Before Christmas I found out I have Syndrome X which is insulin resistance. Yet my Blood Glucose Level is normal. We forget that our body converts carbohydrates to sugar which converts to insulin via your liver. In my case too much insulin. There is a few different types of sugar, not just we add to our food. There is sugar in fruit, some vegetables and even in milk. I was tested because my weight suddenly inceased. It was also discovered I have fatty liver disease.
I have never been much of a junk food eater, or drunk alcohol.
Reading the nutritional values and the ingredients on food, drinks etc. is a real eye-opener. If we knew what was in most of the food we buy, we would be absolutely horrified. A lot of nasties are listed as codes. You can access the details of them on google === additives in foods.
It tells you what they are made from and side effects you can suffer.
