Overeating has been found to impair blood sugar (glucose) control and insulin levels. A new study suggests that the duration of a bout of overeating can affect how the body adapts glucose and insulin processing when calorie intake increases. The research was published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism. Obesity and type 2 diabetes have increased significantly worldwide within the past 30 years. Lifestyle factors such as overindulging in high-calorie foods play a large role in the development of these two serious health conditions. Understanding how snacking and overeating causes changes in blood sugar control […]
[…]high chicken meat resistance rates, suggesting that the federal government has failed to combat antibiotic resistance from factory farming.” 1 He went on to say, “The Federal Government has a special responsibility not only for the health of its own population, but also beyond Germany, and in the past year alone almost one million tonnes of chicken meat were exported. The poultry meat industry is also exporting antibiotic resistance and related health risks, not least to countries with very weak health systems.” (He gets it.)

[…]could explain the elevated risk of death: research suggests that sugary beverages increase insulin resistance (known to raise the risk of cardiovascular disease) and fructose consumption may stimulate hormones that promote weight gain around the waist. RELATED STORY: Diet Soda May be Tied to Stroke, Dementia Risk Marta Guasch-Ferré, a research scientist in the Department of Nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Dr. Frank B. Hu, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, wrote in an editorial published alongside the new study that although this is one of the first studies to look at sugary […]
[…]of the insulin counter-regulatory hormones, glucagon and FABP4, and the development of insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and gradual weight gain. The relevance of propionate to insulin resistance and obesity in humans was also suggested in a large, long-term, dietary interventional study (DIRECT), in which the reduction in plasma propionate in response to a weight-loss diet was independently associated with improved insulin sensitivity.”1 Furthermore, the researchers wisely state in their study that there are alternatives that could be used for food preservation that would yield public health benefits, such as vinegar, essential oils and wheat starches. They also warn that repeated daily […]

[…]state that keeps a watchful eye on everyone, in search of possible rebels and points of resistance. Censorship is the norm in this world, and is so extreme that individuals can become “unpersons” who are essentially deleted from society because their ideas were considered dangerous by the establishment. This is an idea that is very familiar to activists and independent journalists who are being removed from the public conversation for speaking out about government and corporate corruption on social media.

[…]sugar for energy rather than oxygen. In the laboratory this drug/vitamin combo overcame treatment resistance as well. Researchers were initially investigating fenbendazole because it was interfering with anti-tumor studies with other drugs. Given that pinworms are a common problem in laboratories where mice are employed in pre-clinical testing of anti-cancer drugs, use of fenbendazole to clear these animals of parasites is standard practice. Unexpectedly, fenbendazole halted the growth of implanted human lymphoma cells in rodents. Whereas implanted tumors take hold and grow 80-100% of the time, in this experiment none of the implanted tumors grew among 40 animals over a 30-day […]
[…]in the blood, but that the body doesn’t recognize the insulin it’s making.”1 And insulin resistance is a potential cause of cancer because both high insulin and insulin resistance will promote the production of a hormone called insulin-like growth factor 1, which regulates cell growth on the one hand but can also stimulate the growth of cancer cells.

[…]he was supposed to continue to undergo treatment. (It’s a worse version of taking an entire antibiotic course, something experts all agree now is unnecessary.) “But when the couple refused additional chemo treatment for Noah, and failed to show up to a treatment appointment last week, child protective investigators in Hillsborough County got a court order to take Noah into custody. Authorities issued an endangered child alert Monday, and the family’s photos appeared on TV screens and websites. Within hours, police found McAdams, 28, and Bland-Ball, 22, at a Kentucky motel, and took Noah to a hospital. The parents are […]
[…]that antibiotics they commonly used 10 years ago are no longer effective. Each time we take an antibiotic, bacteria can develop the same kind of resistance in our bodies, which is why the overuse of the drugs is so dangerous. Americans are among the highest consumers of antibiotics in the world. More than 250 million prescriptions are written every year. One-third of them unnecessary, according to the centers for disease control. And in India – and many other developing countries – antibiotic use is on the rise and you can often buy the drugs over the counter, no prescription required. […]
