Too much glucose.

coming to the cell, The cell wall develops insulin resistance.

You've heard of insulin resistance?

It's as if the cell says, "I'm sick of the side of you." And so the glucose stays in the cell.

In the blood, sorry.

In the blood.

can't get out of the blood and into the cell because of insulin resistance.

AND SO THE BRAIN SEES There's still too much glucose in the blood, so it starts screaming at the pancreas, "More insulin!

More insulin !" And so the pancreas is releasing more insulin, more insulin.

The problem isn't that we need more insulin, the problem is we've got insulin resistance.

And what's the body going to do now with all this glucose in the blood?

It'll just spill out in the urine.

Did you know that diabetes mellitus means sweet urine?

The glucose can't get into the cell so it's spilled out in the urine.

because they noticed that the ants were feeding on urine.

So they tested the urine.

This is back in the early 1800s.

when they first diagnosed diabetes.

Diabetes was not around until sugar was refined.

And they noticed that this problem didn't happen in the little villages with the poor people, because they couldn't afford sugar.

It was only the wealthy ones that could afford the sugar, and it was the wealthy clients were getting the diabetes.

There's no doubt about it.

This refined sugar has played a huge role in diabetes.

Mm -hmm.

Thank you.

There's a book called Sugar Blues.

It's a fascinating book by William Dufty and he gives the history of sugar.

But something else has happened.

Something else has happened that has caused this explosion in diabetes.

And it's something to do with the grain that is in the majority of cereals, the majority of breads.

all the cakes, biscuits, donuts, cookies, in fact we've got a lot of ticks there, what majority of pizzas are made out of,

what the majority of pastas are made of, It's wheat.

So what's the problem with wheat?

One lady said to me, "But Barbara, God made wheat good." I said, "He did." "And Jesus is called the bread of life." I said,

"He is." But the bread that Jesus referred to is not the bread we have today.

It used to be called the staff of life.

I'd like to suggest, as you will see, it's almost the staff of DEV today.

Except for Tristan's bread, of course.

Thank you. So why?

Well, back in the 1950s, Wheat was put through intensive crossbreeding.

They wanted to create a plant with a high yield of grain.

To help with the starvation crisis in Africa, Mexico, India, And they put this through intensive crossbreeding.

Now at first, because when I was a little girl, the wheat used to grow that high.

And at first, the stalk would break under the weight of the heavy load of grain.

So back to the drawing board.

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
