Today’s Three Contestants On The Diabetes Front Are…
Well, I am back. I apologize, I haven’t been around for a few days. My middle daughter had surgery late last week and we 
have been nursing a hurtin’ little 5 year old back to “healthy”. She’s almost there. Kids sure do bounce back quicker than adults, don’t they?
There hasn’t been much out there in the way of “new news” either. I did see an updated report on the drug Avandia. The study out of Wake Forest University School of Medicine reports that there is an increased risk of heart attack by 42 percent and a doubled risk of heart failure with long term use of the diabetic drug.
Science Daily is reporting that the there has been a third abnormality found in the link between obese patients and type 2 diabetics. Apparently, neurons in our brains don’t become “excited” enough to respond to the high levels of glucose, thus not acting properly in lowering ones blood sugar.
And I did see one, for lack of a better word, interesting piece of research. It seems that a researcher out of Lincoln University questions milk consumption and diseases such as diabetes. Hmm???? There are two different “strains” of milk and the most common is what most of the Western world consumes. This strain of milk contains a tiny bio-active peptide fragment that can breakdown and trigger so many of our ailments… diabetes, heart disease, autism, schizophrenia, infant cot-death syndrome, multiple sclerosis, celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease.
Oh my, research is everywhere. I tend to “take it with a grain of salt”. Some of it is validated and easy to read through, other is murky, confusing and utterly ridiculous. But I will let you be your own judge on today’s contestants, as I must go now… my lil’ one is crying for her “mmmooooommmmmmyyy”.
