We're constantly being told by the media to decrease our fat consumption and to increase our intake of complex carbohydrates. If you're diabetic here's what happens. Your weight balloons because you raise your insulin demand. Complex carbohydrates are broken down into glucose and then insulin stores the excess sugar as body fat and triglycerides. The result is that over 100 million Americans (about 64%) are heavier than ever before. This is deadly advice for diabetics. The secret is not in eating less fat, but the right fats. |

Dr Barry Sears Answers This Question The elevated blood glucose comes from a decreased ability of the pancreas to pump out enough insulin. This is primarily due to increased fat accumulation in the pancreas due to the unregulated release of free fatty acids stored in the adipose tissue. This release of free fatty acids is primarily due to inflammation in the adipose tissue and subsequent development of insulin resistance in the fat cells. The combination of the Zone Diet and high-dose fish oil provides a very powerful anti-inflammatory approach to reduce insulin resistance in the adipose tissue and thus reverse the fat accumulation in the pancreas. The end result is that your blood glucose levels will drop.

Q. I may be in menopause. I am having some of the symptoms. I have been using the OmegaRx fish oil for approximately six months. I take six tablets a day, but I am concerned that may not be enough because I am not feeling my best (moods swings mostly). Should I up my dosage, and if so, how much? Thanks, Jan A. Dear Jan, I would increase the fish oil to at least eight capsules per day and consider adding about 100-150 mg of soy isoflavones per day to your diet. The combination is very helpful. Dr. Barry Sears was asked this question. Life's Abundance Omega 3
Seafood and fish are a great source of low-fat protein and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Unfortunately, though, there is growing contamination of fish worldwide with toxic heavy metals (such as mercury) and PCBs. Does this mean you should exclude fish from your diet? No. Fish is still a healthy option, as long as you stick with low-fat varieties, such as sole, which are safer. Low-fat fish have lower levels of contaminants because they have less fat for the toxic deposits to settle in. According to the FDA, shrimp, salmon, pollack, and catfish are also good choices, while swordfish, shark, tilefish, and king mackerel have high levels of mercury. Also, albacore tuna and tuna steaks have more mercury than chunk light. And wild fish, such as salmon, have lower levels of contaminants than farm-raised fish. This is because the crude fish-oil fed to farm-raised fish to help them grow is very rich in toxic contaminants. I usually eat low-fat fish about three to four times a week. I also take high dose pharmaceutical-grade fish oil, in which these environmental toxins have been reduced to incredibly low levels, every day. It's a great — and less risky — way to get the same health benefits. Excess we |
