Director Spurlock clearly did not have insulin resistance before the
"experiment."
Therefore, it was not the insulin resistance that caused the visceral
adipose tissue (VAT) leading to MetS but the other way around.
Moreover, Chicken McNuggets do not contain much refined
carbohydrates. From the documentary, it was clear that those
McNuggets were a frequent menu item so that you really can not make a
case for the diet being a cause of VAT. Instead, it was the
supersizing. This is underscored by the irrefutable fact that
McDonald's has discontinued supersizing.
Truth is simple.
May GOD bless you.
Prayerfully in Jesus' awesome love,

Quoted message said:Would suggest you watch the Spurlock "SuperSizeMe" documentary as many
times as you require to understand that accumulation of VAT is the
cause of MetS and that this acquired condition arises solely from
overeating and not from inherited insulin resistance.McDonalds understood this when they stopped the Supersizing option.
May you have at least the same amount of insight as the McDonalds
executives.Prayerfully in Jesus' awesome love,

Quoted message said:Firrst may God lead us in all virtues including humility. First it is
not an opinion piece it is a part of continuing education on this
subject. It is current and more important peer reviewed . The author
is Jason Lazar, MD, FACC, FACCP
Director of Non-Invasive Cardiology; Visiting Associate Professor of
Medicine, SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, New York. That you
may disagree with this experts opinion is fine . but it certainly is
up to date info. Thanks and may God bless you in all virtue. Vince.
However what info and research have you seen to conteract this experts
opinion and this was just released in April. Most experts today feel
that insulin resistance is the key to MetS some still lean toward VAT.
That is open to discussion however to say that the matter is well
settled is just inaccurate. God sless you in Jesus name Vince- Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text -
Consider the meal: soda;fries and a burger . A lot of sugar, mostly
refined carbs, the perfect meals to send insulin levels up. And for
people with insulin resistance an ideal meal to cause MetS.PLEASE
reread the original JAMA artcle as it clearly shows that for people
with insulin resistance What in terms of sugars and simple carbs is as
important as how much you eat. That for people with underlying insulin
resistance Vat is added at a greater rate in these people with the
high carb diet, than with the same caloric intake on a high fat diet.
As many of the leaders in this field most cardiologist but others as
well have a different position than yours ;.can you explain the
source of their error. Again God bless you . thanks Vince
