Diabetic people have from 4 to 8 times pancreas cancer. Cancer cells live on sugar, and fructose just may be their favorite food. Previously, researchers assumed that two types of sugar, glucose and fructose, were interchangeable. But fructose makes a distinct contribution to the growth of cancer cells in the pancreas by facilitating the production of the cancer’s genetic material. Fructose has become a bigger part of the human diet in recent decades as high-fructose corn syrup has found its way into many processed foods. These results suggest that reducing fructose in the diet may help slow cancer growth.

Processed Food Contains Many Potentially Dangerous Ingredients
Processed Food Contains Many Potentially Dangerous Ingredients
Fast food hamburgers are not the only type of heavily processed food that is questionable in terms of whether or not it should be considered real food.
Many processed foods also contain dangerous MSG, to give the otherwise bland mixture some flavor. For more in-depth information about MSG, I highly recommend reading Dr. Russell's Blaylock's book, Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills.

Fast food hamburgers are not the only type of heavily processed food that is questionable in terms of whether or not it should be considered real food.
- Chicken McNuggets, for example, recently made it into mainstream news because of the potentially hazardous additives they contain.
- Soda can contain any number of health harming substances, from high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) to benzene and aspartame.
- French Fries are loaded with the worst types of fat on the planet -- typically highly refined and genetically modified omega 6 oils, such as corn, canola, and soybean oils.
- Breakfast cereals are little more than disguised forms of high fructose corn syrup and many are loaded with genetically modified (GM) grains.

Diabetes is much like accelerated aging
Mitochondria are central components of our cells that generate the majority of our energy from nutrients (ATP). But their dark side is that they can generate unstable chemicals that harm both the mitochondrion itself and other components of the cell. This resulting damage is thought to play an important role in aging. If mitochondria play such crucial roles in aging, then these discoveries could very possibly lead to the first bona fide anti-aging therapies. One of the more intriguing therapies is Cellular Activation Therapy which actually improves the function of all mitochondria and allow them to produce ATP from carbohydrates (which is something that diabetic people do not do well.) By reestablishing proper mitochondrial function it may be that the study of diabetes leads us also to an attractive tool for reducing the aging process in the intracellular level. In other words, Cellular Activation Therapy may be the first way that we extend life without the use of chemicals or drugs, because CAT only uses human recombinant DNA insulin to stimulate the liver.
Fast Food Causes Insulin Resistance
It's quite clear that fast food leads to obesity and insulin resistance – and just as Spurlock proved in his film, it doesn't take long. Granted, his experiment included eating three meals a day at McDonalds, but as demonstrated in one <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2005/01/22/fast-food-part-three.aspx">15-year long study</a>, eating fast food just <strong>twice a week</strong> can make you gain 10 pounds and double your risk of developing insulin resistance, compared to eating it less than once a week.
Junk food diets have also been recently <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/08/24/junk-food-diet-puts-children-at-higher-risk-of-allergies.aspx">linked to increased risk of allergies</a>.
The bottom line is that if you want to stay healthy, and keep your children healthy, you have to avoid fast food and other processed foods, and either you, another relative or friend, or someone you pay, has to spend some time in your kitchen, cooking from scratch.
Cooking for your children may actually have extremely far reaching benefits, because it is now well known that dietary changes can prompt epigenetic DNA changes that can be passed on to future generations. For instance, pregnant rats fed a fatty diet had daughters and granddaughters with a <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/05/11/rats-on-junk-food-pass-cancer-down-the-generations.aspx">greater risk of breast cancer</a>.

Milk may ward off type 2 diabetes
Can a Fat Protect You From Type 2 Diabetes?
For those trying to eat a healthy diet, whole-fat dairy and trans fats are usually not on the menu - at least, not yet. Scientists have narrowed in on a trans fat component found mainly in dairy fat that may ward off type 2 diabetes and protect cardiovascular health. While the research is far from conclusive and requires much further study, it suggests fats may play a more complex role in human health than previously thought.
This is no surprise to us. We at Diabetes.net have long known that the focus on blood glucose is not worthy of further examination. It is the entire metabolic balance of foods that is important to regulate.
Researchers found that adults with high levels of a fatty acid (one of the main parts of fat molecules) called trans-palmitoleic acid in their blood had a three-fold lower risk for diabetes, according to a study published Monday in the<em>Annals of Internal Medicine</em>. This naturally produced trans fat component is found mainly in dairy, as well as some meats. These subjects also had lower body fat, higher good coholestrol levels, and lower triglyceride levels, which are all associated with better cardiovascular well-being.
"It's exciting because traditionally fats were just seen as artery cloggers, but they seem to be both harmful and protective," said lead author and Harvard epidemiologist Dariush Mozaffarian. "The fatty acid world is becoming more interesting and complex."
Little is known about trans-palmitoleic acid. In a 1970 study, nutritionists found it comprised only 0.2 percent of all dairy fats. Mammals actually don't produce it naturally. Bacteria found in cattle make the fatty acid during digestion, and it eventually finds its way to their milk.
Mozaffarian and his colleagues grew interested in the fatty acid after examining a small body of evidence linking dairy consumption with lower diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk factors. "Because trans-palmitoleic acid is fairly unique to dairy, we knew if we found it in subjects there's a good chance it came from eating some dairy product," he said.
Analyzing blood samples and lifestyles of more than 3,700 adults 65 years or older, Mozzaffarian found that even when adjusting for various demographic and lifestyle differences, subjects with high levels of trans-palmitoleic acid or reported eating whole-fat dairy appeared to be in better shape than those who didn't. 739 people in the study had trans-palmitoleic acid at the highest protective level. The acid was found in each person studied.
"This one of the strongest confirmations that there's something in dairy fat that lowers risk of diabetes," Mozzaffarian said.
That doesn't mean you should put down the skim milk and reach for the half and half, however. Excess calories can lead to weight gain which, going unchecked, is a contributing factor in diabetes, heart disease and a number of other health problems. This is only one study that does not show trans-palmitoleic acid or whole-fat dairy directly caused these differences. However, it's widely accepted that diets high in the saturated fats found in dairy products often lead to diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
"We certainly know that eating a lot of saturated fat is associated with some bad consequences," said American Diabetes Association Senior Vice President of Medical Affairs and Community Information Dr. Sue Kirkman. "This study is interesting, but people shouldn't conclude they should eat or drink high fat dairy products. It does, however, generate a great hypothesis for future study."
Mozaffarian agrees. He hopes others will look further at trans-palmitoleic acid and it's effects in the body. If trans-palmitoleic acid is found to guard against diabetes or cardiovascular disease, he envisions that maybe manufacturers can increase its concentration in dairy products or use it as a supplement.
"It's exciting because it might be able to reduce the epidemic of diabetes across the whole world," Mozaffarian said. "But this is really new science, so we don't want to oversell this. It could be a flash in a pan that turns out to not be correct."

American Diabetes Therapy Centers History
American Diabetes Therapy Centers was formed on February 11, 2010 as a division of Deepal Cemo Medical Solutions, LLC. Deepal Wannakuwatte has been providing medical supplies to Native American health facilities and became aware of the extreme need to help diabetic Native Americans who experience a rate of diabetes of over 2.5 times the national average. American Diabetes Therapy Centers has an exclusive sub-license of Cellular Activation Therapy to focus on providing the treatment to Native Americans in North America. American Diabetes Therapy Centers plans to rapidly expand the number of therapy centers nationwide in areas accessible to Native Americans. Non-Native American can also receive treatment at our centers. Because only licensed providers practice medicine, American Diabetes Therapy Centers is a clinical provider to licensed professionals who provide the treatment portion of the services. http://budurl.com/xdwd
