Syndrome X Quotes

“the more insulin resistant one was, the greater the negative impact of a high-carbohydrate diet.”
― Gerald Reaven, Syndrome X: Overcoming the Silent Killer that Can Give You a Heart Attack

“one way to guard against Syndrome X is to ignore the “best” medical advice, to shun the low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet everyone “knows” is good for theheart. If you have Syndrome X—and 60–75 million Americans do— that “good” diet can be deadly. If you have the syndrome, carefully dieting to lower your total cholesterol or LDL cholesterol won’t solve the problem. In fact, conscientiously doing so may make a heart attack even more likely.”
