Читать книгу Sugar Addicts’ Diet - Nicki Waterman - Страница 56

Sugar and other refined carbohydrates can cause real problems for the digestive system. The refined carbs cling to the gut wall where they feed unwanted gut bacteria, helping it to thrive instead of passing out of the body. These bacteria lead to inflammation in the gut and an immune response. If the immune response goes on for too long – as it can do if the diet is constantly high in sugar and refined carbs – the body may start to produce too much insulin. In other words, you could become ‘insulin resistant’ and end up with health problems such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity, PCOS, high blood pressure or even arthritis.
