Long before prediabetes and diabetes comes insulin resistance. You can be insulin resistant for 15-20 years before you develop diabetes!

Chronic sugar consumption can lead to insulin resistance, but seed oils can be equally problematic. Seed oils cause damage to the cell membranes (which contain insulin receptors) and damage to the mitochondria.

There is evidence that unsaturated fatty acids can reduce the risk of diabetes, but this is not the case with rancid, oxidized seed oils. These highly refined seed oils are full of toxic byproducts such as aldehydes, which create irreversible damage in the insulin receptor. The average person consumes 25%-30% of their calories from seed oils.

You can have high insulin and normal blood sugar for many years. Over time, this overworks the pancreas, causing the beta cells that produce insulin to become overworked and eventually stop producing insulin, leaving the body without a mechanism to regulate blood sugar levels.

Normal blood sugar should be around 80, which is equivalent to a single teaspoon of sugar in the blood, even though the average person consumes 81 to 131 teaspoons of sugar every day!

If you have diabetes or you want to avoid it, avoid these foods:

1. Fast food fries and fried chicken

2. Deep-fried restaurant foods

3. Chips/crisps/corn chips

4. Doughnuts and pastries

5. Sweetened drinks

6. Frozen breaded foods

7. Commercial salad dressing and mayo

8. Instant noodles

9. Granola/protein bars and cookies

10. Microwave popcorn

To detox aldehydes, consume more of the following nutrients:

•Carnosine: grass-fed red meat

•Sulfur-rich vegetables: onions, garlic, broccoli

•Polyphenols: green tea, dark chocolate, pomegranate
