Why are our insulin levels so high? Over the centuries our bodies have adapted to our ancestor’s diet – a diet made up of natural proteins and fats and rarely a natural carbohydrate such as those found in fruits and vegetables. Our bodies simply can’t handle the new diet of refined carbohydrates that make up almost half the diet of most Americans.
Refined Carbohydrates are Metabolic Poison!
Because they’re a much more concentrated kind of carbohydrate, refined carbohydrates badly disrupt and unbalance our sensitive metabolic system. Our bodies simply have not had enough time to adequately adapt to this new class of high-powered carbohydrates.
As a result when we consume refined carbohydrates our bodies struggle to keep our blood sugar level from rising so high it might cause blindness, kidney failure, stroke or the amputation of a limb, or worse a fatal heart attack.
In contrast protein and fatty foods have little or no effect on blood insulin levels. Consuming a refined carbohydrate now and then won’t hurt us but when we consume them regularly particularly if we consume them with each and every meal, our blood insulin level rises to an abnormally high level and remains permanently elevated. This is CRH.
There’s nothing evil about insulin. Insulin is a
hormone that has several hundred different functions in a healthy
human body provided the level of insulin circulating in the blood
remains within a normal, healthful range.
But when the body becomes saturated with far too much insulin, this
normally healthy hormone becomes extremely toxic.
Excessive Insulin Can Be Extremely Dangerous, Even Deadly!
If your insulin level should shoot up for a brief period it probably won’t cause you any real trouble. But when the level of insulin in the blood stays high over long periods – years or even decades – the body slowly but steadily develops a tolerance for it. Gradually insulin loses it’s impact and can no longer help sugar enter into the cells where it can provide badly-needed energy.

Over the years insulin loses more and more of it’s impact and
becomes less and less efficient at escorting sugar from the blood
into cells all over the body where it’s badly needed for fuel.
In response the pancreas increases it’s production of insulin in an effort to compensate for insulin’s waning influence. Eventually insulin becomes impotent and can no longer perform any useful function. At that point disease sets in.
Researchers call this “Insulin Resistance” and
its this resistance to the normal role of insulin that’s so
dangerous. Over long periods excessive insulin directly causes or
contributes to a wide range of chronic degenerative diseases
including heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, type 2
diabetes, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, sleep apnea and even
male pattern baldness!
And studies have shown that these diseases are linked together. A
study conducted by Doctor H.B. Posner of the
Gertrude H. Sergievsky Center at Columbia Medical School found that
diabetics with high blood pressure were six times as likely to
develop Alzheimer’s disease as compared with diabetics with normal
blood pressures. ■
