Insulin is a hormone released by the pancreas into our blood, and it is in charge of regulating the amount of glucose (a simple sugar) in our blood. When we consume glucose, insulin is released. The hormone sends the message to our cells to absorb glucose from the blood through a cell surface transporter called Glut-4. Once glucose has entered the cells, a complex interaction of hormones controls the amount of and the rate at which glucose is converted into fat.

Insulin Resistance vastly reduces the number of insulin receptor sites or doorways on the walls of your cells. The average healthy person has some 20,000 receptor sites per cell, while the average overweight individual with PCOS can have as few as 5,000. If you have too few receptor sites, glucose bounces off the cell wall, instead of passing through the insulin door to be burned as energy. With the cell door almost closed to it, glucose remains in the blood stream, causing elevated levels of blood sugar, which are sent to the liver. Once there, the sugar is converted into fat and stored via the blood stream throughout the body. This process can lead to weight gain and obesity, key factors in creating PCOS.

I bet trans fats are bad for insulin. Even labels that say 0 grams of trans fats, have a smaller amount (listed in the ingredients label as 'hydrogenated') that can be felt. What do you think?
