As the years go by and the body ages just a few more years, those who were early on hypogycemic, will have their cells become less and less willing to take in the glucose. At first the blood glucose level is still, being brought down to normal after meals, but it is taking longer and longer. Eventually this unwillingness of the cells to take up the insulin/glucose combination leads to higher and higher blood glucose levels. Whereas they used to have low blood sugar, now they have high blood sugar. Why is this happening? It is because the “simple” carbohydrate foods which make up such a large part of the diet, are also devoid of the important nutrients, the vitamins, minerals and amino acids which are required to transport the glucose into the cell, into and then through the mitochondria. The co-factor minerals of chromium and vanadium as well as lipoic acid, riboflavin and niacinamide are in short supply. Finally, the lack of these nutrients leads to the day when the insulin/ glucose complex can no longer muster up the important cofactors that allow it to gain entry into the cell. Now the blood fills with both glucose and the ineffective insulin. When this occurs, the level of glucose in the blood begins to rise above normal limits for longer and longer periods of time. If this whole process is not stopped and reversed by halting the excess use of “simple” carbohydrates, the individual will become what is known as a Type II or Adult Onset Diabetic. Always remember, a high “simple” carbohydrate diet is the ONLY cause of this type of diabetes. Because of today’s excessive use of “simple” carbohydrates, Adult Onset Diabetes now makes up over 90% of all diabetics in the advanced nations of the world. Currently there are over 17 million people diagnosed as diabetics in the United States, with over 15 million of these being due to “simple” carbohydrate diet induced Adult Onset Diabetes. It is increasing at an alarming rate that will double the number of people afflicted with this condition every 15 years. It is now the fastest growing disease in America. It is the 7th leading cause of death in the United States, and the statistics are no better in other major advanced nations also pursuing a “simple” carbohydrate diet. What used to be an old peoples condition is now afflicting more and more young people, even people in their early twenties.

In the beginning those who were fortunate enough to be born with a really strong pancreas will find it producing so much insulin, so fast, in response to all this “simple” carbohydrate in the diet, that it quite literally removes so much glucose from the blood there is not enough left to run the brain. These people get sudden bouts of weakness, lightheadedness, nervousness, irritability, poor memory, difficulty concentrating and thinking. All courtesy of a brain that does not have enough fuel to run on. As soon as they eat, the blood glucose level rises and they feel better. However, if they eat “simple” carbohydrates, they will feel terrific, but only for a short period of time, and then a little later as the insulin from their pancreas floods in, their blood sugar drops and they are in the pits again. This is what is known as hypoglycemia or low blood sugar.

As a result of this massive consumption of “simple” carbohydrates devoid of the other macro-nutrients of protein, fat and fiber, and also totally devoid of the micro­nutrients of vitamins, minerals and phyto-nutrients, tens of millions of Americans, as well as those in other advanced nations, are suddenly finding themselves in a great wasteland of a new health condition called Syndrome X! The earliest sign of the onset of this condition is severe acne. It is also a condition characterized by bouts of confused thinking, difficulty remembering at various times, energy that is no longer steady, but surges at times only to fade away later, with more and more low energy episodes than high ones. It is brought about by a loss of the ability to effectively and efficiently utilize glucose in the blood, the cell and the mitochondria. This condition generally begins to manifest itself in the teen years as severe acne. It then continues to intensify over the next decade and a half, ultimately culminating in over one and a quarter million people each year graduating from Syndrome X to a full fledged Type II, Adult Onset Diabetic.

As a child consuming cold cereals made of refined flour coated with sugar, drinks of fruit juice and soda pop, snacks of cookies, crackers, and doughnuts, and meals of pasta and spaghetti, and deserts of cookies and cake, and candy treats, your young and healthy pancreas puts out all the insulin you need.However, by the time you reach those all important teen years, this kind of micro-nutrient deficient “simple” carbohydrate diet for the first 12 years of your life has left your cells with too little in the way of nutrient reserves to be able to process all this glucose in an effective way. The first thing that happens is that the glucose in the diet is in excess of the ability of the nutritionally deficient mitochondria to convert it into ATP. As a result the glucose can’t get into the mitochondria and the glucose starts to saturate the cell.Because of the constant exposure to the environment, the skin endures a high degree of wear and tear, thus skin cells have to replace themselves constantly. This means they have a high energy demand, and they need and get a lot of glucose, and the more glucose there is in the diet, the more they get. The nutritional deficiencies that accompany a “simple” carbohydrate diet,  eventually show up as nutritional deficiencies in every cell in the body, including skin cells. These nutritional deficiencies prevent the skin cell mitochondria from fully functioning. The glucose does not get converted to ATP and just stays in the cell as glucose until the cell becomes so saturated it can accept no more. By this time the lack of Vitamin A and B-2 are causing the oil in the sebaceous glands to become thick and sticky, and this traps bacteria. Looking around for a good meal, the bacteria discover a huge supply of glucose in the neighboring cells. With all this food they are soon multiplying faster than rabbits in Australia and a huge bacterial colony is established in the skin pores. At this point the immune cells discover the bacterial colony and attack. First comes the chemical warfare becomes red, swore and swollen. Next is the attack by the macrophages who eat themselves to death gorging on bacteria, littering the battlefield with their swollen pus filled bodies. By now your dreaded pimple is sticking out there for all the world to see. So, if you are a typical teenager you console yourself with a candy bar and wash it down with a bottle of soda pop and wonder why your pimples are turning into a bad case of Acne!
