'nuther question for Duncan

[Guest guest]

Hi Dr. D.,

Since I am trying to figure out this SomaLife thing too, like everyone

else, I'm wondering if I'm reading correctly, the following abstract

or whatever it is from your site, pasted below. I am not diagnosed

diabetic, but I'm 100+ lbs. overweight, and totally insulin and leptin

resistant. In considering taking Somalife or any amino acid stack, I

found it a bit disturbing that it reads as though taking amino acids

jacks up ones insulin levels - significantly. This is a bad thing for

those of us fighting resistance.

Can you shed some light?

Amino Acid ingestion strongly enhances insulin secretion in patients

with long-term type 2 diabetes.

.... bunch of names snipped

CONCLUSIONS-The insulin secretory capacity in long-term type 2

diabetic patients is substantially underestimated, as the insulin

response following carbohydrate intake can be nearly tripled by

coingestion of a free amino acid/protein mixture. Future research

should be performed to investigate whether such nutritional

interventions can improve postprandial glucose disposal.
