Benhaimglands into disuse, causing a wide range of diseases. Glucagen is
another substance released from the pancreas after the
consumption of a protein0rich meal – such as one containing
hemp seed. Glucagen actually helps the movement of previously
stored fat, but beneficial glucagen is suppressed by high glucose
levels.
The reason the body’s energy levels do not fluctuate up
and down all day, as a result of different foods consumed, is
because the body can deal with varied food types fairly well.
However, too much effort by the pancreas to maintain the blood
sugar level will in time tire the adrenal glands so they cannot bring
the sugar concentration back up to the correct level. The adrenals
are called on as the pancreas reacts so fast to the extra glucose
load that it secretes excess insulin, thus reducing the blood sugar
level too far. Now, the weak adrenals cannot get the blood sugar
level up easily and this results in hypoglycemia. Many children are
born with badly functioning adrenals since the mother has already
had an adrenal problem. Caffeine (tea, coffee, cola, chocolate)
stimulates the adrenal gland whose hormones include those
effecting the breakdown of liver glycogen, releasing it as a blood
sugar which gives coffee that stimulating effect. This stimulus is
mistaken as sugar from a meal which makes the pancreas force
blood sugar to its normal level. Through repeated stimulation, the
pancreas becomes oversensitive to normal food stimulation.
Sugars also suppress the functions of our immune
systems, support the breeding of food allergies and joint and
muscle pains. Sugar increases our body’s production of adrenalin
by four times, causing a stress reaction, increasing production of
cholesterol and cortisone and prohibiting efficient use of our
immune system. Sugar that lacks the vitamin and minerals needed
for its own metabolism pulls on the body’s own store of such
nutrients that have more important uses such as burning off fat,
metabolizing cholesterol and production of important bile acids.
Our cholesterol levels rise, metabolic rates go down and we feel
less inclined to do exercise which may contribute to the recent
