A person with insulin resistance will divert a greater proportion of
dietary carbohydrate to the liver where much of it is converted to

dietary carbohydrate into
fat, much of it entering the circulation
as saturated fat, is a metabolic abnormality that significantly increases risk for diabetes and heart disease.

dietary element
as the cause of chronic disease (eg,

dietary elements that underlie their etiology, along with other environmental agents and genetic susceptibility.
