Guest guest Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 I received the link below from Dr.Jon. A long article but (imo) well worth the read. It deals with diet & insulin sensitivity. It also deals with prescription drugs which often compound problems by selectively counter-acting symptoms rather than really treating imbalances. It is a talk by Ronald Rosedale, M.D. Presented at Designs for Health Institute's BoulderFest. Below is a brief quote & the URL. Alobar +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Insulin sensitivity is going to start being determined from the moment the sperm combines with the egg. If your mother, while you were in the womb was eating a high carbohydrate diet, which is turning into sugar, we have been able to show that the fetus in animals becomes more insulin resistant. Worse yet, they are able to use sophisticated measurements, and if that fetus happens to be a female, they find that the eggs of that fetus are more insulin resistant. Does that mean it is genetic? No, you can be born with something and it doesn't mean that it is genetic. Diabetes is not a genetic disease as such. You can have a genetic predisposition. But it should be an extremely rare disease. http://www.cat007.com/insulin.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
