Laura Deleruyelle is an advanced practice nurse who is working hard to warn people about the dangers of sugar. Among these dangers is the relationship that sugar shares with insulin. Excess sugar consumption has been linked with insulin resistance. Insulin resistance issues are believed to play a big part in many diseases, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, and of course, diabetes. This is mostly typical in Western diets, as they tend to be high in carbohydrates and calories. By learning to stay away from high sugar intakes, opting for more plant-based and fish protein and low-fat diets, we can lead happier and longer lives.

Laura Deleruyelle notes that the real problem with excess sugar consumption occurs when people lead very inactive lifestyles but still consume large amounts of sugar. This causes a lot of fructose to bombard the liver, overloading it and forcing it to turn that excess fructose into fat. It also causes the body to build resistance against insulin, which help cells use glucose. Too much glucose in the body can be toxic and cause things like blindness and even death.

Laura Deleruyelle emphasizes that only by arming ourselves with the proper education and making good diet and exercise choices can we hope to battle the sugar epidemic. This can improve the lifespan substantially of those willing to adhere by a sugar-free lifestyle. This is because many studies have shown that excess sugar consumption is directly linked to the development of insulin resistance. Without insulin working in the body, you can suffer brain damage, or slip into a coma and die.

Laura Deleruyelle has observed that diabetes is also becoming a more common disease thanks to increasingly sedentary lifestyles and more carbohydrate dominant food choices. That is why it is so important to spread awareness about the harmful effects of sugar. It is important to note however, that it is very difficult to overload the liver using sugars obtained from fruit, as they simply do not have a high enough density of sugars to produce the fructose necessary for you to do so.
