Why High Starch And Sugar Diets Drive Insulin Resistance And Chronic Disease

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Paleovalley, and
Essentia.   The leading cause of inflammation is a poor
diet—specifically one rich in addictive starches and refined sugars
that keep us eating more than we need to because they don’t fill us
up. This standard American diet (SAD) of refined flour and sugar is
the gateway to insulin resistance, diabetes, and other metabolic
issues, which cause rapid aging and chronic disease.   In
today’s episode, I talk with Dhru Purohit, Gary Taubes, and Dr.
Ronesh Sinha about why we need to ditch the high-starch diet if we
want to improve our metabolism and reduce chronic disease.
