Fat, NOT Fruit, Causes Blood Sugar Problems. And The Deadly Low Carb Craze.

Fat, NOT Fruit, Causes Blood Sugar Problems:

To be used as fuel for our cells, the sugars we eat travel from the digestive tract, through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream. Then they move easily out of the bloodstream and into the cells.

When we eat a high fat diet, a thin coating of fat lines the blood vessel walls, the cells insulin receptor sites, the sugar molecules, as well as the insulin itself. Too much fat in the blood, impedes the movement of sugar out of the bloodstream. The sugar gets trapped in the bloodstream. This results in an overall rise in blood sugar, as sugars continue to travel from the digestive tract, into the blood, but cannot escape from the blood, so they can be delivered to the cells for fuel. Meanwhile the sugar backs up in the blood, creating sustained elevated blood sugar that wreaks havoc on the body in the form of candida, fatigue, diabetes etc.

And The Deadly Low Carb Craze:

Humans have little or no capacity for storing excess protein or carbohydrates, but we can convert both to fat stores for later use as fuel. While this can be a lifesaving process in times of hardship, the absence of sufficient carbohydrates results in the production of toxic by products like acetone and others also known as ketones. The symptoms of ketosis (a metabolic state where the body switches from primarily using glucose for energy to primarily using fat for energy) include general tiredness, gradually increasing weakness, dizziness, headaches, abnormal pain, sleep problems, nausea and vomiting etc). There are dozens of additional diseases and problems brought up by this deadly diet including: cancer, stroke, gout, osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiac disease, malnutrition, a rise in blood pressure with age and more.

We pay a huge price in terms of our health and optimum functioning whenever we force our bodies to resort to fat (or worse to protein) to fuel our cells. These conversions are chemically inefficient compared with using carbohydrate for fuel. The body can only do so by expending substantial amounts of vital energy and producing toxic waste products along the way.
