The risk of developing Type II diabetes is lower by nearly 30% of those who eats low-fat yogurt and cheese in large quantities, the scientists from the UK. Researchers from Cambridge University (University of Cambridge) as the basis of his work took the data of more than 25 thousand men and women living in the county of Norfolk in the north of the UK. They compared the daily ration of 753 people, who at the time of entry into the 11-year study has already been established type II diabetes, dietary habits with 3.5 thousand people, randomly selected to participate. It turned out that those who have eaten large amounts of low-fat dairy products, including yogurt, low-fat cheese or cottage cheese, diabetes after 11 years, met at 24% less likely than those who did not eat such foods. And when used for more than four 125-gram jars natural nonfat yogurt a week the risk of diabetes type decreased by 28%. The authors note that their study can not be considered direct evidence that yogur...

Researchers found that new data that the development of type 1 diabetes is viral in nature. Employees of the University of Tampere have identified enteroviruses, the effect of which, according to their estimates, due to the death of cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Previously, different groups of scientists also suggested that enterovirus infection may be involved in the development of type 1 diabetes. Now scientists, led by Professor Heikki Hiyoti found that this can stand for Coxsackie viruses type B. This conclusion was reached as a result of a series of studies involving children with a genetic predisposition to diabetes. Professor Hiyoti said his group has developed and tested a prototype of the vaccine in mice against infection with a strain of coxsackievirus B1 and other related strains. Researchers estimate that vaccination can prevent the development of diabetes in children with high genetic predisposition.

U.S. researchers have found that a 7-hour night's sleep can prevent the development of diabetes in adolescents. What is diabetes Diabetes - a disease in which there is a persistent increase in the level of glucose in the blood. Distinguish type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. With type 1 diabetes is a destruction of the pancreatic cells, which produce insulin . Insulin is needed by the body to lower blood glucose. The remaining cells of the pancreas can not meet the body's need for insulin, so most of the glucose does not enter the cells, and stays in the blood. With type 2 diabetes, pancreatic cells do not suffer, and the body is enough insulin. However, the cells lose their sensitivity to insulin - is developing the so-called insulin resistance . If we imagine that insulin - is a key that opens the cell for glucose, insulin resistance is at a key does not fit the lock and can not open the cage. As a result, glucose does not enter the cells, and stays in the blood. T...

Sunday Sept 16, 2012 (foodconsumer.org) -- A new study in Cancer Causes and Control suggests that being type 2 diabetic potentially increases risk of death from breast cancer. Because having type 2 diabetes also means to have diabetes treatment, diabetes treatment can potentially be linked to higher risk for breast cancer death. M. T. Redaniel of University of Bristol in Bristol, UK and colleagues conducted the case-control study and found women with breast cancer who also suffered type 2 diabetes mellitus were 40 percent more likely to die from all causes, compared with those with breast cancer only. The association, which was derived already after adjustment for age, period, region, smoking status, body mass index, alcohol drinking and deprivation, was based on data from 52,657 women with type 2 diabetes diagnosed between 1987 and 2007 and 30,210 randomly selected women without type 2 diabetes. This association can be easily understood. Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients h...
