The focus should be on what causes the system to break down and stop functioning properly. For me, I think I've figured that out. Too many carbohydrates in my diet.

My concerns as well. It's nice to understand the underlying mechanism in order to "turn off" the switch. What's also nice is to understand how to manipulate the switch through diet composition. Wouldn't that seem the be the healthier approach?
