The shift away from fat consumption towards more carbohydrates coincided with the rise of obesity and diabetes, suggesting a potential link between these dietary changes and health issues.

Blood glucose spikes after eating carbohydrates lead to insulin secretion, which signals the body to store glucose as fat, contributing to weight gain and various metabolic diseases.

Maintaining a low insulin level is beneficial for fat oxidation, and various dietary approaches can help achieve this, including low or moderate carbohydrate diets.

Insulin resistance can lead to abnormal cholesterol levels, affecting both LDL and HDL. It's important to monitor these levels and understand their implications for cardiovascular health.

The liver processes about 90% of the alcohol consumed, making it particularly vulnerable to damage from excessive drinking, which can lead to liver disease and failure. The safest way to prevent liver damage is to avoid heavy drinking and seek medical care for early detection through blood tests and ultrasounds.

I believe it should be illegal to prescribe GLP-1 drugs without accompanying nutrition and exercise guidance to ensure proper weight management, as using weight loss drugs can come with significant risks, including increased chances of bowel obstruction, pancreatitis, and potential thyroid and kidney issues. It's crucial to monitor health markers like kidney function and hormone levels while on these medications.

In our study, we measured the effects of food intake by focusing on blood glucose responses, which are crucial for understanding how different foods affect individuals differently.

Compounds like berberine and metformin can lower blood glucose and insulin levels, which in turn can increase fat oxidation by reducing insulin's inhibitory effect on fat metabolism.

Postprandial glucose response is associated with weight regulation, as spikes in blood glucose can lead to insulin secretion, which signals the body to store fat.
