It's not the cops fault you were speeding.

We're not trying to eliminate insulin. We're trying to manage it and keep it at constant, natural, levels. We don't want our hormones spiking unnaturally. That's an indication to your body of a crisis; like a fight-or-flight or a famine. Insulin is not bad, it is merely reacting to our consumption of high-glycemic food. It's doing its job. It's like a cop that has to deal with more criminals or speeders. Eventually, if crime or speeding doesn't stop, the department will hire more cops to deal with it. The more cops, the more crime has to grow to maintain it's presence and as such so do the cops. Eventually, we'll run out of cops to keep the peace and crime will spread. Things will spiral out of control quickly. It's a vicious cycle that must break somewhere.
