A New Look at Diabetes with Russell Jaffe, MD

submitted by: admin on 05/08/2015

The chemistry of diabetes is discussed. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are autoimmune diseases and we're now learning about the specific chemicals that lead to this state. Leaky membranes and hyperacidity explain much of why diabetes develops. High levels of sugar are toxic to body proteins. High insulin levels and metabolic syndrome are also reviewed.

Abdominal Fat Causes Osteoporosis

submitted by: admin on 05/08/2015

Abdominal fat causes inflammation and osteoporosis. So the metabolic syndrome is associated with bone thinning as well as insulin resistance, hypertension, elevated triglycerides and fat storage. It is very important to avoid sugar, especially high fructose corn syrup, and to exercise to lose abdominal fat. Lifestyle is important medicine. Addendum: Since...

Are Carbohydrates Important When Losing Weight?

submitted by: admin on 05/16/2015

It is possible to identify chemicals that induce autoimmunity and diabetes. It is possible to treat diabetes on the basis of the LRA by ELISA/ACT test, which is explained.

Do Low Fat Foods Make Us Fat?

submitted by: admin on 09/20/2013

Low fat foods tend to be replaced with sugar and extra sugar is converted to fat. Excess sugar also leads to high insulin levels, hypertension, high triglycerides, and abdominal obesity. High fat, low carb diets lead to using fat for energy production, which is a healthy thing.

Epidemic of Nutritionally Based Diseases with Geoffrey Marx

submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013

Diabetes and obesity are the greatest health care issues we face today. High fructose corn syrup is found in most foods, even fruit juices now; this is one of the biggest factors we see. Soft drinks have about 12 teaspoons of HFCS. 25% of the US has the precursor of diabetes; the metabolic sydrome.

Food Addictions in Kids, Are They Related to Hormonal Imbalances?

submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013

Foods can be addictive and a key reason for pediatric obesity is related to high calorie, low fiber diets that promote changes in hormones. Sugar addiction underlies many of the hormonal changes that lead to the metabolic syndrome.

Fructose is Alcohol without the Buzz

submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013

High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and table sugar (sucrose) are both made of glucose and fructose. HFCS contains glucose and fructose as single sugars and sucrose contains them connected together (as a double sugar or disaccharide). HFCS may contain as much as 55% fructose as opposed to sucrose, which has 50% each. Many scientists believe that both sucrose...

Fruit that Protects Against Obesity and Diabetes

submitted by: admin on 09/21/2013

Stone fruit such as peaches, plums, and nectarines have phenolic compounds that include anthocyanins, clorogenic acids, quercetin and catechins that work on fat cells, macrophages, and vascular endothelial cells to protect against inflammation that causes obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. They could possibly be a weapon against the metabolic...

Gut Microbes Linked to Weight and Metabolic Syndrome

submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013

Scientists at the University of Maryland School of Medicine published in the August 2012 issue of PLoS a study showing that there are at least 26 species of bacteria linked to obesity and the metabolic syndrome traits such as body mass, triglycerides, cholesterol, glucose levels, CRP, insulin resistance, and high blood pressure. We know that many...

HDL Cholesterol is Not Always Protective

submitted by: admin on 02/19/2015

The Framingham Study showed that for every rise of 1 mg/dL of HDL cholesterol, there was a 2% drop in the risk of an MI. However, not all HDL cholesterol is protective. HDL's protective effect depends on the environment in which it exists. In premenopausal women, generally HDL is protective. However, in postmenopausal women who have the metabolic syndrome...

How Do We Get and Get Rid Of Type 2 Diabetes?

submitted by: admin on 01/09/2017

Type 2 diabetes is largely a disease of lifestyle, especially diet and exercise. However, stress, sleep, and certain pharmaceutical drugs predispose to developing it. The metabolic syndrome is discussed and the concept of insulin resistance is reviewed.

Is Sugar a Poison?

submitted by: admin on 10/09/2013

The rise of obesity is not just from eating too much and lack of exercise. Our consumption of sugar has increased over the past century from 15 to 75 grams a day. This translates to about 150 lbs of sugar a year! Fructose is one of the components of table sugar, or sucrose, and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and is the culprit that leads to insulin...

Naturopathy Reduces Cardiovascular Risk Factors

submitted by: admin on 10/12/2013

According to a study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal in April of 2013, naturopathic care enhanced conventional care from MDs by showing a 17% reduction in prevalence of the metabolic syndrome over a one year period. Primary healthcare supposedly provides in-depth lifestyle counselling, however, why then does ND care lower...

submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013

Drinking a liter of soda a day for 6 months increases the amount of fat that will accumulate in the liver, muscles, and abdomen by 25% according to a December 2011 article published in the AJCN.
