I discovered something called hyperinsulemia. The medical community claims they don't know the cause of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, etc. The root cause of most western diseases is hyperinsulemia. Everything else is a symptom of this. They dish out medications to treat the symptoms of hyperinsulemia, which can be treated by changing your diet. Hyperinsulemia means you have too much insulin in your blood. Ironically, they give out more insulin to help diabetics reduce their blood sugar. The treatment is to restrict carbohydrates while consuming more fats and proteins. (I read this from a book, will add source later).
