MSG Diabetes & Obesity
Originally uploaded by cnuicu
Worldwide statistics indicate there are over 300 millions people with diabetes. By 2030 it is estimated there wil be 552 million people with diabetes. People with diabetes often have high blood pressure,overweight or obesity . Diabetes, a metabolic, disease occurs when the pancreas can no longer control sugar levels in the blood. The reasons are 1.the pancreas can not make enough insulin and 2.there is enough insulin but the receptors on cells no longer respond to insulin to move it into muscle cells and fat cells. The result is blood sugar levels are too high.
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a common food flavor enhancer that has been shown to contribute to diabetes and weight gain. The pancreas is over stimulated by MSG even when there is no blood sugar. After many years the pancreas fails and no longer can control blood sugar levels. The person has developed Type 2 diabetes. Weight gain happens when MSG over stimulate pancreas to produce insulin. The excess levels of insulin in the blood causes the glucose to be stored in adipose tissue/fat cells when the muscle cells are full of glucose. Gradually the person becomes obese as adipose tissue expands to store the glucose.
These two minerals help reverse diabetes and weight gain. Vanadium is a trace mineral that is found in many foods. Chromium picolinate an essential mineral that plays a role in how insulin helps the body regulate blood sugar levels.
