HOW DIETARY FACTORS CAUSE CHRONIC DEGENERATIVE DISEASES
Part 2 of 4
The causative agents for these disorders appear to be three factors related to diet:
- Excess carbohydrate intake
- Protein deficiency syndrome
- Excess caloric intake
Dr. Scheele’s recent book, entitled Power Amino Acids and Weight Loss Success: A Breakthrough in Weight Control, Metabolic Health and Revitalized Youth explains how these three factors work together to slowly impair health and shorten life.
Excess dietary sugar and carbohydrates lead to high blood sugar (hyperglycemia), high blood insulin levels (hyperinsulinemia), insulin resistance, fat deposition throughout the body including arterial walls, oxidative stress in fat deposits, free radical formation, protein glycation, advanced glycation end products (AGE) and inflammatory processes that ultimately lead to the chronic degenerative diseases associated with the Metabolic Syndrome.
Protein Deficiency Syndrome leads to deficiencies in amino acids, proteins and metabolic pathways that are required to repair the body from the harmful effects of carbohydrates listed above. Protein deficiency syndrome has been shown to result in a selective loss of positive-charged proteins by up to 90 – 95% without noticeable changes in amounts of negative-charged proteins. This imbalance between positive-charged and negative-charged proteins results in an imbalance in enzymes that drive metabolic pathways that rebuild and repair the body. Without the ability to rebalance amino acids, proteins and metabolic pathways, the body slowly deteriorates ultimately leading to accelerated aging and early death.
