In a cohort study of about 4,300 girls, those who binged frequently -- without "purging," or using laxatives or vomiting after a big meal -- had nearly a four-fold increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, even after controlling for body mass index.Geez Louise. This is really getting tedious. Correlation vs Causation again.
Binge eating involves taking in a large amount of food, which is usually highly processed and high in carbohydrates, especially sugar, Field said. This initiates a hefty insulin response, which could cumulatively exhaust the beta cells, raising the risk of insulin resistance.
Why do "obesity experts" seem unaware that hypoglycemia induces binge eating?
The hyperinsulinemia comes first. The pathology Always Always Always comes first.
I really wish someone would do some real science and perform hyperinsulinemic euglycemic patch clamp tests on those girls.
