Sugar is a Silent Killer, According to Latest Harvard Research

This latest study on the effects of high blood sugar is yet another great reason to use GTF Complex.

“High blood glucose levels are one of the most common killers of Americans, according to new research from Harvard researchers. In a study that assessed 12 dietary, lifestyle and metabolic factors risk factors in causes of preventable death, high blood glucose levels came out as the fifth most deadly killer, after tobacco, high blood pressure, overweight/obesity, physical inactivity.

“High blood glucose levels were more perilous than high LDL cholesterol, high levels of dietary salt, low omega-3 levels, high levels of trans fatty acids, alcohol use, low levels of fruit and vegetables and low levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
“According to the mathematical model used by the researchers, there were between 163,000 and 217,000 high blood glucose-related mortalities in 2005 that could have been avoided.”1

When it comes to sugar consumption, Americans eat their weight’s worth every single year (about 140 pounds worth!). “Over time, it is believed that the pancreas just can’t keep up with the need for increased insulin and the individual develops diabetes. Reversing insulin resistance through dietary means can greatly help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.”2

What can you do?
1. Take GTF Complex (helps block sugar uptake naturally, and takes some of the stress off your pancreas)
2. Get rid of refined sugar in your diet.
3. Eat more vegetables and good fats (Evening Primrose Oil, Fish Oils, Coconut Oil)
