Diabetes Wheat Link

[vincehh]

I was browsing some files on health related to carbohydrate, saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, insulin and came across a possible link between wheat and diabetes. This was from a site focusing on a low carbohydrate, low sugar (remember sugar is just an extremely simple carbohydrate) and moderate saturated fat, nil seed oil diet for good health.

 

They where talking about how insulin locks onto an insulin receptor on the cell and then they had a wheat or gluten protein or byproduct that locked into the insulin receptor site and that blocked insulin from then locking ito the insulin receptor on the cell. This means insulin no longer works for that cell, a condition called insulin resistance.

 

There has been three changes to the diet that may be acting together or alone causing ill health:

    Increase in carbohydrates in general mainly from wheat. Gluten enhanced wheat?

    Refined forms of sugar, the more simple the worse it is. (Causing Insulin pendulum high then low blood sugar)

    Replacement of saturated fats with seed oils (body produces eicosanoids from the omega 6 in the oil and these chemicals are linked with allergies, arthritis, cancer, inflammation, immune system problems,  heart disease, stroke. Asprin and many similar drugs for example work by blocking eicosanoids)

 

 

 

Food for thought.
