Disabled by a Cheap Food Diet
The most disabling diseases in medical practice today are disseminated arterial diseases. The are all caused by our faulty diet over a long time. The bodies we have were designed for an uncertain food supply. Feast and famine. Getting fat sometimes using our glucose metabolism, and but then reverting to our lipid metabolism, when the season or our circumstances changed. Food supply may be uncertain for a month or so, and we may become leaner. That kept our system adaptive and healthy.

Today because of relative wealth and supermarkets, we can feast almost every day. If we are short of money we can buy very cheap food. We need never be hungry. The very cheap food is always carbohydrate, bread, potatoes, rice, wheat, soy, and other grains. That's a problem for our bodies. In the short term we will cope, but long term we need nutrition of better quality. Otherwise we get sick, as many of us are.

Noakes continues. In the last month, (September 2016) I believe that we've demonstrated how excess insulin causes the body to store fat both in and around the liver. Fatty liver is a painless, undiagnosed problem that too many people have, that will in future make them very ill.
If there are excessive carbohydrates in your diet, that drives the body to produce extra insulin. Eventually carbohydrate intolerance or insulin resistance develops, and that increases the insulin in the vascular system. Inflammation develops and at a later stage "diseases" are identified. These diseases as a group are called metabolic syndrome.
