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.
