New research published in the American Journal of cardiology claims that fast food restaurants should give out statins to counter the effects of fatty foods. Fast food and statins are the new proposed combination plate.

Statin dangers

The statin pill can be as risky as the cheeseburger. Statins deplete your body of nutrients that you need to help the heart function. Statins have serious side effects. It can damage the liver, pancreas and muscles.

However, the reason some doctors give for not endorsing this idea, is that it would encourage people to lead unhealthy lives. This would mean that they would be at a higher risk for developing Type 2 diabetes.

This is the case of dumb and dumber. The logic from each side can only be understood from a medical perspective. The issue here; treat everything with a pharmaceutical. In other words mask the problem.

When the cholesterol numbers are lower and the diet is the same junk, you wind up without any benefit from the pills. The drugs don’t cut the rate of adverse events; it just makes the numbers look better. The second part of the problem isn’t the fat, but the carbs in the form or processed flour, and sugar. Diabetes risk is manly a processed food problem, not a fat one.

Junk Food Junky

People are hooked on the taste of fast food. Giving them drugs with the meal isn’t going to solve anything. It would compound the problem, there would be two dangers, instead of one. Only the medical community with a drug company’s education could come up with anything this ridiculous.

Cancer the Business has access to a huge market full of opportunities If you ever wanted untold wealth enter into the world of cancer treatment. It costs the world economy nearly $3 trillion dollars every year. This costs study was carried out by The American Cancer Society and Livestronger®.

The report written by American Cancer Society researches Rijo M. John, PhD, director of international tobacco control research, and Hans Ross, PhD, strategic director of international tobacco control research, reveals that cancer has the largest economic impact.

Lets see how long has the war on cancer has been going on. Evidently not long enough. Cutting to the chase this is one heck of a profitable condition. With the stakes so high a cure isn’t around the corner. The state of the industry depends on this revenue stream.

Consumer confidence should be at an all time low. However, when this is the only game in town it is a sustainable business model. This comes from is having fostered a fear based culture around the condition. The entrepreneurial spirit lives and thrives in the creation of pharmaceutical products to treat this. The approach is the same old, same old one. It is fueled by the creation of one drug after another.

Product Development

New product development comes from the pharmaceutical companies that are looking to foster long term growth for the industry. People suffer, but are not top priority. For if they were the one thing they wouldn’t want are repeat sales.

But, feeling good is not the name of the game. Boosting the immune system wasn’t even a topic of discussion until recently. What treatment does at this time is escalate the cost and suffering. This is a doom and gloom outlook, considering that Cancer isn’t an external factor, but an inside job.

Cancer means some tough decisions, and you can’t go ahead and make them without all the facts. The whole purpose of Your Health Updates is to inform. We know who has some valuable information that needs to be seen and heard.

We need a shift in how we think about his condition, and the people on the front lines are the ones that teach about health and wellness. From Mike Adam, Doug Kaufmann, David Wolfe, and others who only talk about nutrition. The medical doctors, researches, and centers on the forefront of successfully helping people heal make up a whole other list.

Believe it or not, many people have turned this condition around themselves. They realized that lifestyle is the most important factor.

Diabetics low-carb it for results; the proof is in the way it lowers insulin resistance and enables weight loss. A low-carb diet restricts the amount of refined carbohydrates, which alone is worth the effort. The best part it leaves you satisfied. Hunger isn’t your constant companion.

Diabetic Study

Obese women with insulin resistance lose more weight after three months on a lower-carbohydrate diet than on a traditional low-fat diet with the same number of calories, according to a new study. The results were presented at The Endocrine Society’s 92nd Annual Meeting in San Diego.

“The typical diet that physicians recommend for weight loss is a low-fat diet,” said the study’s lead author, Raymond Plodkowski, MD, chief of endocrinology, nutrition, and metabolism at the University of Nevada School of Medicine, Reno. “However, as this study shows, not all people have the same response to diets.”

People with insulin resistance, a common precursor for Type 2 diabetes, metabolize carbohydrates, or “carbs,” abnormally, which may affect their rate of weight loss. For them, Plodkowski said, “the lower-carb diet is more effective, at least in the short term.”

Super Booster

This way of eating shouldn’t be thought of as a super booster for accelerated weight loss. For diabetics this would help stabilize and reverse the effects of the condition.

The composition of the low-fat diet was 60 percent calories from carbs, 20 percent from fat and 20 percent from protein. The lower-carb diet also had 20 percent of calories from protein, it had 45 percent from carbs and 35 percent from primarily unsaturated fats, such as nuts. Menus included a minimum of 2 fruits and 3 vegetable servings a day.

The way they did the study was to use a high percent of carbs in the diet. The low-fat diet with 60 percent of the diet in carbohydrates is a study in disaster. Elimination of all refined carbohydrates is really the name of the game. Whole food healthy eating works. A diet high in vegetables and fruit will provide the fiber and some carbohydrates. It is not a matter of low carbohydrates only, it is where are your getting them from.

It is strange how cake, cookies, pie, white bread, white rice, and sugar are called carbohydrates. That would imply that they are food of some sort. This is where the problem  is. A low fat diet consists of low fat dairy high in sugar, and low fat cookies full of sweetners. The truth is it is easier to overeat when presented with these items. They make you hungry and play games with your endocrine, cardiovascular, brain function, and energy level.

Achieving Health

Achieving health the low-carb way is to unleash your internal defenses with plant compounds found in vegetables and fruit, and Omega-3 fatty acids in whole foods such as grass-fed meat.
