Great article about insulin resistance.
Actually a summary of much we have talked about.
Interesting too that he (Rosedale) looks at saturated fats as a kind of
sugar - like starch.
Great description of how insulin resistance develops, and how it works.
After I've read all this and much agreement on my side,
now for some weaker points, I think it would be worth to speak about.
1.The assumption that insulin resistance generally increases in the course
of the live - even at normal (adapted or paleolithically usual) intake
of carbs.
I think such a general deterioration could not be assumed for a normal
function. But in the case of intoxications (by some toxins
accumulating in the cells like cross linked proteins) it would be logical,
IMHO.
2.How to *treat* the high insulin state properly. It turns out that
Rosedale's main treatment is a low carb diet and high doses of
B-Vitamins,vitaminoids and minerals.
Low carb eating, I think is known as a good *treatment* of diabetic
problems. I think it schouldn't be necessary to protect against diabetic
developements in healthy normals.
The B-Vitamins are my own main guess of what would be missing in
westernized carbs and a main cause of diabetic and i.resistance problems.
It's interesting that he mentiones Coenzyme Q10 as important.
I myself would like to include alpha lipoic acid together with CQ10 as
well, they have similar purposes and fates.
(just that alpha lipoic acid works at a strategic key point,
pyruvate dehydrogenase).
