Insulin promotes fat storage and inhibits fat burning from "summary" of The Diabetes Code by Dr. Jason Fung
Insulin, the hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels, plays a crucial role in determining whether we store fat or burn it for energy. When insulin levels are high, our bodies are in storage mode, storing excess glucose as fat.
