Abstract
This paper attempts to review available pertinent scientific and medical literature that the current global epidemic of obesity and diabetes has increased simultaneously or contemporaneously with adverse metabolic events. There is widespread established evidence that the type of carbohydrate consumed is important in the development or prevention of insulin resistance, obesity, and the metabolic syndrome. There is scarcity of published data on the combined effects of interactions between micronutrients, carbohydrates and lipids. However, there are extensive data supporting the benefits of the effects of both carbohydrates and lipids on various mechanisms of energy balance and diseases. Adequate measure is necessary to control carbohydrate-lipid interactions as they impact on obesity and diabetes.
Highlights
The exponential increase of chronic diseases, such as diabetes and obesity is predicted to escalate exponentially with co-existence of the two diseases and diverse organ disorders globally in the human population
Diet is a potent functionality in modulating metabolic syndrome expression that is associated with the levels and varieties of carbohydrates and fats as well as their interactions as significant parameters
Evidence abound indicating that the carbohydrate type is significant to developing or preventing insulin resistance, obesity, and the metabolic syndrome which need to be taken into cognizance to prevent, control and treat the presenting condition [2, 3]
Summary
The exponential increase of chronic diseases, such as diabetes and obesity is predicted to escalate exponentially with co-existence of the two diseases and diverse organ disorders globally in the human population. Diet is a potent functionality in modulating metabolic syndrome expression that is associated with the levels and varieties of carbohydrates and fats as well as their interactions as significant parameters. There are extant expansive data undergirding the advantageous impact of both fat and carbohydrates moieties on diverse mechanisms of energy balance, metabolism and disorders. Evidence abound indicating that the carbohydrate type is significant to developing or preventing insulin resistance, obesity, and the metabolic syndrome which need to be taken into cognizance to prevent, control and treat the presenting condition [2, 3]. The rate of obesity has been exacerbated globally, imposing on already augmented social burden regarding quality of life
