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.

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
