New Link Between Obesity and Insulin Resistance Uncovered Posted: Saturday, April 11, 2009

The high BCAA protein levels found in obese individuals, combined with high fat diets, could significantly increase the incidence of pre-diabetic insulin resistance. Because obesity and diabetes are so closely linked, this finding could go a long way in explaining the cause and effect of the obesity-diabetes connection, as well as lay the foundations for future preventative treatments for diabetes in obese individuals.

Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Responsible for Obesity Epidemic? Posted: Thursday, April 02, 2009

While diets often focus of solid caloric intake, a recent study has shown that decreasing intake of liquid calories may in fact be more effective in creating weight loss. Specifically, a reduction in sugar-sweetened beverage consumption could help prevent obesity and associated conditions, such as type 2 diabetes.

African-Americans Less Prone to Fatty Liver Disease Posted: Saturday, March 28, 2009

Despite being at higher risk for obesity, diabetes and heart disease, African-Americans are in fact at lower risk for fatty liver disease. In a recent study, which compared Hispanics (whom are also at higher risk for obesity, diabetes and heart disease) and African-Americans, it was observed that due to differing locations of fat storage in the body, African-Americans have a significantly lower incidence of fatty liver disease.

Fructose Triggers Increased Appetite Posted: Thursday, March 26, 2009

New research, which includes a meta-analysis of past research, stresses a link between fructose consumption and increased appetite. The resulting higher food intake that comes from consuming fructose, along with the recent rise in fructose-loaded products, gives reason to believe that fructose is at least partially responsible for rising obesity and type 2 diabetes rates, especially in youth. This is opposed to glucose, which in past research has been linked to decreased appetite.

New Study Shows How Fructose Promotes Diabetes Posted: Tuesday, March 17, 2009

A new study may help explain why diets high in the sugar fructose have been linked to insulin resistance, a precursor to Type 2 diabetes.

Breath Test Possible Diagnostic Screening Tool for Diabetes Posted: Tuesday, March 17, 2009

Abnormal glucose tolerance can be detected by a carbon-13 labeled oral glucose tolerance test in which 13-CO2 excreted in the breath is measured with a standard breath analyzer, according to research conducted at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.

Working the Night Shift Can Increase Risk of Diabetes Posted: Tuesday, March 17, 2009

An upset in the body's internal clock may cause blood sugar spikes and insulin resistance.

Stress Raises Diabetes Risk for Obese Black Women Posted: Tuesday, March 17, 2009

Surge in anxiety-linked hormone worsens blood sugar level, researchers suggest and stress may play a key role in the development of Type 2 diabetes in obese black women, U.S. researchers say.

Abdominal Fat Linked to Low Vitamin D Intake Posted: Saturday, March 14, 2009

Teens who consume more vitamin D tend to have lower abdominal fat, and a subsequently diminished risk in the development of future heart disease and diabetes. This recently published research suggests that teens need to be educated to the benefits of vitamin D, and increase their natural and supplemental exposure to it.

Midwestern and Southern States Receive Least Federal Funding for Disease Prevention Posted: Tuesday, March 10, 2009

New report finds public health programs at risk during economic downturn. Trust for America’s Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) released a new report that found Midwestern and Southern states received less funding from the federal government than Northeastern and Western states did in fiscal year (FY) 2008 for disease prevention programs, which can amount to millions of dollars in differences.
