Insulin: Major Causes Of Resistance And Why

Refined Carbohydrates

Research shows processed or refined carbohydrates including sugary cereals, pasta, white rice, bread, and artificial sweeteners have been linked to weight gain, increased fatty acids in the liver, overeating and increased appetite, metabolic syndrome, systemic inflammation, high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and diabetes. A 2014 study found a higher consumption of refined grains such as white rice increases the risk of type two diabetes. The study stated a high consumption of rice and noodles might contribute to hyperglycemia due to greater insulin resistance. Healthy carbohydrates to focus on instead are fruits and vegetables.
