0:00Welcome to Zoe, Science and Nutrition, where world-leading scientists explain how their research can improve your health.

0:14The smell of freshly baked bread hits you.

0:17You start salivating.

0:19You have a slice.

0:20Let's be honest, it's delicious and you have two slices.

0:24Within minutes, your body turns the bread into glucose and your blood sugar starts to spike.

0:29Sensing this, your body releases just enough insulin to lower your blood sugar back to normal.

0:34Too much blood sugar spells serious trouble, but too little and your body shuts down.

0:40Permanently.

0:41So what happens if this magic hormone that controls your blood sugar can no longer get your cells to listen?

0:47What if this delicate balancing act is upended?

0:50Insulin is a metabolic peacekeeper, keeping blood sugar on a tight leash.

0:55Not too much, not too little.

0:57And if it fails, metabolic war can break out, significantly increasing your risk of chronic conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, even dementia.
