Permanent reversal of type 2 diabetes is possible in as little as 2 months. People who reverse their diabetes and then keep their weight down remain free of diabetes,” because “fat is removed from their pancreas, returning insulin production to normal”. In these examples, a weight loss of about 8 pounds was enough to trigger healing. "Type 2 diabetes can now be understood to be a metabolic syndrome potentially reversible by substantial weight loss, and this is an important paradigm shift." "If a person gains more weight than they personally can tolerate, then diabetes is triggered, but if they then lose that amount of weight then they go back to normal.” “Interestingly, even though all our volunteers remained obese or overweight, the fat did not drift back to clog up the pancreas.” “Even patients who have had Type 2 diabetes for up to 10 years can reverse their condition.” “The study also answered the question that people often ask me – if I lose the weight and keep the weight off, will I stay free of diabetes? The simple answer is yes!” As one grateful volunteer said: “My life has changed completely thanks to this research.”

You may only hear of the benefits of dark chocolate. But actually, the studies show no difference between the various forms. Yes, candy bars work. But, no one believes that extra fat and sugar provide any health benefits. Chocolate is the active ingredient. You must decide for yourself about what is overindulgence. Compliance with a daily dosing routine (about 1 ounce daily) adds to your results. Regular exercise increases positive effects. Nurse William recommends USDA Organic Chocolate for important additional health benefits. And "Fair Trade" adds moral value.

Inexpensive dark chocolate may help prevent heart disease. "Chocolate benefits from being by and large a pleasant, and hence sustainable, treatment option," "Evidence to date suggests that the chocolate would need to be dark and of at least 60% to 70% cocoa, or formulated to be enriched with polyphenols." Chocolate lowers blood pressure and improves lipid profiles. Other studies suggest increased benefits from daily consumption. Doctors worry that they may still be underestimating the benefits of chocolate.

Eating about one chocolate bar per week may reduce women's risk of stroke. Other studies have shown chocolate to lower blood pressure, boost vascular function, reduce oxidation of LDL cholesterol and reduce insulin resistance. Overall stroke risk dropped 14% with each 1.8 oz of chocolate a week. Hemorrhagic stroke risk dropped 27% per 50 g of weekly consumption. Many chocolate products are high in fat, sugar, and calories, and overindulging could counteract any of the potential benefits.

Ample evidence indicates that chocolate may have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. Chocolate consumption has been shown to reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure in short-term randomized feeding trials (1), and has been demonstrated to improve endothelial and platelet function and to ameliorate insulin resistance (2). Moreover, flavonoids in chocolate possess strong antioxidant activity and can suppress oxidation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (3).

This works. Eating chocolate 5 times a week was linked to about a 7 pound weight reduction. Chocolate has also been linked favorably with better blood pressure, insulin sensitivity and cholesterol levels, and may cut heart disease by 33%, and may increase brain power. "Our findings appear to add to a body of information suggesting that the composition of calories, not just the number of them, matters for determining their ultimate impact on weight." "The people who were eating chocolate were also exercising three times a week, and that's .. important." But overindulgence is not recommended. “It’s not the case that eating the largest amount of chocolate is beneficial; it’s that eating it more often was favorable.” So, "Limit your chocolate fix to a 1-ounce portion of dark chocolate, or add cocoa powder to food or coffee just once a day."
Regular Chocolate Consumption Linked To Leaner Bodies
People who eat chocolate regularly tend to be thinner than those who never or very rarely consume chocolate, researchers from the University of California, San Diego, reported in Archives of In

Cocoa may benefit the heart and increase IQ. Improvements in blood pressure and insulin resistance were found as well. "The effect on cognition appears to be mediated in part by improvement in insulin sensitivity." "The regular dietary inclusion of flavanols could be one element of a dietary approach to the maintaining and improving not only cardiovascular health but also specifically brain health."

"Those who reported drinking at least four cups per day of caffeinated coffee incurred about half the risk of dying from mouth and throat cancers compared to people who did not drink caffeinated coffee daily or only drank it occasionally." "We really don't clearly know the mechanism." "But we do know that coffee contains hundreds of biologically active compounds." "We are not recommending people all drink 4 cups of coffee a day. This is just a little bit of good news for those of us who enjoy coffee."

"The best part of waking up...is reducing your risk of neurodegeneration. And depression, and cancer, and cardiovascular disease." "Coffee lowered all-cause mortality by over 10%." "2 cups a day protects against heart failure." Coffee fights "hypertension, hyperglycemia, abnormal lipid levels, and body fat," and "significantly reduces risk for type 2 diabetes". "Coffee slows and reduces" "endometrial, prostate, head and neck, basal cell carcinoma and breast cancers" and liver disease. Coffee and hot tea help protect against MRSA. "Coffee may relieve dry-eye syndrome, reduce gout, and fight infection." Coffee can halt Alzheimers. "Coffee has long been thought to be neuroprotective in Parkinson disease". Coffee may "also benefit our mental health." Possible side effects include: "coffee can incite or worsen anxiety, insomnia, and tremor, elevate glaucoma risk", accelerate Huntington disease, and withdrawal can be a problem.

"Cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk." Artificially sweetened beverages raised the risk of depression even more than sugar sweetened beverages. Diet fruit juices also showed problems. 4 or more cups or cans of diet soda per day raised the risk of depression by 30%, and diet fruit punches by 38%. "Consistently, constituent-based analyses showed higher depression risk with aspartame intake and lower risk with caffeine intake." The reasons for this "are not well-understood" and "more research is needed to confirm these findings."

"Diet can lead to high blood pressure, which leads to a stroke.” The problem is fatty foods that are high in cholesterol, sugary drinks that are linked to diabetes, and salty foods that lead to high blood pressure, together raising the risk by 40%. “We’re hearing a lot more recently about the danger of sweetened beverages.” “It’s important to minimize those as well.” "It is a steady dose of the diet, six or more times a week, that creates the problem where one or two times a month doesn’t seem to raise the risk," "A plant-based diet could protect against strokes." "Just having a little more whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and lean protein sources - chicken without the skin, fish that isn't fried - gives you an across-the-board 20 percent reduction in stroke risk." “It’s not a ‘never eat these foods,’ it’s just to minimize them.” “We emphasize exercise, too. That’s as important as this diet. It’s a package.”

Those who consumed the most anthocyanin-rich foods (including blueberries, strawberries, eggplants, grapes, blackberries, black currants) had a 47% decrease in risk of heart attack. Previous studies have linked blueberry consumption to a reduced risk of high blood pressure. Even better, eating onions five times a week lowered the risk by 73 %. "For every 15-mg increase in intake of anthocyanins, the relative risk of (heart attack) decreased by 17% " "Flavonoids might be more likely than other dietary factors to lower the risk of [coronary heart disease]." This was a long term study, and at the beginning the advantages of chocolate were not understood. "Specifically, dark chocolate is one of the main sources of flavan-3-ols, but its overall consumption in the 1990s was quite low, and most FFQs of that era did not assess different chocolate types." This study supports healthy eating, but does not support the use of supplements.

"What we eat influences our mental and neurologic health." "Individuals with elevated levels of trans-fats had a 48% increased risk for depression." Heart disease and depression "may share some common nutritional determinants related to subtypes of fat intake." "The risk factors of diet can also apply across several neurological disorders beyond depression." "Avoid some types of fats, such as trans and saturated fatty acids." "Avoid fast and processed foods and commercial bakery; and try to increase your consumption of fruits, vegetables, and nuts." "This new finding of a very clear dose-response relationship between the level of trans-fatty acids and risk for depression over time has, I think, major implications for America." "The message is clear: 'try to eat healthy."

"You are what you eat." And also, what you eat from. Melamine, a common plastic, was detected in urine after eating soup from melamine bowls. "Although the clinical significance of levels of urinary melamine concentration has not yet been established, the consequences of long-term melamine exposure still should be of concern." "Melamine exposure remains common even after the 2008 melamine-tainted baby formula incident, which resulted in 6 deaths and approximately 50 000 hospitalizations. A continuous low-dose melamine exposure has been linked to urolithiasis (stones in the kidney, bladder, and/or urethra) in both children and adults."

"Our main finding was that a heart-healthy diet—rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and fish —significantly reduced the chance of a second heart attack or stroke or death." (By up to 35%). "This is a very big impact of diet as a protective factor." The "key finding (is) that effects are additive to medication." "Healthy eating likely conveys the same preventative benefits on sick people that it does on the well." "Potentially, we can turn off a high-risk gene by a dietary change." "Healthy eating is not about one single nutrient or food group, but instead, about the big picture of providing the body a balanced and diverse source of nutrients." “People can eat healthy or unhealthy three times a day, so if you modify your diet it can have a big impact.” “Even slightly modifying the diet has benefit.”
Good Diet May Prevent Further Heart Events

Fatty and sugary foods may cause chemical changes in the brain, making a person on a diet feel like they are having drug withdrawals. “It’s interesting that these (brain) changes occur before obesity." "The neurochemistry of the animals who had been fed a high fat, sugary diet (was) different from those who had been fed a healthy diet," “CREB is much more activated in the brains of higher-fat diet mice and these mice also have higher levels of corticosterone, a hormone that is associated with stress." "The chemicals changed by the diet are associated with depression." "A change of diet then causes withdrawal symptoms and a greater sensitivity to stressful situations, launching a vicious cycle of poor eating." Nurse William notes: Gradual changes ("Tapering") may work better than abrupt ("Cold Turkey").
Dieting Can Lead To Food Withdrawal And Depression

Eating two or more servings of fish each week was associated with a 6% to 12% reduction in stroke ("Brain Attack"). But, no stroke benefits were found for fish oil supplements. "It seems that the additional benefit of supplementation in patients who are optimally managed may be small." "These findings therefore suggest that single nutrients may have limited effects on chronic disease outside of their original food sources." "The beneficial effect of fish intake on cerebrovascular risk might be mediated through a complex interplay among a wide range of nutrients commonly found in fish." "It is reasonable to advise people that eating one or two portions of fish a week could reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke."
Eating Fish, but Not Supplements, Cuts Stroke

"Our trial took a very commonly used multivitamin that has basically low levels of all the different essential vitamins and minerals." "The main findings were a reduction in total cancers of 8%.'' "It looks like you need to take a multivitamin for several years if not a decade." Side effects included more rashes among vitamin users. “It would be a big mistake for people to go out and take a multivitamin instead of quitting smoking or doing other things that we have a higher suspicion play a bigger role, like eating a good diet and getting exercise.” Not smoking, a good diet and exercise may each reduce cancer rates by 20 to 30%.

Long-term yogurt eaters were found less likely to develop high blood pressure. "Higher yogurt intake, as part of a healthy diet pattern, may be beneficial for blood pressure control and hypertension prevention."

“It is easy to decrease your risk of stroke by eating tomatoes and tomato-based products.” “The results support the recommendation that people get more than five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.” "One possible reason that lycopene might decrease the risk of stroke more than other antioxidants ... may be the consequence of antioxidant activity." "Lycopene is a potent antioxidant and the most effective quencher of singlet oxygen, and it was reported to be more effective than beta-carotene in cell protection against hydrogen peroxide and nitrogen dioxide radicals."

"Our findings indicate that consuming cherries or cherry extract lowers the risk of gout attack," (by 35%). A dose related benefit curve was found when eating up to three servings (30 pieces or 1.5 cups) over the two days prior to an attack. "Further cherry intake did not provide any additional beneficial effect." "It has been suggested that antioxidant compounds found in cherries may be natural inhibitors of enzymes which are targeted by common anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen." "Anthocyanins are an antioxidant pigment found in cherries and other red and purple fruits and vegetables. They seem to stabilize the free radical molecules responsible for causing inflammation and cell and tissue damage."

A sesame and rice bran oil blend reduced blood pressure almost as well as nifedipine. "Olive oil and others high in unsaturated fats are also good, but sesame oil contains more antioxidants." "Healthier fatty acids and antioxidants, such as sesamin, sesamol, sesamolin and oryzanol (a "powerful" antioxidant), may be responsible for the results." "Rice bran oil, like sesame oil, is low in saturated fat and appears to improve a patient's cholesterol profile. Additionally, it may reduce heart disease risk in other ways, including being a substitute for less healthy oils and fats."

The risk of pancreatic cancer declined significantly as intake of antioxidants increased. "If the association is causal, one in 12 cancers might be prevented by avoiding the lowest intakes (of antioxidants)." Those who consumed the most vitamins C and E and selenium had a 67% reduction in risk. The benefits came from food sources, not supplements. "While null results from dietary antioxidant supplementation trials for other cancer endpoints have been discouraging, food sources of these nutrients may have different effects from high-dose single supplements."

800 IU of Vitamin D or more daily reduced the risk in older people of hip fracture by 30% and other fractures by 14%. "Notably, there was no reduction in the risk of hip fracture at any actual intake level lower than 792 IU per day." More than 1,000 mg per day of calcium may weaken the benefit. Excessive doses can be harmful. "In this regard, as in several other respects, nutrients are unlike drugs. Once an adequate concentration has been achieved, additional intake has no effect." "In the medical world, vitamin D seems like a very low priority." "But the data are impressive."

"Weight loss and healthy dietary change could each help to reduce or eliminate menopausal symptoms." "Not only will weight loss cut your risk of heart disease and stroke and lengthen your life, it may make you feel more comfortable as you go through the menopausal transition and beyond." "Women who lost weight in the context of this healthier diet - decreasing fat, increasing whole grains, fruits and vegetables - were significantly more likely to reduce or eliminate symptoms." "It seems like this would be a reasonable alternative for women who don't want to take hormone therapy as a way of reducing hot flashes and night sweats."
