I promise the full review will be up soon, little lexi came down with a cold and needed some extra love! But here is another exert (although you really should just go out and buy the whole book!):
“As if effects of elevated insulin on cholesterol were not bad enough we add insult to injury when blood pressure increases in response to elevated insulin levels. When blood insulin levels increase, we make more of a hormone called aldosterone. Aldosterone causes our kidneys to retain sodium. In biology cases there is a common saying “water follows salt.”If we retain sodium, we retain water. And when we retain water, the pressure increases in our arteries and veins, making it easier for them to become damaged. Turbulent flow irritates the vascular beds and causes them to thicken. This thickening, combined with arterial plaques, can narrow the vital arteries to our heart, brain, and other organs.” Pg 76
