Can you imagine developing a compound which actually addresses the core reason why we gain weight, become diabetic, or feel exhausted and prematurely old? Leading scientists at the University of Toronto have made what we believe may be one of the greatest discoveries of our time. Will change your life, even if you don't TM Would you like to know what they discovered? A unique combination of natural fibres that can prevent or correct something that affects almost everyone to some degree: insulin resistance. You probably remember being taught in school about the different food groups and the importance of eating a balanced diet. That's because different foods affect the amount of sugar (or glucose) in our blood. And it's important not to cause blood sugar levels to rise or fall too dramatically or too frequently over the course of the day. But poor eating habits and genetic disposition can cause blood sugar levels to spike out of control, eventually causing insulin resistance, a condition where the body can no longer properly regulate the amount of sugar in the blood. This can lead to a variety of health problems including obesity, Metabolic Syndrome, type II diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. O ve r a p e r io d of m a ny ye a r s , t he un ique polysaccharide (fibre) complex developed by Dr. Vuksan's research team at the University of Toronto evolved into a more sophisticated and palatable raw material called PGX (PolyGlycopleX®). Subsequent scientific collaboration between Dr. Vuksan and Dr. Lyon, Research Director at the Canadian Center for Functiona l Medicine, focused on the connection between blood sugar and weight gain. They discovered that when we suffer from insulin resistance, glucose doesn't get inside the cells, so the appetite control centres in the brain send out powerful messages to eat. But once your blood sugar is back under control, you no longer receive those messages, allowing you to control your appetite. And when you can effectively control appetite, you can reduce your food consumption and lose weight. Most of you have heard of something called the "glycemic index." It was developed by scientists at the Risk Factor Modification Centre at St. Michael's Hospital, and is a powerful tool for measuring the impact different foods have on the amount of sugar in our blood. Using the glycemic index, scientists were able to prove that when PGX was taken with various foods, it reduced the glycemic index of those foods by up to 50%. Further tests and clinical trials proved that by effectively bringing uncontrolled and er ratic blood suga r levels back under control, PGX reduced insulin resistance and helped people lose weight. An added benefit of PGX is that due to its incredible viscosity, it creates and maintains a satisfying sense of fullness, reducing hunger pangs and food cravings. healthier way of eating. Based on sound clinical research, the Hunger Free Forever Program helps you tame your appetite and tune your metabolism for lifelong weight control. According to Dr. Murray, "No diet, drug, or other natural product can do what PGX can do... If PGX was a drug, it would be the most widely-prescribed drug in North America!" PGX has also been proven to be completely safe, non-habit forming, and stimulant free.
