  1. Knowing what the recent findings of iron levels TO .. metabolic
    syndrome / diabetes .. state .. "clearly linked" .. then the finding
    BELOW .. of .. "Surprisingly, the prevalence " .. is NO .. surprise ..

    Eh ..

    Higher iron levels IN .. those .. WITH .. higher prevalence of ..
    diabetes ....

    Conclusion of the study .. IS .. meat / heme iron LEADS TO INCREASED
    IRON LEVELS .. and .. 'coincidentally' .. INCREASED PREVALENCE OF ..
    diabetes ..

    Surprisingly, the prevalence of diabetes in Unmmannaq was higher than
    that in the towns of Nuuk and Qasigiannguit

    The prevalence of iron load (ferritin

    200 microg/L) was lowest in Nuuk (men: 13.8%, women: 2.3%)


    intermediate in Ilulissat (men, 11.1%; women, 9.1%) and highest in
    Uummannaq (men, 32.1%; women, 21.1%).

    CONCLUSION: The observed differences in estimated body iron stores in
    Greenlanders from the three residential areas can be explained by
    differences in the dietary intake of **haem iron** / meat.

    PRIMARY PREVENTION OF DIABETES: What Can Be Done and How Much Can Be
    Prevented?

    Schulze MB, Hu FB.

    Departments of Nutrition1 and Epidemiology,2 Harvard School of Public
    Health, Boston, Massachusetts 02115; email: [email hidden] ,
    [email hidden] , 3Channing Laboratory, Department of
    Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston,
    Massachusetts 02115.

    Although it is widely believed that type 2 diabetes mellitus is the result
    of a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors, compelling
    evidence from epidemiologic studies indicates that the current worldwide
    diabetes epidemic is largely due to changes in diet and lifestyle.
    Prospective cohort studies and randomized clinical trials have demonstrated
    that type 2 diabetes can be prevented largely through moderate diet and
    lifestyle modifications. Excess adiposity is the most important risk factor
    for diabetes, and thus, maintaining a healthy body weight and avoiding
    weight gain during adulthood is the cornerstone of diabetes prevention.
    Increasing physical activity and reducing sedentary behaviors such as
    prolonged TV watching are important both for maintaining body weight and
    improving insulin sensitivity. There is increasing evidence that the quality
    of fat and carbohydrate plays a more important role than does the quantity,
    and thus, public health strategies should emphasize replacing saturated and
    trans fats with unsaturated fats and replacing refined grain products with
    whole grains. Recent studies have also suggested a potential role for
    coffee, dairy, nuts, magnesium, and calcium in preventing diabetes. Overall,
    a healthy diet, together with regular physical activity, maintenance of a
    healthy weight, moderate alcohol consumption, and avoidance of sedentary
    behaviors and smoking, could nearly eliminate type 2 diabetes. However,
    there is still a wide gap between what we know and what we practice in the
    field of public health; how to narrow that gap remains a major public health
    challenge.

  7. Kindly refrain from postinf OFF topic .. which is MEAT = elevated iron
    ... levels ..

    Do you .. u-n-d-e-r-s-t-a-n-d ..HOW .. research is .. conducted .. ?

    You don't all of a sudden begin to study something .. ELSE .. when ..
    you are concentrating ON .. one .. marker ..

    Or .. are you braindead ..?

    The thread in case you actually WISH to understand ... is .. increased
    meat consumption .. parallels the rise in iron levels .. which has the
    researchers hypothesising the rise in iron levels is DUE TO the
    INCREASED .. consumption .. OF .. meat .. / heme iron.

    So since we NOW know .. researchers are hypothesising the link between
    iron levels and DIABETES is .. VERY STRONG .. and as the articles ..
    CLEARLY .. show .. the PREVALENCE of diabetes .. IN .. the Uummannaq
    .... is CLEARLY .. also .. higher ..

    The findings OF .. a 'surprise' .. in light of the NEWEST ..
    information .. CLEARLY .. shows .. iron levels PREDICTED the diabetes
    in the Uummannaq .. even though .. the researchers .. didn't ..

    Heh .. heh ..

    That would mean .. iron .. PREDICTED .. the diabetes ..

    Now .. seeing the post you just made .. one might think you are
    attempting AGAIN .. to detract .. FROM .. a cause of diabetes ..

    Eyesight losing , digit losing .. life losing .. diabetes ..

    Eh ..

    No, that isn't what it says. It says "Recent studies...suggested a
    POTENTIAL ROLE for coffee, dairy, nuts, magnesium, and calcium in
    preventing DIABETES." It does not say "milk is good for you," nor that
    foods providing potential risk reduction for one disease might not
    *increase* the risk of another. For example, from "Milk and Other
    Dietary Influences on Coronary Heart Disease" by William B. Grant,
    Ph.D.:

    "...ecological statistical results...present strong evidence for
    dietary non-fat milk playing an important role in the etiology of heart
    disease.30,32-34 A number of animal studies have also shown milk to be
    atherosclerotic.11,12 The author is not aware of any studies showing
    that non-fat milk or milk carbohydrates are not strongly associated
    with heart disease, most likely because milk is generally not
    considered a risk factor for heart disease, and, therefore, is not
    studied in conjunction with heart disease. A number of putative
    mechanisms have been identified that could make the link between
    non-fat milk consumption and heart disease, with unopposed Hcy
    (homocystein)production being most prominent among them. The fact that
    heart disease mortality rates remain high despite years of claiming
    that cholesterol is the primary risk factor for heart disease resulting
    in subsequent dietary reductions of fat and cholesterol in the general
    population, supports the idea that heart disease is not adequately
    understood by the medical system."

    11. Kritchevsky D. Diet and atherosclerosis. Am J Pathol
    1976;84:615-632.

    12. Kritchevsky D. Dietary protein, cholesterol and atherosclerosis: A
    review of the early history. J Nutr 1995;125:589S-593S.

    30. Armstrong BK, Mann JI, Adelstein AM, Eskin F. Commodity consumption
    and ischemic heart disease mortality, with special reference to dietary
    practices. J Chron Dis 1975;28:455-469.

    32. Seely S. Diet and coronary disease: A survey of mortality rates and
    food consumption statistics of 24 countries. Med Hypoth 1981;7:907-918.

    34. Seely S. Diet and coronary arterial disease: a statistical study.
    Int J Cardiol 1988;20:183-192.

    So the question becomes, "What does it *means* for something to be
    'good for me?'"

  9. There is a demonstrated link with risk of diabetes and red meat, but
    not other animal sources of protein. Total iron is not related
    either, which leads one to consider that something in red meats is
    related to a higher risk. The higher saturated fat levels is one such
    possibility as other research shows a similar link with it and risk of
    diabetes. Consider:

    "Dietary iron intake and blood donations in relation to risk of type 2
    diabetes"

    http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/79/1/70

    Conclusions: Heme-iron intake from red meat sources is positively
    associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes. Total iron intake,
    heme-iron intake from non-red meat sources, and blood donations are
    not related to the risk of type 2 diabetes.

    Do you .. u-n-d-e-r-s-t-a-n-d ..HOW .. research is .. conducted .. ?

    Yes. All research is preliminary until more research confirm initial
    findings. Don't you understand that?
    Medicine is applied science. It deals with what is and what what could be or
    should be. It deals with solid evidence and not inferences.
    The article I posted shows the state of diabetes interventions and it does
    not mention iron. Understand.
    I guess not not.

    You don't all of a sudden begin to study something .. ELSE .. when ..
    you are concentrating ON .. one .. marker ..

    It is not a marker. It is nothing. Nothing has been proven yet. Those are
    all hypothesis. You already take it as proof.

    Or .. are you braindead ..?

    meat consumption .. parallels the rise in iron levels .. which has the
    researchers hypothesising the rise in iron levels is DUE TO the

    AND? You can have all the hypothesis in the world and they are still not a
    hypothesis is an UNPROVEN thought.
    They are a dime a dozen.
    Children don't even like meat. They don't and have not all of a sudden eaten
    more meat causing the epidemic of type two diabetes.
    Let me repeat children now are getting at a younger age type 2 diabetes and
    it is not related to iron. Iron deficiency anemia is very common in
    children. The IQ or how smart they are is affected by iron levels so that is
    important to get them to eat meat.
    They don't like meat and thus have low iron levels. Not a good thing.

    The point is that you "interpreted" an ambiguous study comment at all.
    There is nothing to interpret. A legitimate paraphrase of the comment
    would perhaps be that "milk appears to have potential health benefits,
    at least with respect to diabetes." It's factually wrong to say the
    study "mentions" that "milk" is "good for you." It's worse than a
    generalization. For one, diary is not just milk. Probiotic dairy is
    world's apart from uncultured dairy, and european's (if you want to
    talk about *their* diets) are far more inclined to it. Nor was this
    the focus of the study, so your conjecture is baseless.

    Nutrition and brain development: social policy implications.

    Tanner EM, Finn-Stevenson M.

    Department of Social Policy and Social Work and Nuffield College, University
    of Oxford, Oxford, England.

    Undernutrition among young children is widespread in the United States and
    has a detrimental impact on brain development. This article explores the
    risks associated with undernutrition and the potential for recovery when
    diet and the environment improve. Three policy implications are discussed:
    (a) increasing access to federal food programs, (b) promoting breastfeeding,
    and (c) working toward reducing child poverty.

    world's apart from uncultured dairy, and european's (if you want to
    talk about *their* diets) are far more inclined to it. Nor was this
    the focus of the study, so your conjecture is baseless.


    So the article I cited mentioned probiotic dairy and uncultured dairy and
    not just dairy that included milk?
    Thanks for bringing that up and maybe you should write the author of that
    article and tell him not to mention "dairy" but all the various components
    and don't forget to mention that you don't agree with his statements and he
    should rewrite them.
    I guess nobody reads the research articles for accuracy before publication.
    You might want to volunteer your skills.
    How many articles have you published by the way?
    Yes probiotic dairy is worlds apart and look at this article about it.
    "Probiotic dairy products lack scientific support
    The study added that this is essential given recent publications suggesting
    that commercial probiotic products do not comply with label claims, though
    agrees that this is not the case for the whole industry and notes that
    placebo-controlled, randomised studies have been carried out with
    "well-defined and well-described products.
    Useful information would include third party verification of stated levels
    and types of viable probiotics until the end of the product shelf life,"
    added the scientists.

    Accurate labelling of the content of a probiotic product is, obviously,
    essential, but many studies have found the actual delivery of probiotic
    bacteria does not match the content claim information on their labels."
    One piece of research cited to back up this claim was that by Huff and
    published in the Canadian Family Physician (50:583-587), which stated that
    none of ten Lactobacillus products purchased in lower British Columbia,
    Canada, met label claims when looked at using streak plating from growth on
    blood agar."

    Dairy is a big subject. It's not just milk


    Is beef dairy? I would imagine that milk and its derivatives like cheese is
    a big part of dairy but then I am not a farmer.
    Thanks for the big distinction.

    If you want to swing from your rope proclaiming that milk is "good for
    you," knock yourself out. But don't pretend that a tangential comment
    in a study whose focus was diabetes supports your viewpoint. Rather,
    find a study that does support what you think or say.
