Over the past ten years it has become apparent that a number of health problems which cause heart attacks are found together in many people. These include high blood sugar levels, high blood fat levels (especially triglycerides), overweight, high blood pressure and increased blood clotting. When these are found together they are referred to as Syndrome X.

The underlying problems in people with Syndrome X are that the body is insensitive to insulin and there are high levels of insulin in the blood. These high insulin levels are thought to cause many of the problems found in this syndrome. There are a number of ways that high insulin levels can cause high blood pressure.

High insulin levels in the blood after eating are the result of the carbohydrate in the food. As we have shown before, the high G.I. factor foods cause much higher insulin levels than low G.I. factor foods. One way of controlling the high insulin levels in the blood is to eat low G.I. factor foods. Such a diet will help correct many of the problems found in Syndrome X.
