Leafy Greens Foil Type 2 Diabetes
Leafy greens foil type 2 diabetes in studies.
Leafy Plants
Researchers from Leicester University in the UK analyzed pooled data from six studies examining links between fruit and vegetable consumption and type 2 diabetes found that the increased intake of green leafy vegetables lowered the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
They said it should be investigated further. They also cautioned that further research is needed before this can be used for giving specific advice to individuals.
Greens
To recommend a diet high in greens may be dangerous. Not so much to the patient, but to the green paper coming in from the prescription pad.
It amazes me that this needs further study, while drugs are being used on a regular basis. It is either researchers, and doctors are so well educated by the drug companies that they now have tunnel vision, or they have no understanding of how a body functions.
Diet and Nutrition
Diet and nutrition are the two missing ingredients when talking about chronic health problems in America. This fact is bankrupting the nation while causing undue suffering.
On the other hand it is the pharmaceutical companies and health care that brings in the big bucks. This may have a lot to do with the direction of health care or sick care depending how you look at it.
