The Truth About Taters And Diabetes

Whether you prefer them baked, fried, boiled or mashed, potatoes may be doing more than filling your stomach. They may also be increasing your chances of developing Type 2 diabetes. According to a recent study from the Osaka Center for Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in Japan, increased consumption of potatoes, especially French fries, correlates with an increased incidence of diabetes. Eating a potato a day, in fact, raises the risk by 33 percent, and a mere two to four servings a week result in a 7 percent greater likelihood of developing Type 2 diabetes.
Americans have a love affair with the potato. Every year people in the United States consume an average of 126 pounds of potatoes per person. In Britain, the number is even higher, with an average consumption of 207 pounds per year. Yet, as outlined in Harvard’s Healthy Eating Plate and elsewhere, people shouldn’t bother considering potatoes one of their daily servings of fruits and vegetables. While botanically the potato is classified as a vegetable, nutritionally it falls into the category of starches.
To be sure, there are health benefits to potatoes. In addition to being low in fat, they’re high in fiber, and pack a healthy dose of vitamin C and a decent amount of vitamin B6 and magnesium.
However, the immense amount of carbohydrates in potatoes, specifically the type of carbohydrates that the body processes quickly, results in an influx of insulin and blood sugar. What’s worse is that it then causes both to rapidly drop. That’s a quick fluctuation.
When served hot, potatoes are even more conc Continue reading

SCIENCE HAS FOUND A PLANT THAT CURES HIV, FIGHTS DIABETES AND CANCER, BUT BIG PHARMA DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW!!!

There are numerous natural remedies which have powerful medicinal properties that can fight many diseases even better than conventional medications, but the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t want you to know that. This will cut down their profits significantly, so there’s no reason for the public to know that there are cheap cures for even the deadliest diseases.
Nature has a cure for all diseases and conditions – we just need to know where to look for it. Many plants can be made into homemade remedies that can even treat cancer. Take guanabana for example – this central American plant can cure diabetes and regulate your blood sugar levels, but you won’t read about that in the mass media. The amazing plant, also known as soursop, can also help you treat HIV, cancer, as well as any problems with the liver, kidneys, prostate and thyroid.
The soursop plant has cytotoxic properties, meaning that it can destroy cancer cells without affecting the healthy ones. It’s a completely natural therapy with no side-effects that won’t harm your immune system like chemotherapy. Guanabana extract can destroy the cancer cells of 12 different types of cancer, and is said to be 10 000 times stronger than the effects of Adriamycin, a common chemotherapy drug. Unlike conventional cancer treatments, the fruit won’t affect your healthy cells.
There have been several studies on the effects of sour sop on cancer since the 70’s. Many of them have shown that the fruit is highly effective against different cancer cells, but since then, there has been a small amount of lab tests because B Continue reading

Can Okra Help Diabetes?

Can Okra Help Diabetes?
As a diabetes educator, I have had many questions regarding “the cure for diabetes.”
Recently, there have been many questions about okra and its supposed curative effect on diabetes.
So far, I had not heard anything from any of the physicians I work with and had not read any peer-reviewed studies but figured if so many of my patients were wondering about it, and it warranted a bit more research.
What is Okra?
For those of you who have never eaten okra, I never have either!
Okra, also known as abelmoschus esculentus, is a vegetable grown in warm weather climates.
It is often used as a thickener in soups but is also chopped into stews, or fried and boiled. It is a dieters dream vegetable because it is very low in calories – 30 calories per 100 grams with no saturated fat or cholesterol and very rich in nutrients.
Can Okra Help Diabetes?
As it turns out, just because I had not read any articles about the use of okra for diabetes management does not mean there weren’t any out there!
According to Diabetes Self-Management, numerous reputable studies have been performed and published touting the benefits.
For example, a 2005 study from Taiwan in the Taiwanese journal Planta Medica used okra to treat diabetes in rats. The researchers used myricetin, a chemical elicited from okra and administered it to the rats via an IV. The myricetin allowed to the rats’ muscles to greater utilize the glucose ingested, decreasing glucose levels.
Another study from Bangladesh, published in ISRN Pharmaceuticals, published their results showing that okra given to rat Continue reading

Tom Hanks Looks At His Type 2 Diabetes In Such A Humorous, But Inspiring Way

We’ve said it time and time again that diabetes doesn’t make any exceptions for anyone. In an interview with David Letterman on the Late Show, Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe award-winner, Tom Hanks, announced his most recent type 2 diabetes diagnosis.
Dealing with high-blood sugar levels since the age of 36, his doctor was quick to let him know that he “graduated” and now had type 2 diabetes. Finding humor and the silver lining of his diagnosis, Tom let the audience know that despite his diagnosis it’s still a controllable disease. However, it did mean he would have to “pull off a level of actorly weight control to rival Christian Bale and Robert De Niro.” Take it from Tom, you are the boss of your diabetes don’t let it dictate your life!
