even among people who say what you're saying - there's just so many things that raise insulin levels or contribute to insulin-resistance.

people assume it's sugar. and a lot of it is and it's the first thing people should cut back on.

but people are surprised zero-calorie artificial sweeteners and crystalized versions of stevia and monk fruit do.

people aren't even aware that omega6s PUFAs (which we're supposed to have a 1:1 ratio with omega3s, and are supposed to have both in fairly low levels) also impact insulin resistance

activity does, sleep does, things impact it positively like a wide range of plant foods or teas.

but more simply - without going into the whys or the science, if generally speaking people cut out A. Sugar and B. processed foods (thus removing a ton of salt and omega6s) people would be a million times better off.
