A lot of eminent paleoanthropologists have confirmed that our ancestors consumed around 100 grams of carbohydrates per day , and maybe even a lot less than that !
Nowadays , you should know that one person generally consumes between 350 and 600 grams of carbohydrates every day .
As well as our huge carbohydrate consumption , we eat an enormous amount of ( nutritionally ) empty and processed foods , which is truly disgusting , since these foods are marketed as being healthy for us .
In addition to this , even the sugar that we consume isn ’ t natural anymore . The majority of the sugar that we eat is processed , like the disastrous corn starch and high-fructose corn syrup - which we find in lots of factory products .
Now we ’ ll move on to the logical side of things . We ’ ve evolved from our ancestors , who consumed 100 grams of carbohydrates on a daily basis , on average . What ’ s more , the carbohydrates that they ate had very little impact on their blood glucose levels , because of their fiber intake .
And yet , we consume almost 4 times more carbohydrates , and very little fiber . So , our blood glucose levels rise sharply , and our sensitivity to insulin reduces dramatically . After a few years , our bodies become resistant to insulin , and finally type 2 diabetes appears .
Besides this , the world we live in doesn ’ t have much in it that we should be scared of , and it ’ s very unlikely that you ’ ll come across an enraged animal . Indeed , it ’ s unlikely that you ’ ll need to hunt for food in order to survive ; all you need to do is press a few buttons to order your meals . To add another layer , you ’ re a lot less active than your ancestors 10,000 years ago .
These ancestors had to adapt to compensate for the lack of glucose and carbohydrates . So , over the course of our evolution , we created 4 ways of producing more glucose , but just one way of getting rid of it .
That ’ s why , when we eat too many carbohydrates , our pancreas secretes insulin , as our ancestors ’ pancreases did . However , unlike our ancestors , our cells get “ full ” a lot more easily . In the end , our cells become resistant to insulin .
This is how the insulin receptors on the surface of your cells start to decrease in number and overall efficiency . And yet , glucose cannot be stored by the muscles or liver , which are already full . So , it stays in your bloodstream .
This is what creates the problem ! From that point on , you find yourself with an excess of glucose in your blood . The pancreas does its job and notices that there ’ s too much glucose in the bloodstream .
