High sugar consumption is implicated in the disease of the brain, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. While the correlation of dementia risk, and specifically Alzheimer’s disease, with diabetes has been established, this new finding throws a much wider net in terms of defining an at risk population for an incurable brain disorder. But despite the potentialContinue reading “Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes , 5.4 million Alzheimer’s cases in USA”

Liver Hormone is a cause of insulin resistance, which can lead to obesity
Insulin Resistance can lead to obesity. Researchers have identified a hormone produced and secreted by the liver as a previously unknown cause of insulin resistance. The findings, in the November issue of Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication, suggest a new target for the treatment of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, the researchers say.Continue reading “Liver Hormone is a cause of insulin resistance, which can lead to obesity”

Critical illness, most feared than death, is one reason why some file for bankruptcy by Dan Mangan
These people fear the bill collector more than the Grim Reaper. Among workers ages 40 and 50, nearly half fear the financial consequences of a critical illness-compared with just 29 percent who rate dying as their biggest concern, according to a new study. That fear of a hit to the wallet being a bigger concernContinue reading “Critical illness, most feared than death, is one reason why some file for bankruptcy by Dan Mangan”

Viral infection affects the vascular system and the brain
Past infections (Chlamydia pneumoniae, Helicobacter pylori, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus 1 and 2) may contribute to vascular risks and cognitive impairment (brain, behavior and computation) Objective: We hypothesized that infectious burden (IB), a composite serologic measure of exposure to common pathogens (i.e., Chlamydia pneumoniae, Helicobacter pylori, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus 1 and 2)Continue reading “Viral infection affects the vascular system and the brain”
Toxic chemicals /environmental toxins/carcinogens affect the estrogens/other hormones in our cells
When we wash pesticides from our produce, we do it because they alter our body cells and create an imbalance in our hormones. Some of these chemicals are estrogenic, affecting the normal estrogen levels in our body. When we eat corned beef, we add cabbage and tomatoes in the hopes that toxins will be excretedContinue reading “Toxic chemicals /environmental toxins/carcinogens affect the estrogens/other hormones in our cells”

Where do we stand on our fight against cancer causing substances?
We keep adding a list of these carcinogens or toxins each year. We have produced and manufactured foods in the factory in greater quantities and have to rely on so many chemicals. Educating the public about the hazards of these carcinogens is very slow and tricky. We have seen an increase in number of womenContinue reading “Where do we stand on our fight against cancer causing substances?”
