Dr. Michael Pritsker is a chiropractor at New Century Spine Centers in San Diego. In this article, he reveals some of the latest research. According to a Study published in the Journal of Physiology on November 1, 2010, "A fat-rich energy dense diet is an important cause of insulin resistance."
Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas and it helps the cells of the body absorb glucose. Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body produces insulin but does not use it properly. When people are insulin resistant, their muscle, fat, and liver cells do not respond properly to insulin. As a result, their bodies need more insulin to help glucose enter cells. The pancreas produces more and more insulin until it basically gets worn out and starts to fail. This can lead to diabetes.
