We take a look at a disturbing new medical condition called syndrome X - thought to afflict one in ten people in the UK SUGAR Hidden sugars AWT What's wrong with sugar? References Find out with our BMI calculator Try our heathy eating quiz Sugar - the Metabolic Timebomb? Over the last three decades, fat has been perceived as the main dietary cause of heart disease. While cutting back on fat is good for your waistline and your cholesterol, it now seems that sugar can also increase your risk of heart disease. New evidence is emerging that frequent snacking on sugary foods contributes to a metabolic condition known as syndrome X. What is syndrome X? The term syndrome X, was coined in 1988 by Prof Gerald Reaven of Stanford University, California. The condition describes a perversion of body metabolism that can lead to two life-threatening diseases - heart disease and diabetes. Syndrome X is thought to be alarmingly common, researchers estimate that it afflicts 5 million people in the UK. Dr Reaven calls syndrome X the 'silent killer' because early stages often go unnoticed and most of us won't even know that we have it. What are the symptoms?

Nutricise Think less fat and more carbs is the formula for a healthy heart? Not if you're one of the millions with Syndrome X. You may have heard you should cut back on fat and eat plenty of carbs to reduce your risk of heart disease. What you might not have heard is that this diet, recommended by most health experts, may actually make things much worse. In his aptly titled book, Syndrome X: Overcoming the Silent Killer That Can Give You a Heart Attack, Gerald Reaven, M.D., an endocrinologist at Stanford University, warns that certain individuals may be setting themselves up for a heart attack instead of preventing one by following such a diet. Reaven claims that heart disease is not just a product of hardening arteries. He says it can also stem from a little-known cluster of metabolic abnormalities that he has coined Syndrome X, a condition of elevated triglycerides (blood fats); low HDL (or "good") cholesterol levels; unusually small, dense particles of LDL ("bad") cholesterol; and high insulin levels.

It has been observed for a number of years that conditions such as adult onset diabetes, hypertension, elevated blood levels of cholesterol, elevated serum levels of low-density lipoproteins, obesity, and coronary heart disease are common disorders that often occur in one patient. In 1988 medical researcher and endocrinologist Gerald Reaven theorized that these metabolic and cardiovascular disorders are a multifaceted syndrome characterized by insulin resistance and the resultant elevation of insulin levels in the blood (called hyperinsulinemia). Subsequent studies have shown that increased insulin concentrations in the blood, as a marker of decreased insulin sensitivity, can be correlated with an increased risk of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM). These studies support Reaven's hypothesis, coined Syndrome X , that insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia significantly increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, and in also appears to play an important role in other disease such as cancer. The importance of this finding cannot be understated considering that the clinical features of Syndrome X are found in a majority of patients, if only we consider the popular usage of often dangerous and questionable drug therapies to lower cholesterol and lower blood pressure without treating the cause.

    This book cuts through ALL the fad diets and hones in on the truth about insulin, good and bad fats, and how to prevent heart attack from the high insulin levels of Syndrome X. Its a tasty diet that Ive found easy to stick to, that emphasizes non-insulin stimulating monounsaturated fat to replace carbohydrate calories. Those carb calories can cause insulin levels to climb dangerously high. My doctor says I have Syndrome X- so thank you Dr. Reaven for your book that came just in time for me.

    Metabolic syndrome is diagnosed when a person has three or more of the following conditions: abdominal obesity, high triglyceride levels, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, and high fasting glucose levels (see the table below). People who have metabolic syndrome, which is also known as syndrome X or insulin resistance syndrome, are at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease and are at greater risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and other causes. Insulin Resistance: The Key Factor to Metabolic Syndrome
    Gerald Reaven, M.D., a professor of medicine at Stanford University, was the first scientist to identify that people with high insulin levels have an increased risk of heart disease. In a book that he coauthored, Syndrome X: Overcoming the Silent Killer That Can Give You a Heart Attack Under normal conditions, insulin allows glucose to move into the cells of the body, where glucose is used to produce energy. However, when normal amounts of insulin are not able to transport glucose into the cells, insulin resistance occurs. In other words, the cells resist the action of insulin and the glucose cannot pass through the cell membrane even when normal amounts of insulin are present. When this happens the pancreas must produce more insulin to maintain normal blood glucose levels. People with metabolic syndrome have higher levels of glucose in their blood, although it is still within the normal range, and they are not diabetic.
