YOU CHOOSE: Fit, Fat, Sick or Well, With Insulin Being the Deciding Factor.

For several decades research has shown that Syndrome X or the Metabolic Syndrome has been proven the be related to the diet we consume, which leads to diabetes, high blood pressure, triglyceride levels, central obesity, lower HDL levels with increased heart disease and strokes.

In January 2026, at the Brimhall Homecoming I will elaborate how to improve all of the stated aberrant levels, dysfunctions, improve weight, help to lower blood pressure and central obesity by balancing our metabolism. 

This starts with good nutrition and should include:

All of these issues have a common X Factor, which is insulin.  It seems those in power, should have been helping us to eliminate obesity and diabetes.  Instead, they were stuck on two main false narratives.  One was that eating fat, caused fat in the body.  The other falsehood was by lowering calories and exercising more we would lose weight and prevent diabetes.  This approach did not cause lasting weight loss and did not lower obesity or diabetes levels.  That misguided mantra has allowed the worst obesity and diabetes record of all times and increased blood vascular disease.

The AMA, the Diabetes association, and related organizations in almost all of the industrialized nations have been pushing these wrong concepts.  They have all said for decades to eat less calories and exercise more to lose weight, be thinner and avoid diabetes.  The extensive research for all of these years has proved otherwise over and over.  It does not work.   

The truth is eating sugar and refined carbohydrates causes the release of insulin, which raises Insulin levels, then later insulin resistance, which creates high triglycerides, which increases fat storage and increases abdominal fat, increased strength of the heart contraction and causes water retention by raising sodium levels.

Here are the facts and figures of Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X):
  1. Abdominal obesity, measured by waist circumference: men over 40 inches and women over 35 inches.
  2. HDL with men less than 40 mg/dl or women less than 50 mg/dL or taking medication.
  3. High triglycerides of over 150 mg/dl or taking medication.
  4. High Blood Pressure being over 130mg/mm Hg systolic or over 85 mmHg, diastolic or taking medication.
  5. Fasting blood glucose greater than 100 mg/dL or taking medication
One third of North Americans have been diagnosed with Syndrome X and that raises the risk of heart disease by almost 300%.  It also increases the risk of stroke, cancer, NASH, PCOS and obstructive sleep apnea.  More and more children are demonstrating this syndrome at lower and lower ages.

At Homecoming 2026, we will give you the rest of the story.  For now, know eating sugar and refined carbohydrates causes the body to develop Syndrome X with all of the side effects stated.  You must understand Fructose is even more concerning than the other forms of sugar because it leads to rapid fatty liver and insulin resistance.  

Br aware sucrose or table sugar is glucose and fructose in near equal parts.  Fructose does not involve insulin to be metabolized.  I must pass directly into the liver to be utilized. This means the liver has to do it all and can not keep up with big gulps.  Too much fructose causes insulin resistance because the liver cannot keep up.  This causes fatty liver and in progression fatty pancreas and fatty muscles.

For now, quit eating refined sugar and other carbohydrates.  Do not drink soft drinks sweetened with fructose.  Do not use artificial sweeteners as they are even worse.
