Refined Carbohydrate Metabolism Details

Here are the important points about refined carbohydrate metabolism:

1. The blood sugar level rose too quickly.

2. The stress on the pancreas was too great.

3. The level of insulin and sugar climbed too high.

4. The insulin level remained elevated for too long.

The bottom line is that the normal metabolism of natural sugars such as those found in fruits and other natural foods is a smooth, even, well-regulated process.

While the metabolism of refined sugars is chaotic, unnatural, stresses the body in numerous ways and causes the level of insulin in the blood to rise and fall in an abnormal “roller-coaster” fashion.

Natural food metabolism is a healthy process that allows our bodies to obtain the many nutrients it needs to heal us and provide energy.

In contrast, refined carbohydrates hit our systems hard and throw our entire metabolic system out of balance. And that unnatural imbalance promotes a wide range of diseases. In addition refined carbohydrates contain little or no useful nutrition.

If you consume refined carbohydrates with most of your meals, as almost all Americans do, the level of insulin circulating in your blood stream will remain permanently elevated.
