Thanks for the interesting article.
So I am guessing that in summary, it is saying we should eat less sugar and less carbs, that we should be eating a lot fewer than the food pyramid recommends.
I have 2 questions:
1) The author mentioned something about resistance training increasing insulin sensitivity (he used the example of the bicep I think on p.4 ). So is he implying that excercise is bad and contribures to aging? That can't be right. Could someone please explain this better....I think I was reading this part wrong.
2) He mentions that we should be cutting down on all the types of sugar, not just glucose. What about sucralose? This is billed as a "sugar substitute" in many of the shakes, etc.....but does it make you produce insulin the same as the other sugars?
If anyone can figure out the answers, thanks a bunch.

My only question is that the article mentions Insulin as an Anabolic Hormone. (bottom page 1) Bodybuilders use insulin because it is legal, it stores protien and builds muscle. Would keeping insulin levels low be good for somebody trying to put on maximum muscle?
