What is diabetes and what is causing an epidemic of diabetes in the United States and worldwide? Diabetes is a cluster of diseases marked by high levels of blood glucose ensuing from defects in insulin production, insulin action, or both. polygenic disease will lead to serious complications and premature death, but individuals with diabetes, operating along with their support network and their health care providers, will take steps to manage the illness and lower the chance of complications. What is causing this epidemic of diabetes? x The underlying process that leads to type 2 diabetes is called insulin resistance that actually happens to a large portion of the population.

The useless and misleading food pyramid, which has been confusing consumers for over 25 years, has advocated a philosophy of eating more grains and other less “fatty” foods. Food Pyramid failed to differentiate simple versus complex sugars and placed undue importance in promoting grain based products. How can the USDA, a government body set up to promote agriculture and promote sale of agricultural commodities be also charged with health recommendations? Unfortunately, consuming a lot of the grain based “simple carbohydrates” such as breads, potatoes, rice etc. although low in fat, are high in glycemic index and can lead to a phenomenon called “Insulin Resistance”.  Affecting up to one in every three Americans, Insulin Resistance is very common and can lead to difficulty losing weight, pre-d...
