EMA Decides No Risk Of Pancreatic Cancer With Diabetes Drugs
In a decision that is a big boost to several drugmakers, the European Medicines Agency has concluded that there is no evidence to confirm recent concerns that a widely used group of diabetes drugs called GLP-1 inhibitors is linked to pancreatic cancer. The review took place in response to a ruckus caused by a study published in Diabetes four months ago that found, in humans, the drugs caused “marked” cell proliferation and damage, and displayed a potential for eventually transforming into cancer. The researchers examined the pancreas of 20 deceased human organ donors with type 2 diabetes (here is the abstract). However...

Dangerous Meat and Dairy?
This study that caught so much attention in media doesn’t reflect in any way the health benefits of food choices like grass-fed beef and dairy products derived from organically raised cows. But leave it to those who write the headlines to draw simplified and biased conclusions with the intent to draw attention to their publications. It boggles the mind that a study such as this would dare to imply that the foods we have eaten for well over a million years are now scientifically determined to be unhealthful. If that were the case, how would we have made it this far? The important message revealed by the report was not art...

Wheat: the silent killer
I’ll hear this comment with some frequency: “Go wheat-free for 4 weeks. If you feel no better, you can go back to it.” While consumption of modern wheat can indeed yield health conditions with overt symptoms, such as joint pain, skin rashes, and pain and explosive diarrhea from irritable bowel syndrome,  many of its effects are silent and do not result in any perceived symptoms. The changes that underlie autoimmunity, for instance, that lead to multiple sclerosis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune hepatitis, autoimmune pancreatitis, pancreatic beta cell destruction leading t...

When patients cry, please don’t do this
Just three weeks earlier, she had noticed something strange about one of her breasts. An irregular shape. Her daughter brought her to the doctor, and soon the patient, I’ll call her Amanda, was diagnosed with breast cancer, stage “to be determined.” In fact, she was now in an oncologist’s office, learning what tests she would receive to determine the extent of her tumor. And sitting between her and the doctor was a tape recorder, capturing their conversation. A dozen minutes into the appointment, Amanda would break down crying. And the physician’s response, which I will lay out for you in a bit, is unfortunately ...

How important is Vitamin D?
FACT: A vitamin D deficiency may result in as much as a 50 percent increased potential for diabetes. FACT: A vitamin D deficiency puts you at a higher risk for cancer, especially breast, prostate, colon, ovarian, and melanoma. VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY is a widespread phenomenon with significant implications for health. In modern society vitamin D deficiency is the rule, rather than the exception. While we can blame more severe cases of deficiency on grains, it also commonly occurs independent of grain consumption. The restoration of vitamin D levels is second only to grain elimination when considering the most powerful healthy...
