New Research into the Cause of Diabetes Will Revolutionize Its Management

The Most Frequent Question Asked is "What is the Cause of Diabetes?"

Eighty years after the discovery of insulin, the cause of diabetes remains a mystery.

Researchers are still grappling with the enormous complexity of a disease in which almost every aspect of the body's metabolism tumbles out of control.

Despite all that we don't know, there's general agreement that type 2 diabetes (adult-onset and the most prevalent form) is tightly associated with obesity.

Is There a Relationship Between Blood Sugar and Fat Use in Diabetes?

Medical attention to diabetes has always focused on blood sugar (glucose) and trying to control it. Sugar lowering drugs are the primary tool for blood sugar management.

Type 2 diabetics have hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).

What has also been known is that there's a serious disturbance in the body's handling of fat:

free fatty acid levels increase
triglycerides levels increase
there's an excessive increase in body fat accumulation in various tissues including muscle

What's unclear is whether the breakdown in the body's handling of fat is a result of the diabetic state OR is it actually a primary cause of diabetes.

It's the Breakdown in Handling Fat That's the Cause of Diabetes

And this breakdown is a direct result of eating a diet high in carbohydrates!

Ever since the low-carbohydrate diet became popular in about 2002, scientific researchers have taken a whole new look at the diet and its effect on health.

Although the medical establishment continues to condemn the low-carbohydrate diet, the cracks in the damn are going to make their position obsolete.

Researchers have found that:

the low-carbohydrate diet can improve sugar control and fat control without even losing weight
the risk factors for heart disease and other diseases improve
it's easy to lose body fat because the low-carbohydrate diet causes people to automatically eat 500-1,000 less calories each day

How Does the Low-Carbohydrate Diet Work It's Magic?

When cellular enzymes are exposed to carbohydrates, there are several major changes that occur:

the key enzyme that controls the conversion of carbohydrate into fat increases in quantity and in its rate of action
it converts carbohydrates into fat and it gets stored into the body's fat tissues
as fat-handling breaks down, sugar control goes haywire
the sugar problem comes after the fat problem
this is the primary breakdown arising from eating a high-carb diet
unfortunately, there are very few researchers and far fewer medical clinicians who understand these biochemical pathways

Why is the Rate of Type 2 Diabetes Increasing So Rapidly?

The combination of our modern diet and sedentary lifestyle has resulted in an increase in obesity and type 2 diabetes.

I also argue that we eat far too many carbohydrates and that this is a major cause of diabetes.

If people would eat fewer calories and increase their physical activity level, this could lead to a reversal of some of the damaging events.

Compliance to this combination has proven to be extremely difficult:

eating high-carbohydrate diets turns on fat-making from carbohydrates
fuel levels in the blood decrease and hunger sets it
because carbohydrates cause the pancreas to release insulin, fat release from the fat cell shuts down
this deadly scenario plays around the clock as the body is driven into a storage mode
the only way out is carbohydrate restriction

One Researcher Who Understands the Facts Described Above, Advocates the Use of Drugs to Increase Fat-Burning in the Body's Tissues!

Because our researchers have been held captive by their love-of and their passion-for what they believe is the health-giving nature of carbohydrates (and the supposed hazards of fat), the vast majority have never studied fat metabolism.

I did, in fact I got a PhD in fuel metabolism.

Now, I know when you eat more fat and restrict carbohydrates, fat-burning increases within a matter of days in all the body's tissues.

In fact, in about two weeks, the brain and central nervous system will receive 75% of their fuel from a form of fat called ketone bodies.

This is just what we want -- no drugs involved -- what Anti-Aging Vibes is all about:

you'll lose weight
your health will improve
your energy will go through the roof because fat is the body's primary fuel
you'll exercise more using a variety of styles including walking, resistance training, and the newest and one of the most powerful forms of exercise -- vibration training

So, I've now shown that the primary cause of diabetes is a too high intake of carbohydrates which is also responsible for causing you to eat too many calories.

Round and round it goes.
