About diabetes' medicine and cancer of the pancreas's truth

There is much evidence to consider the struggle to maximize the combat diabetes, human physiology. Live the lifestyle of an anti-diabetes, you will reduce your risk, not just for diabetes, but for most chronic diseases such as heart disease, osteoporosis, stroke, Alzheimer's disease and cancer.

However, the mainstream medical community to understand the concern of the diabetes and hyperglycemia associated with diabetes, aimed at combating drug has established a large arsenal. But at what price? Diabetes drugs can cause more than diabetes itself is a problem? What is the truth about diabetes drugs and pancreatic cancer?

Cancer, pancreatic cancer is an obvious, we do not deal with. 5-year survival rate is almost unheard of. This makes pancreatic cancer, the most important preventive. Has been established to avoid pancreatic cancer in the medical literature, including:

1) one of the strongest factors in the risk of pancreatic cancer is a history of acute pancreatitis.
2) The list is conducive to the diabetic lifestyle.
Low interest rates of pancreatic cancer, high intake of fruits and vegetables, has been demonstrated.
3) the large intake of omega 3 fatty acids and Omega 6 fatty acids reduce the intake has been shown to reduce risk.
4) the optimal level of vitamin D may play a role in the prevention of pancreatic cancer.

Obviously, the contact of diabetes and pancreatic cancer. What is a diabetes drug? Diabetes drugs, so our blood sugar numbers look better, they can also reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer by the agent?

Everything in our body has a place and a range, it is designed to function best. Hormone of course, fall into this category. Insulin, for example, in the amazing things our bodies, but the increase in insulin levels, from pre-diabetes or prescription given insulin type 1 diabetes, this elevation led to the rupture of the health of epic proportions.

Another very important hormone is glucagon-like peptide-1, GLP-1. This hormone is released to some of the signals in the food we eat, but mostly from the "sweet". The small intestine known as the "L" cells, the tongue's taste cells. Therefore, when the "sweet" through the small intestine cells, and these taste cells release GLP-1 do all kinds of good things to help our body deal with sugar.

Our bodies are breaking down of GLP-1 soon. This is obviously not designed the human body is active over a longer period of time. In the steps pharmaceutical companies.

The initial drug development, synthesis of GLP-1 (approximately 2 minutes to break the human GLP-1 can not be used), but it has proven difficult. Future direction is to slow down the enzyme, to break its own GLP-1, so it will last more than two minutes. This involves the slow enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV (4 principles).

Stand in this current study, the normal action of the drug design intervention and GLP-1 is being used in medicine is very serious, not just for diabetics, but also for weight loss.

As always, we begin at any time of chaos and the body's normal action will need a price to pay. At present, more and more attention in the normal action of the drug intervention and GLP-1 pathway. The growth of thyroid cancer in mice, and the establishment, but a recent study in the May issue of Journal of diabetes caused serious concern.

The researchers found that GLP-1 lead to abnormal growth of hyperstimulation and pancreatic cells in the rat chronic irritation. Obviously, this can pave the way for the individual development of pancreatic cancer susceptibility way. , Who is susceptible individuals? We have built a greatly increased risk of diabetes.

So all this mean?

This means that lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of diabetes or manage your diabetic patients is the only answer the question. These measures include, in order to avoid such as:

** Refined carbohydrates (rich in selenium include wheat flour, read the label, it's just made of white flour, brown)
* High fructose corn syrup
** Any and all artificial sweeteners - SPLENDA, sucralose, aspartame, aspartame, Ansay honey
** A kind of bottled water called bisphenol A leech into the water chemistry, most studies suggest, it is no different than water from the tap
* Any and all artificial food coloring, FD & C something
Fish raised on farms ** - fish feed corn, which is the Omega 6 fatty acids, are also high pesticide
* Beer / Spirits
** Corn-fed beef - the food of antibiotics, which contribute to antibiotic resistant bacteria, that is up. Microsoft Research Asia, high in Omega 6 fatty acids create inflammation
** Fake peanut butter that you do not have mixed (JIF, DanceDance the on)
** "Healthy" or "lean" frozen main course (lean cuisine, healthy choice, smart start, etc.)
* Dairy studies have shown that it does more harm than good; concentrated in the milk of pesticides and antibiotics
** Energy drinks (Red Bull, Monster, 5 hours of energy shooting, etc.)

There are more things:

* Olive oil (the cheap stuff, cooking, expensive dips and dressings)
** Quick, convenient meal - Kashi or Amy's frozen entrees (in the bud a reasonable price, Costco, Wal-Mart)
** Real peanut butter (of course, more brands)
Organic grass fed meat (beef, chicken, venison, elk, etc. ... more Omega 3 fatty acids, bison) (Do not be afraid to ask the butcher)
** Varieties of fruits and vegetables 8-10 servings / day
** Wild-caught fish (omega-3 fatty acid level is high, which is anti-inflammatory)
* Nuts (make sure there are no additives such as cottonseed oil or peanut oil)
High antioxidant compounds in dark chocolate ** called polyphenols, prevent aging, injury, damage our cells
* Unsweetened tea, green tea is better than black high polyphenol
