“A meta-analysis of previous research found that small doses of allulose improved glucose and insulin regulation; however, additional randomized controlled trials are needed, especially in Western populations and in people without type 2 diabetes.”

“This study finds that consumption of sugary drinks (like soda) may be responsible for may have been responsible for 133,000 deaths from diabetes, 45,000 deaths from cardiovascular disease, and 6,450 deaths from cancer each year worldwide.”

“This is real-world observable. In fact, sleeping less than seven hours per night has been associated with either having diabetes or eventually developing the condition. The problem is multifactorial.”

“Having a higher cardiovascular health score is associated with reduced markers of disease, longer telomeres, and better vascular function and, consequently, lower risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and premature death.”

“Consumption of added sugars (90% is consumed in the form of a processed food or beverage) has been linked to acceleration of the aging process. It is also linked to a 26% increased risk of type 2 diabetes, and a 16% risk of a stroke.”

“FTA: > People who experience not just positive emotions but a diversity of positive emotions appear to have lower levels of systemic inflammation, which may reduce their risk for chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.”

“FTA: > Metformin, a commonly used drug for treating type 2 diabetes, is linked to an increased risk of low thyroid-stimulating hormone levels in patients with underactive thyroids, according to a study. Low levels of thyroid stimulating hormone can cause harm, such as cardiovascular conditions and fractures.”

“Interestingly, PCB189 exposure and increased visceral fat are associated with type 2 diabetes, potentially providing a mechanistic link between body fat and diabetes risk. Although exposure to persistent organic pollutants is likely unavoidable, some PCBs are excreted in sweat.”

“Here’s an interesting report that didn't make it into this issue of the Digest. Obesity and aging increase a person's risk of many diseases, including cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. This review presents the hypothesis that obesity accelerates the process of cardiac aging, exacerbating clinical outcomes of older adults with obesity.”
