Metabolic Syndrome

If there is one reason to resolve this syndrome, it is to prevent diabetes. Diabetes is the silent killer today. Today, there are also record levels obesity.
If you can imagine a holocaust where millions were being killed you will start to understand the magnitude of what I am talking about.
I noticed that when something is so big and/or so vast and/or so unbelievable, it simply ceases to be real to people. So unreal, in fact, that it can happen right in front of people’s eyes and they will not see it.
But the death of people in the Western world today is in the same proportions as any veritable holocaust. It is heralded by diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other disorders.
It is estimated that the large majority (~75%, or just above 40 million1) of patients with type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) have this syndrome. The presence of this syndrome in these populations is associated with a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than found in patients with type 2 diabetes or IGT without the syndrome.2

There a lot of people that have become disillusioned by poor weight loss and health information. I can understand this feeling. But it does not mean that good information is NOT out there. It is.
