When it comes to diabetes management, some academic papers remain cautious, waiting for “more evidence” before recommending specific dietary interventions.

NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) is a silent but dangerous epidemic, affecting nearly 1 in 3 adults worldwide — including those who never drink alcohol.

Insulin resistance is a metabolic condition in which the body’s cells respond less effectively to the hormone insulin. Insulin is crucial for regulating blood sugar (glucose) levels, as it helps cells absorb glucose from the bloodstream for energy. When cells become insensitive to insulin, the body requires higher insulin levels to maintain blood sugar, leading

Insulin resistance lies at the heart of a metabolic cascade that can culminate in type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, and more. Dr. Éric Thorin’s insightful article emphasizes that the combination of excess dietary fat—particularly visceral adiposity—and sugar intake triggers inflammatory processes in the body, disrupting normal glucose regulation .
