Innuit (Eskimos) and Okinawans, with diets high in unadulterated fatty
acids from fish and unprocessed meat, have very low incidence of atherosclerosis
and heart disease. Reference: Stefansson and Anderson

Carbs
and insulin:
Carbohydrates cause insulin levels to reach 10-15 times normal and stay
elevated for 2-3 hours. Reference: Textbook of Medical
Physiology, pg. 977, Arthur C. Guyton, John E. Hall, W B Saunders Co.,
January 15, 1996, ISBN: 0721659446.
Insulin
production, a response to consuming carbohydrate, raises cholesterol
levels. Reference: Basic Medical Biochemistry, pgs:
475, 566.
Blood clotting and insulin:
Elevated insulin [generated from eating ] causes blood clotting, which
blocks arteries. Reference: Journal of American Medical
Association; 2000; 283:221-228.
A diet high in carbs led to impaired glycemic and insulin responses.

1997, 66: 4(S), pgs. 991S-997S.
Insulin
stops fat burning:
It is now known that insulin instructs the body not to burn stored fat.
So there is a compound effect from consuming excess carbohydrates: sugar
is converted into new fat and existing fat is not metabolized.

Structure of pancreas & pancreatic system:
99% of the pancreas is devoted to handling the digestion of fats and
protein while only 1% is devoted to handling sugar. Reference:

The system
responsible for Pancreatic Insulin release is called the endocrine system.The
cells of the pancreas are called the islets of langerhans - these produce
Insulin.They make and secrete hormones that help the body break down
and use food. Named after Paul Langerhans, the German scientist who
discovered them in 1869, these cells sit in clusters in the pancreas.
There are five types of cells in an islet:beta cells, which make insulin;
alpha cells, which make glucagon; delta cells, which make somatostaton;
and PP cells and D1 cells, about which little is known. References:

Carbs
raise insulin levels:
Insulin levels will reach 10 – 25 times above normal to get rid
of the excess glucose (sugar), and continue to stay elevated even 2
to 3 hours after the time carbohydrates are eaten. Reference:

W B Saunders Co., January 15, 1996, ISBN: 0721659446.
Cholesterol and insulin:
Excess insulin stimulates overproduction of Cholesterol: leading to
elevated blood levels. It reduces the elasticity of arterial walls,
increasing the risk of plaque formation, and causes the kidneys to increase
salt and fluid retention – all of which increase blood pressure
and heighten risk of heart disease and stroke. Reference:

1999. And Basic Medical Biochemistry, pgs 25, 26, 475, 512, 566, Dawn

Lab
rats are given MSG to create obesity:
Early postnatal administration of monosodium glutamate (MSG) to rats
induces obesity, hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia in adulthood, thus
suggesting the presence of insulin resistance. An increase of plasma
insulin, glucose and leptin levels was found in 3-month-old rats treated
with MSG during the postnatal period. Reference:

Note: The food additive "MSG" is a Slow Poison. Slow Poisoning
MSG hides behind 25 or more names, such as "Natural Flavoring".

Irradiated Food:
The technical name for irradiated food is radiometric. It isn’t
radioactive. This doesn’t necessarily mean it’s safe. Irradiation
extends a food’s shelf life by killing all living organisms. This
includes Vitamins:, friendly bacteria, and important Enzymes: But if
the food is already a bit spoiled then irradiation actually increases
the spoilage. Reference: Long Quest for Safer Food
