 Dear Reader,
I'm always on the lookout for news about diabetes prevention and management — too many people in my life are dealing with the disease.
So when I came across two new studies touting the benefits of two possible preventers, I simply had to share it with all of you...
One involves a supposed vice, and one involves getting more of an essential nutrient. The second one is pretty exciting, too — this is the first time researchers have demonstrated a link between this nutrient and type 2 diabetes.
Let's start with the vice first.
According to Dutch researchers, healthy adults who indulge in one or two glasses of alcohol per day could be cutting their diabetes risk.
Over the course of a 10-year study of 35,000 adults between the ages of 20 and 70, the researchers found that people who consumed alcohol moderately and led a reasonably healthy lifestyle had a 40 per cent lower chance of developing type 2 diabetes than people who abstained from alcohol.
Now, maybe you don't enjoy a nightly glass of wine (I must confess, I do). So this next finding might be more your speed. And we can thank the Dutch for this one, too.
The study results, published in the journal Diabetes Care, show that people who get plenty of vitamin K from food seem to be 20 per cent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes. This is the first study showing a relationship between vitamin K and diabetes risk.
Vitamin K comes in two natural forms. K1 is, for the most part, found in green leafy vegetables as well as some vegetable oils. K2 is found in meat, cheese, and eggs. Both were linked to a lower diabetes risk in the study, but the relationship was stronger with vitamin K2.
They're not sure what's at the heart of the relationship, but researchers suspect it has to do with evidence that vitamin K reduces inflammation, which may improve the body's use of insulin.
Study participants with the highest intakes of K consumed between 250 and 360 micrograms of total vitamin K each day. Of course, if you're going to add K2-rich meats and eggs to your diet, make sure you're eating free range and organic for the best possible health benefits.

85% of Cancers are Entirely Avoidable
*** The World Health Organisation (WHO) has revealed that 85 per cent of adult cancers are entirely avoidable and, of these, around half are related to nutritional deficiencies in the Western diet.
*** A Brigham Young University study found that a combination of 30 minutes of cardio exercise a day along with a switch to a healthier diet dropped the participants' health risks for:
diabetes
cancer
and heart disease dramatically in just 6 weeks!
..And that's just generally eating well...
In this groundbreaking 267-page book, you will discover how adding the power of individual and specific foods to your diet can have a dramatic effect on your life and your health.
Sugar cure okay for diabetics?
Q: I was recently searching the online archive to find information about getting rid of a bladder infection. I found an article that says D-mannose can eliminate the problem. I'm worried, though, because I see D-mannose is a sugar. I have type 2 diabetes — should I avoid D-mannose?
Dr. Jonathan V. Wright: Despite being classified as a simple sugar, D-mannose is very safe. Very little of it is actually metabolized by the body. Large doses are washed away in the urine (along with the E. coli bacteria that cause most bladder infections), and the amounts not excreted into the urine are so small that they do not affect blood sugar levels — even in diabetics.
Bear in mind we are not addressing anyone's personal situation and you should rely on this for informational purposes only. Please consult with your own doctor before acting on any recommendations contained herein.
Wishing you the best of health,
