This evidence suggests that high blood glucose concentrations are the single most important factor predicting risk that arterial damage causing heart disease will develop. It seems that glucose damages arteries directly through the glycosylation effect on key proteins and also by promoting oxidation of the small dense LDL-cholesterol particles.
High refined carbs foods:
1. Elevate blood sugar, irritating and inflammating the arteries and blood vessels. Excess of blood sugar binds to proteins (glycosilation), hindering their normal functions, as well as becoming toxic for the brain cells and neurons.
2. Spike insulin, increasing the storing of fat, impeding burning fat and likely leading to IR, fatty liver, diabetes, and so forth.
3. Negatively impacts gut bacteria by overgrowing bad bacteria and thus leading to leaky gut, inflammation and digestive issues.
4. Increases production of LDL and tryglicerides in the blood stream, thus raising the chances of heart attack
5. Drives hunger to the roof, leading to overeating and gaining weight
6.
