Skin tags was Re: More on kombucha

[Guest guest]

I saw something last year that said skin tags were a sign of

developing insulin resistance and/or Syndrome X.

I know someone who got skin tags while pregnant. I assume the

lowered level of physical activity and a high-carb, SADdiet would

have something to do with that.

QUESTION: Does anyone know what the connection is between candida and

insulin resistance...besides eating too many simple carbs? Does the

higher level of insulin contribute to overgrowth of candida? But not

everyone gets candida overgrowth, right? Is that part a function of

whether or not you have sufficient " good " microorganism in your

system?

Just curious.
