s I reflect on the past year, I’m grati-
A fied by the tremendous efforts of
Synergy’s dedicated distributors and
employees. By working hard and caring
about what they do, this talented team of
men and women has taken Synergy to
worldwide prominence in network mar-
keting. There is no question in my mind
that those of you I meet and work with
every day are the finest and most accom-
plished people anywhere, in any field.
2005 has been a year of challenges, oppor-
tunities, and triumphs. We just experi-
enced the best sales month in Synergy’s
history. We have grown in every market
and added thousands of motivated, ener-
getic distributors around the world. We
have opened offices in Hong Kong,
Indonesia, and Malaysia, and we are
aggressively eyeing other new markets
and opportunities around the world. We
will not rest until Synergy WorldWide
encompasses the globe and offers people
everywhere the benefits of our life-
enhancing products and life-changing
opportunity.
We have also substantially improved how
we do business. We have listened to our

markets and responded. Our redesigned
corporate website and revamped Busi-
ness Manager have elevated Synergy to
the top rung in efficient business manage-
ment and easy access to important infor-
mation. At the Viva! Synergy 2005 con-
vention, we introduced a start up kit that
rivals any in the business. We are striving
to improve how we market our products
and present ourselves to the world.
“We will not rest until
Synergy WorldWide
encompasses the globe
and offers people
everywhere the benefits
of our life-enhancing
products and life-
changing opportunity.”
But Synergy is about more than business,
wealth, and success. It’s about improving
our lives on every level. As many of you
know, I love the philosophy contained in
the phrase “live, love, learn, and leave a
legacy.” This motto sums up my deepest
beliefs about our purpose here on earth
and tells us how to take care of those
things that really matter.
We must grab life by the horns, live with
passion, and enjoy ourselves every day.
Life is short, and we never know what
january 2006
tomorrow brings. We must love one
another, reach out to others, and make a
vital connection to treasured friends and
family. We must continue to learn and
strive to get better. When we don’t
improve and grow, we stagnate—and
eventually die.
Finally, we must leave a legacy. If we give
nothing back, if we won’t help those in
need, we have wasted our best efforts
and achieved nothing. In the words of the
great American writer Ralph Waldo Emer-
son, “To laugh often and much, to win the
respect of intelligent people and the
affection of children, to earn the appreci-
ation of honest critics and endure the
betrayal of false friends, to appreciate
beauty, to find the best in others, to leave
the world a bit better, whether by a
healthy child, a garden patch, or a
redeemed social condition; to know even
one life has breathed easier because you
have lived. This is to have succeeded!”
I know in my heart that the
coming year will be the
greatest in our history.
Many lives will be
changed because of what
this company stands for.
I’m deeply thankful for the
treasured moments the
Synergy community has
given me, and I’m grateful
for the warm and wonder-
ful relationships that have come my way.
I thank every one of you for the great gifts
and heartfelt passion you bring to the
business. May the coming year bring
every one of you the peace and prosperi-
ty you so richly deserve.

The Glycemic Index

The Key Code to Obesity and Diabetes
By Dr. Ann de Wees Allen
Chief of Biomedical Research
Glycemic Research Institute

Part IV: The role of the glycemic index in

diabetes, type 2 diabetes in children,
insulin resistance, and sexual function.

Obesity is linked to type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

According to the American Diabetes Associa-
tion, obesity (an excess of adipose tissue fat)
makes adults much more prone to developing
type 2 diabetes. Researchers have shown that
obesity is also a culprit in the drastic increase
in type 2 diabetes in children.

ecent research has shown
R that obesity can increase
the risk of type 1 diabetes, as
well as hasten its onset. The
“accelerator hypothesis” has
been identified as the causal
factor in the hastening and
increase in type 1 diabetes. The
accelerator hypothesis is
defined as the metabolic
changes that accompany excess
weight (such as insulin resist-
ance) which speeds up the loss
of insulin-producing beta cells.
This results in heavier children
developing type 1 diabetes at
younger ages than leaner chil-
dren (1).
Physicians can no longer
assume that overweight chil-
dren who develop diabetes are
to be diagnosed as type 2 dia-
betics. The conclusion that per-
sons who have just developed
type 1 diabetes are always thin
is a misconception.
Low Glycemic Diets
and Diabetes
Low glycemic diets have been
proven useful in preventing
diabetes and other insulin-
related disorders. In both dia-
betic and healthy individuals,
low glycemic foods and diets
significantly reduce serum cho-
lesterol, urinary C-reactive
peptide, HbA (1c) blood glucose
profile, LPL, and the risk of cer-
tain cancers. High amounts of
C-reactive protein in the blood
are linked to cardiovascular dis-
ease.
Glycemic index and load have
been proven to be related to the
incidence of type 2 diabetes.
Low glycemic diets have been
shown to reduce the risk of type
2 diabetes by over 40 percent.
The risk of type 2 diabetes is
highest in persons ingesting
foods with a high glycemic load.
Adding exercise to a low
glycemic diet further lowers
risk of type 2 diabetes by 58
percent.
In type 1 diabetes, utilizing a
low glycemic diet and low
glycemic snacks can lower
serum fructosamine levels,
triglycerides, and postprandial
blood glucose, as compared to
other diets. In children with
type 1 diabetes, low glycemic
diets significantly reduced HbA
(1c) levels as compared to the
traditional carbohydrate
exchange system.
Research has shown that a low
glycemic diet improves
glycemic control, some lipid
profiles, and fibrinolysis in per-
sons with type 2 diabetes.
Researcher S. W. Rizkalla, MD,
Ph.D. states, “Although focusing
on the total amount of carbohy-
drate intake is important for
diabetic patients, using low

Helping those in need is one of the highest expres-
sions of human goodness. The charitable impulse
opens our hearts to the world and makes us realize
our common humanity. When we step outside of our-
selves and stand up for a cause we believe in, we grow
in moral stature and become aware of the universal
ties that bind each of us together in a common fate.

Indra is the supreme

Every religion emphasizes the impor-

Glycemic Index (Continued from Page 4)
glycemic index carbohydrates could lead to
additional benefits without increasing the
fat content of the diet and consequently
increasing plasma free fatty acids (FFAs),
with all their deleterious consequences.”
Dr. Rizkella and colleagues found that “Only
four weeks of a low glycemic index diet was
able to improve glycemic control, glucose
utilization, some lipid profiles, and the
capacity for fibrinolysis in type 2 diabetes”
and concluded that even if changes in
glycemic control are modest, the use of a
low glycemic index diet plays an important
role in the treatment and prevention of dia-
betes and related disorders.
Research has also shown that low glycemic
foods reduce insulin resistance per se and
improve metabolic effects related to insulin
resistance (Daubresse 2000, Frost et al,
2000).
The Role Of Insulin In
Diabetes And Obesity
The American Diabetes Association (ADA)
64th Scientific Session (2004) report on the
significance of Key Signaling Elements in
Insulin Action elucidated the importance of
understanding the action of insulin in
humans.
In the report, Harvard Medical School
researcher, Dr. Katja A. Lamia, discussed
the role of insulin-signaling pathways, such
as P13-kinase, which is a positive signaling
mechanism for insulin sensitivity. Dr.
Lamia’s studies show that a loss of P13-
kinase regulatory subunits (p110 and p85)

leads to enhanced insulin sensitivity, which
can affect body fat.
The JNK-interacting protein 1 (JIP-1) is
expressed in adipose tissue, and studies
show that a deficiency of JIP-1 prevents
obesity induced by a high-fat diet (Dr. R.
David; Univ. of Mass).
In terms of human obesity and diabetes, as
well as all other insulin-related disorders,

dietary control over insulin levels is
mandatory. High glycemic foods over-ele-
vate insulin levels, thus triggering fat-stor-
age mechanisms in humans, such as
Lipoprotein Lipase.
Low glycemic foods prevent stimulation of
adipose tissue fat-storage mechanisms,
thus providing greater control over the
development and maintenance of obesity
and type 2 diabetes.
Blood Glucose And
Sexual Function
Dietary ingestion of high
glycemic foods and snacks over-
elevates blood glucose levels.
Consistent ingestion of high
glycemic foods and snacks keep
blood glucose levels higher than
normal. High blood glucose
(blood sugar) levels are associat-
ed with erectile dysfunction
(ED) in males.
In females, high blood glucose
levels increase risk of urinary
tract and yeast infections, mak-
ing sexual relations uncomfort-
able. High glucose levels, in both
males and females, can damage
blood vessels and nerves, both of
which play crucial roles in sexu-
al response and performance.

In his book First Things First, noted motiva-
tional author Stephen Covey writes about the
importance of leaving a legacy. We want our
lives to matter, somehow, and we want to
make a difference in the lives of others.
Besides contributing money, we can con-

can inspire people by our atti-
tude, our graciousness and
decency, and by how we treat
those we meet, from the low to
the high.

when the shadowy hand of fate
points a finger your way, when
