The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
processed carbohydrates appear to clearly affect our insulin signaling and cause insulin resistance at a much more in a much more robust way in a much more aggressive way than carbohydrates that are normally found in I would say things like squash or avocado
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
there are many ways to avoid insulin resistance that begin with not eating processed foods especially processed carbohydrates in conjunction with vegetable oils
avoid refined sugars avoid processed carbohydrates avoid seed vegetable oils
if you are insulin resistant and you remove all processed sugars from your diet and all sources of seed oils your insulin resistance will get better in the short term you might want to limit carbohydrates also because if you are insulin resistant you are not going to process carbohydrates well
number one completely eliminate processed sugars
insulin resistance is highly preventable totally reversible with really two easy steps number one completely eliminate processed sugars if you've listened to my podcast before i've done many podcasts on the differences between processed sugar that is sucrose which is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose or fructose in processed form high fructose corn syrup etc and fruit there's a big difference between those two
we don't have medications for insulin resistance but we know how to reverse it remove processed sugars and seed oils from your diet and your insulin resistance will improve i guarantee it
I think that most insulin resistance is a combination of processed sugar in the setting of seed oil consumption and as you pointed out those occur together very often
So, in my mind, the answer does become sort of simple. Eliminate them both as much as possible, right? and uh the processed carbohydrates, the processed sugars, the vegetable and seed oils, these things clearly aren't essential to the human diet. They are strongly associated with and have mechanistic explanations for why they cause insulin resistance. So, let's get rid of them first.
