And speaking of hormones, another
effect of high blood sugar is that it
blunts the ability of your body to release growth hormone (aka, the youth hormone), so if you
want to look and feel younger, cereals are NOT helping you in that department!
There's evidence that for women like you and I who
want to optimize our growth hormone (we're making less of it now than in our 20s) and muscle protein synthesis (we're not as good at that either), waiting about an hour until the muscle protein synthesis
blunting effect dissipates will help us improve lean muscle tissue.
