How long can you starve for??

Apparently about 40 days, thats the amount of time the human body can go without food.
That quite a while, over a month without eating a thing.
Yet we pack it in every three hours on average.
How do we manage to eat that much yet still remain hungry most of the day?
The body has processes that occur when food is digested. on of these involves breaking down and assimilating carbohydrates. Part of this process involves a hormone called insulin. created in the pancreas, insulin is responisible for the metabolisation of carbohydrate. Allowing the gateways to our cell Nucleus's to open, whereby the glucose molecules enter.
If this process didnt occur we'd be in very serious trouble.
Diabetes to be more precise.
Indeed, insulin plays a vital role in our body's glucose uptake and energy output.
Insulin is also resplonsible for something else, although not intentionally created to cause this hinderance, never the less, a hinderace it does cause.
