ELEVATING NUTRITIONALLY RICH FOODS ON THE GLYCEMIC INDEX IS THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF THE EPIDEMIC OF TYPE 2 DIABETES

INTRODUCTION

Cows milk is a nutritionally rich food that has been designed by nature to support the relatively fast growth of calves and is approximately 30 on the glycemic index. When high glycemic foods are added to or consumed with milk, the milk is elevated to over 60 on the glycemic Index double of what nature intended! For example when sucrose is added to milk to form sweetened condensed milk, the milk is raised on the Glycemic Index from approximately 30 to 68. It would be remiss of Medical Research to continue ignoring this aspect of the Western diet.
DISCUSSON 1

The concentration of growth hormone in the blood of acromegalics is raised and does not fall in response to the consumption of carbohydrate. Therefore it is suggested that the increased incidence of type 2 diabetes in acromegaly is caused by concurrent, elevated concentrations of growth hormone and glucose in the blood. The suggestion is experimentally proven by an experiment done in the 1960s. The experiment is that a prolonged administration of growth hormone together with the carbohydrate inevitably results in diabetes mellitus (referred to in Blackwells Scientific Publications, 1968, Vol. 1, p. 25.12.). Therefore it is suggested that the regular consumption of food which concurrently elevates the concentrations of growth hormone and glucose in the blood is the primary cause of type 2 diabetes.
DISCUSSION 2

It is established that the consumption of foods that are high on the Glycemic Index raise the blood glucose level most. It is established by many scientific studies that the consumption of nutritionally rich foods such as milk elevates the level of growth hormone in the blood. For example a prospective study by Rich-Edwards JW, Ganmaa D, Pollack MN, et al. (Nutritional Journal 27 Sept. 2007) found that the consumption of dairy milk by Mongolian school children elevated their levels of serum growth hormone. Therefore it is suggested that the consumption of nutritionally rich food in combination with high glycemic food concurrently elevates the concentrations of growth hormone and glucose in the blood and thereby is diabetogenic.

For example, the nourishment a fetus receives from the maternal mother in the third trimester of gestational diabetes is nutritionally rich with added glucose. The end result is a large baby (evidence of previously high growth hormone levels) with insulinemia (evidence of previously high glucose levels); an increased risk to childhood obesity and an increased risk to type 2 diabetes later in life.
CONCLUSION

In neither human nor animal studies has much attention been paid to the possible effects of combining nutritionally rich foods with high glycemic food. It is possible that such food combinations contain both diabetogens and co-diabetogens. Therefore to research the components of these combinations separately as medical research is wont to do would be misleading.
