Pollutants increase type II diabetes risk
The risk of developing Type 2 diabetes may be heightened in people
exposed to high levels of certain pollutants through their diet,
suggest Swedish research findings.
<snip> The study of fishermen and their wives showed that high
levels of persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs) were present
in those with Type 2 diabetes.</snip>
Arsenic also is a very prevalent dietary pollutant that has been
previously named in several studies as a cause of diabetes (and
cancer) at very low chronc exposures. I’ve previously mentioned the
filter technology that removes all - 100% — of the arsenic from
drinking water. Code Blue.
This new study obviously highlights and extends this knowledge base
about pollutants; less obvious to many is that fact that drugs are
pollutants that can cause a group of "mitochondrial disorders",
diabetes included. The best example of this that I know of is
statin drugs, which cause so much mitochondrial impairment that
many patients experience wasting and some, sudden death due to
heart attack as a result of heart muscle wasting for example.
In one study, another mitochondrial disorder — cancer — breast
cancer in women taking statin drugs was up 1500% over the controls.
This might be of interest because cancer risk is higher in
diabetics anyway. Beware the toxins, eliminate the toxins.
