simply stating facts based oin research and data, not old wives tales.
