The liver converts excess carbohydrates and proteins into triglycerides, which are exported as very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL)

Diet and lifestyle factors play significant roles in influencing cancer risk, primarily through their impact on metabolic health.

In a hyperglycemic state, cancer cells receive both the signal to grow and the energy to support that growth. This creates a perfect storm.

We’ve been conditioned to see food primarily as fuel, the truth is, food plays a far richer role in our bodies than simply providing fuel.

From an evolutionary standpoint, fructose may have offered survival advantages by providing a rapid, concentrated source of energy.

Fructose metabolism differs from glucose metabolism, and is particularly adept at promoting fat storage and disrupts metabolic health.

Chronically elevated insulin levels might be a contributing factor to the RalA-DRP1 pathway that leads to mitochondrial fragmentation.

Let's delve into the fascinating concept of insulin resistance as a 2 sided coin, and how it can manifest differently in various cell types

Elevated insulin levels can rise significantly (up to 20 years!) before glucose levels become abnormal. 

It's crucial to note that insulin resistance isn't a uniform phenomenon. Not all cells are affected equally.
