How Obesity Causes Type 2 Diabetes!
For quite some time, it’s been known that the extra roll around one’s middle isn’t just a pleasant little pillow for babies to sit on. Instead, that fat is composed of endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are actually associated with the development of Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 diabetes.
Belgium scientists reported in June 2010 that persistent organic pollutants such as PCBs found in the environment are the big culprit in causing insulin resistance. Upon checking the PCB levels of those with and without insulin resistance, scientists found a positive relationship between high serum levels of the persistent organic pollutant beta-hexachlorocyclohexane and body mass index (BMI) and amount to adipose tissue around the middle. For the persistent organic pollutant called dichloro-diphenyl-dichloroethylene, the reverse was true.
The researchers concluded that the diabetogenic-producing effect of low dose exposure to persistent organic pollutants is probably more complicated than just the theory that these pollutants are responsible for diabetes. They’re hard at work to determine what exactly that relationship is.
Comments: It has been known for many years that pesticides were not the product miracle of the 20th century that they were made out to be. Pesticides cause problems and those problems are not restricted to problems in humans. Every animal and bird species that comes into exposure of pesticides will develop future health problems. To continue using pesticides is to make an appointment for our own death and stopping of all generations to come.
The average person now has about 100 different chemicals and pesticides found in their blood. We’re all playing Russian roulette with our health unless we take steps to remove these chemicals and pesticides. Having diabetes makes it harder to detoxify because there are underlying biochemical problems with the physiology.
I strongly urge you to decrease your exposure by eating organic foods as much as possible.
