“Despite swimming in a sea of glucose, brain cells in people with insulin resistance literally begin starving to death.” says Dr. Georgia Ede, a Harvard- trained psychologist.

A staggering 80% of people with Alzheimer’s Disease have insulin resistance or full-blown type 2 diabetes. The connection between insulin resistance and Alzheimer’s Disease is now so firmly established that scientists have started referring to Alzheimer’s Disease as “Type 3 Diabetes.

Preventing Alzheimer’s disease may just be easier than you think.

Challenging traditional cardiovascular risk assessment. It has little to do with the cholesterol and more to do with the insulin.

High levels of insulin look to be more predictable of heart disease. Cardiovascular disease is an inflammatory metabolic condition and the high insulin levels are linked to excessive refined carbohydrate intake.

Another reason to cut back on the processed food – again.

Please feel free to draw your own conclusions on the health benefits of white bread from this ‘sponsored’ article.

Let’s balance out opinion of this recent ‘advertisement’ from Tip Top bread appearing as a blog post in the Huffington Post. It has respected health experts supporting the ‘information’.

What are we doing about it as a nation?Not a lot. It’s a bit like watching the Titanic go down.

“The sugar industry … wasn’t interested in creating uncertainty. It explicitly sought to villianize fat, and to place sole blame on it for coronary heart disease.”

Unfortunately the governments of the day and since then have ‘swallowed’ that research/advice/guidelines and we are now sicker as a result.

When the American Diabetes Association asks for opinion on how to manage diabetes, it gets a big backlash.

Someone in these associations should be listening.

RD Dikeman is someone I greatly admire and I encourage you to listen to his logic.

Gary lent support to RD and his son David a few years ago when they announced to the world, on a short video, how David was running low carb with his previously unstable Type 1 Diabetes.

The modern white rice is high in glucose and low in micronutrients.

You can expect poor blood glucose control if you have diabetes and too much too regularly could make you prone to developing type 2 diabetes.
