Scientists may have found a sweet functional food that processes the potential for the prevention and treatment of cancer, some studies suggested.
Cancers are a group of chronic diseases, caused by cell growth disorderly and uncontrollably in some specific tissue and organs.
Most primary cancers start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of tissue caused by the alternation of DNA.
At the later stage, after penetrating deep into the tissue of the infected organs, most primary cancer can travel a distance away from the original site to damage other healthy tissue and organs.
As they grow large enough, they can also suppress the nearby tissue and nerve cells, causing severe pain and localized symptoms.
Researchers do not know the exact causes of colon cancer. Neither do they know why some people with the same health conditions, diet pattern and ethnicity, and family history, are susceptible to the early onset of the diseases, while many others do not.
The most common risk factors, epidemiologically are associated with the types of cancer. The National Cancer Institute suggested that aging, tobacco, long-term sun and radiation exposure, chemicals and other substances, some viruses and bacteria, certain hormones, family history of cancer, alcohol, poor diet, lack of physical activity, or being overweight are the common causes of cancer.
In the challenges, the idea that cancer cannot be prevented among older adults, researchers at the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion launched a study by examining different aspects of the relationship between age and cancer said, "Although the sequential patterns of aging cannot be changed, several age-related factors that contribute to disease risk can be".
What are the age-related factors that contribute to cancer be changed? researchers continued. "For most adults, age is coincidentally associated with preventable chronic conditions, avoidable exposures, and modifiable risk behaviors that are causally associated with cancer", and "current evidence suggests that for most adults, cancer does not have to be an inevitable consequence of growing older. Interventions that support healthy environments, help people manage chronic conditions, and promote healthy behaviors may help people make a healthier transition from midlife to older age and reduce the likelihood of developing cancer:
These results furtherly emphasized the need to prevent chronic diseases and support a healthy environment and promote a healthy lifestyle in the transition from midlife to older age are the most important factors that can reduce substantially the risk of cancer.
Honey, the rich golden liquid is a miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.
The liquid is considered one of the healthy sweet food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener by many people.
With an aim to find a natural ingredient without side effects for the treatment of colon cancer, researchers at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, launch an investigation to examine the anti-tumor and anti-inflammation properties of crude ginger extract and Gelam honey against many types of cancer, including colorectal cancer.
The cells used in the experiment were divided into 4 groups: the first group represents HT29 cells without treatment, the second and third groups were cells treated singly with either ginger or Gelam honey, respectively, and the last group represents cells treated with ginger and Gelam honey combined.
Combined ginger and Gelam honey treatment stimulated the early cell death response by enhancing the function of proteins associated with programming cell death, namely, the caspase 9 and IκB genes, and inhibiting the function of proteins associated with cell proliferation.
The IC50 of ginger and Gelam honey alone were 5.2 mg/ml and 80 mg/ml, respectively also demonstrated similar efficacy as the IC50 of the combination treatment of 3 mg/ml of ginger plus 27 mg/ml of Gelam honey.
These results suggest ginger and Gelam honey used alone or a combination may be an effective chemopreventive and therapeutic strategy for inducing the death of colon cancer cells.
Further differentiation of the antiproliferative effects of ginger and Gelam honey and their efficacy in enhancing the anti-cancer effects of 5-FU (5-fluorouracil) against a colorectal cancer cell line, HCT 116. researchers showed that
* Ginger (IC50 of 3mg/mL) is more potent than Gelam honey (IC50 of 75 mg/mL) in inhibiting the growth of HCT 116 cells.
* Combined treatment (35 mg/mL) of the two compounds (3mg/mL ginger+75 mg/mL Gelam honey) synergistically lowered the IC50 of Gelam, honey, to 22 mg/mL without reducing the inhibitory effect against the colon cancer cell line.
* Gelam honey markedly enhanced 5-FU inhibiting effects on the growth of HCT 116 cells.
Subsequent analysis on the induction of cellular apoptosis also suggested the individual treatment of ginger and Gelam honey produced higher apoptosis compared to 5-FU alone.
These results once again suggested that Gelam honey and ginger extract used alone or in combination could potentially enhance the chemotherapeutic effect of 5-FU against colorectal cancer.
Taken altogether, honey used alone or combined with ginger might process significant and profound effects in reducing the risk of colon cancer and combined with primary therapy for the treatment of colon cancer.
However, further data collection large example size and multi-center studies performed with human consumption of whole food or its bioactive compounds during the course of the disease will be necessary to complete the picture of honey anti-cancer possibilities.

#Antioxidant and #Phytochemical Lycopene Reduces the Risk of LiverToxicity, Studies Reveal
By Kyle J. Norton
Human toxicity is a general term that refers to any substance which causes harm to human health if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin.
Liver toxicity is a process that causes liver damage by reducing the function of the liver.
Liver oxidative stress caused by a toxic substance such as an overdose of the supplement has been found to constitute most cases of acute liver damage.
The liver is the largest internal organ that not only filters the blood from the digestive system before passing them to other parts of the body but also plays a critical role in the production of cholesterol, a waxy substance that aids digestion, builds cell membranes, and produces vitamin D and steroid hormones.
Liver stress is a condition in which the function of the liver is partly reduced. Hepatic stress can be observed by the levels of liver stress-makers, including transaminases aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT).
Abnormal high levels of transaminases aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) are early indications of liver damage or injury.
Epidemiologically, drugs that induce liver injury are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), anti-infective drugs (anti-tubercular drugs), anti-cancer drugs, hormonal drugs, immunosuppressive agents, and sedative and neuropsychiatric drugs.
Acetaminophen according to the study is the most form of medication that implicates drug-induced liver injury
However, antibiotics are the class of drugs that cause liver toxicity most commonly
Conventionally, treatment of liver toxicity is totally depending on the types of inducers, including
* Management of drug-induced liver injury by discontinuing the suspected drug.
* Acetaminophen poisoning is treated by the antidote N-acetylcysteine.
* Glucocorticoids are used for the treatment of immune-mediated drug-induced liver injury.
And,
* Intravenous N- acetylcysteine is used for the treatment of non-acetaminophen-related acute liver failure
Lycopene is a phytochemical in the class of carotenoids, a natural pigment with no vitamin A activity found abundantly in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables, such as red carrots, watermelons, and papayas,
Tomatoes provide about 80% of the lycopene in the world's diet. In plants, lycopene protects the host against excessive photodamage and performs various functions in photosynthesis.
On finding a potential compound for the prevention of liver injury, researchers investigated the potential oxidative damage of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in hepatic microsomal fractions in an animal model.
The study included rat liver microsomes that were divided into four groups.
* Group I served as a control and is incubated with vehicle (toluene).
* Groups II and IV incubated with 20 µM lycopene for 1 h before further incubating; and
* Groups III and IV with 15 nM of TCDD for a further 1 h.
Based on the tested analysis, groups treated with TCDD showed a significant increase in liver oxidative stress observed by increasing levels of Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production, lipid peroxidation (LPO),
Protein carbonyl content and activities of uridine 5'-diphosphate-glucuronyltransferase (UDPGT) and P450 associated with liver damage also increased substantially in the TCDD treatment groups.
Furthermore, the activity of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, glutathione-S-transferase, and glutathione reductase, and the microsomal thiol content produced by the rat liver microsomes was significantly decreased in the TCDD treatment groups.
Lycopene treatment group IV not only normalized the activities of the enzymes, thiol, and carbonyl content but also significantly reduced LPO and H2O2 production.
These results suggested that TCDD induced liver toxicity by increasing the levels of free radicals and decreasing the antioxidant activity in rat liver microsomes.
Based on the findings, researchers concluded, "TCDD induces significant oxidative stress in liver microsomes as manifested by increased LPO, H2O2 production, protein carbonyl content and activities of UDPGT and P450 and decreased antioxidant enzymes activities and thiol content".
Taken altogether, lycopene found in tomatoes may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of liver toxicity, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of lycopene in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

#Healthyfood #Cranberry Reduces the Risk of Cardiovascular Toxicity, Researchers Say
By Kyle J. Norton
Cardiac toxicity is a condition in which the heart has been damaged to some extent caused by harmful chemicals, including toxins induced by the treatment of chemotherapy, leading to reduced heart muscle function to pump blood and heart failure.
Long-term intake of certain medications and people who are under treatment of chemotherapy have been found in most cases of cardiotoxicity.
Dr. Polonsky TS, the lead scientist wrote, "Age and preexisting left ventricular dysfunction have been identified most consistently as being associated with the development of clinical heart failure or a worsening of left ventricular function with chemotherapy".
And, "Other cardiovascular conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, and coronary artery disease, are also associated with the risk of cardiotoxicity".
Additionally, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, genetic preposition, a malignant disease associated with the amyloid deposited on the heart or other organs, high blood pressure, untreated hyperthyroidism, and vitamin b2 deficiency are some of the most prevalent factors found in patients with cardiotoxicity.
Depending on the cells of the areas of the heart that have been damaged, cardiac toxicity includes
* Cardiomyopathy is a disorder that caused a weakening or damage of heart muscle, affecting the heart rhythm or inducing the risk of heart failure.
* Myocarditis is a condition of inflammation of the heart, that can lead to changes in heart rhythm or heart failure.
* Pericarditis is a condition caused by the inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart, inducing chest pain or heart failure.
* Acute coronary syndromes that affect the blood flow due to blood vessel damage.
* Congestive heart failure is a result that affects the function of the heart in pumping blood throughout the body.
The most common symptoms of cardiotoxicity are associated with not enough blood circulation in the body such as tiredness and fatigue, a long-term (chronic) cough, shortness of breath, floating due to the enlarged heart muscle, abnormal heart or lung sounds and swelling in your hands, feet, or unusual weight gain.
Conventionally, treatment of cardiotoxicity is totally depending on the types of the disease including
Beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors induce (widen) arterial dilation and improvement of the blood flow and diuretics.
Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belongings to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern America and Southern Asia. Because of its health benefits, cranberry has been cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.
In finding a potential compound for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, researchers examined the protective effect of cranberry extract (CRAN) against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity in an animal model.
According to the results of rats being given CRAN orally (100mg/kg/day for 10 consecutive days) and DOX (15mg/kg; i.p.) for 7 days, CRAN protected the heart function against DOX-induced increased mortality and ECG changes.
The reduced levels of antioxidants enzymes and increased oxidative stress in the cardiac tissues induced by DOX such as glutathione (GSH) depletion and oxidized glutathione (GSSG), malondialdehyde (MDA), and protein carbonyls were significantly inhibited by the administration of CRAN.
Furthermore, the reduced cardiac activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and glutathione reductase (GR) induced by DOX were also inhibited by CRAN.
Moreover, CRAN also improved the cardiac myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity against infection compared to untreated rats.
Most important, CRAN also normalized the levels of enzymes associated with cardio muscle damage and injury caused by DOX such as troponin I, creatine phosphokinase (CK), and creatine kinase-MB.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "CRAN alleviated histopathological changes in rats' hearts treated with DOX. In conclusion, CRAN protects against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity in rats".
Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a remedy for the protection of cardiovascular toxicity, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Enzyme #Bromelain Inhibits the Onset of #SkinCancer In Vitro, Researchers Say
By Kyle J. Norton
Skin cancer is a medical condition caused by irregular cell growth in the skin tissues, due to the alternation of cell DNA.
Most cases of skin cancer in the US are associated with prolong-period of sun exposure. In other words, UV rays that damage the skin have been the main culprit that causes the onset of skin cancer.
Believe it or not, according to the statistics, skin cancer is the most common cancer in the US. one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.
Every day, approximately 9,500 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with skin cancer due to a misunderstanding of the health benefits and risks of sun and tanning exposure.
Most common symptoms at the early stage, are a large brownish spot with darker speckles, a mole that changes in color, size, or feel or that bleeds, a small lesion with an irregular border, and portions that appear red, pink, and white, blue or blue-black.
There are 3 major types of skin cancer, including* Basal cell cancer
It is the most common type of skin cancer associated with the abnormal growth of the cells in the lowest layer of the epidermis. Cancer rarely spreads and kills but can cause significant destruction and disfigurement to the affected skin area, accounting for more than 90% of all skin cancer in the U.S.
* Squamous cell cancer
It arises from the uncontrolled multiplication of transformed malignant cells in the middle layer of the epidermis.
* Melanoma
Melanoma is less common compared to other skin cancer caused by the malignancy of melanocytes, the cell that produced dark pigment for your skin.
Some researchers suggested that by seeking shade, especially between 10 AM and 4 PM. covering yourself with proper sunglasses, clothing, and hat, and using sun protective cream, particularly in avoidance of tanning and UV tanning beds, most types of skin cancer are preventable
Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as an inflammatory agent and to treat pains, strains, muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.
In the urgency to find a natural ingredient for the treatment of skin cancer, researchers examined the bromelain (BL) effect in the form of nanoparticles (NPs) based delivery systems on skin cancer cells.
The formulated NPs with a mean particle size of 130.4 ± 8.81 nm exhibited sustained release of BL by observation of the analysis.
According to the tested assays, BL-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) NPs enhanced anti-tumor effects compared to free BL.
In the tumorigenesis mice model, NPs reduced the average number of tumors by 2.3 folds), delayed tumorigenesis by 2 weeks), and inhibited the percent tumorigenesis by 4 folds.
Furthermore, the administration of NPs also exerted a significant effect on reducing the percent mortality rate and the average tumor volume.
More precisely, NPs demonstrated anti-cancer cell efficacy was attributed to their capability in modulating the expression of pro-apoptotic (P53, Bax) and anti-apoptotic (Bcl2) proteins.
Based on the finding, researchers said, "developed NPs formulation could be used to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy by exerting chemo-preventive effects against induced carcinogenesis at lower dosages".
Additionally, in another mouse skin tumorigenesis model, bromelain not only exerted a similar effect on the aforementioned study it also reduced tumor volume up to a tune of approximately 65%.
In this case, bromelain induced cancer cells apoptosis by stimulating the expression of proteins associated with tumor-suppressive and pro-apoptotic genes, inhibiting the gene involved in anti-apoptosis.
Taken altogether, bromelain may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of skin cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of bromelain in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Skin cancer is a medical condition caused by irregular cell growth in the skin tissues, due to the alternation of cell DNA.
Most cases of skin cancer in the US are associated with prolong-period of sun exposure. In other words, UV rays that damage the skin have been the main culprit that causes the onset of skin cancer.
Believe it or not, according to the statistics, skin cancer is the most common cancer in the US. one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.
Every day, approximately 9,500 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with skin cancer due to a misunderstanding of the health benefits and risks of sun and tanning exposure.
Most common symptoms at the early stage, are a large brownish spot with darker speckles, a mole that changes in color, size, or feel or that bleeds, a small lesion with an irregular border, and portions that appear red, pink, and white, blue or blue-black.
There are 3 major types of skin cancer, including* Basal cell cancer
It is the most common type of skin cancer associated with the abnormal growth of the cells in the lowest layer of the epidermis. Cancer rarely spreads and kills but can cause significant destruction and disfigurement to the affected skin area, accounting for more than 90% of all skin cancer in the U.S.
* Squamous cell cancer
It arises from the uncontrolled multiplication of transformed malignant cells in the middle layer of the epidermis.
* Melanoma
Melanoma is less common compared to other skin cancer caused by the malignancy of melanocytes, the cell that produced dark pigment for your skin.
Some researchers suggested that by seeking shade, especially between 10 AM and 4 PM. covering yourself with proper sunglasses, clothing, and hat, and using sun protective cream, particularly in avoidance of tanning and UV tanning beds, most types of skin cancer are preventable
Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as an inflammatory agent and to treat pains, strains, muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.
In the urgency to find a natural ingredient for the treatment of skin cancer, researchers examined the bromelain (BL) effect in the form of nanoparticles (NPs) based delivery systems on skin cancer cells.
The formulated NPs with a mean particle size of 130.4 ± 8.81 nm exhibited sustained release of BL by observation of the analysis.
According to the tested assays, BL-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) NPs enhanced anti-tumor effects compared to free BL.
In the tumorigenesis mice model, NPs reduced the average number of tumors by 2.3 folds), delayed tumorigenesis by 2 weeks), and inhibited the percent tumorigenesis by 4 folds.
Furthermore, the administration of NPs also exerted a significant effect on reducing the percent mortality rate and the average tumor volume.
More precisely, NPs demonstrated anti-cancer cell efficacy was attributed to their capability in modulating the expression of pro-apoptotic (P53, Bax) and anti-apoptotic (Bcl2) proteins.
Based on the finding, researchers said, "developed NPs formulation could be used to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy by exerting chemo-preventive effects against induced carcinogenesis at lower dosages".
Additionally, in another mouse skin tumorigenesis model, bromelain not only exerted a similar effect on the aforementioned study it also reduced tumor volume up to a tune of approximately 65%.
In this case, bromelain induced cancer cells apoptosis by stimulating the expression of proteins associated with tumor-suppressive and pro-apoptotic genes, inhibiting the gene involved in anti-apoptosis.
Taken altogether, bromelain may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of skin cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of bromelain in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

#Healthyfood #Eggplant Reduces the Risk and Treatment ofType 2 Diabetes, Studies Suggest
By Kyle J. Norton
Eggplant, the night shape fruit or vegetable may have a strong effect in reducing the risk and treatment of type 2 diabetes, some researchers suggested.
Type 2 diabetes is a condition caused by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate glucose.
The condition of insulin resistance is either caused by cells in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol.
According to the US statistic in 2015, approximately 30.3 million Americans, or 9.4% of the population, had diabetes. and 1.25 million American children and adults have type 1 diabetes.
Some researchers suggested that the widespread type 2 diabetes in the US was associated with the promotion of the Western diet which has been found to complicate the risk of insulin receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol, affecting the receptor in absorbing and releasing insulin from and to the body.
Dr. Merat S, the lead scientist in the study of a group of mice involved in the Western diet risk of insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia wrote, "The Western diet group had higher average glucose levels (187+/-16 versus 159+/-12 mg/dL) and 4.5-fold higher plasma insulin levels".and "the Western diets commonly used in LDLR-/- mice may not only induce atherosclerosis but also IR, potentially complicating the interpretation of results".
These results firmly suggested long-term followers of the Western diet high in saturated and trans fat, red meat, processed foods, and low in fruits and vegetables are the main culprits for the onset of insulin resistance, the early stage of type 2 diabetes.
Therefore, by the change to a healthy diet that reduces the intake of total fat (saturated fatty acids in particular) and increases the intake of dietary fiber by consuming more vegetables and fruits and whole-grain cereal products, diabetes is preventable.
Dr. Matti Uusitupa, MD, in the article "Lifestyles Matter in the Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes" quoted, "In a Swedish uncontrolled study shown that an increase in physical activity and moderate weight loss reduced the incidence of type 2 diabetes by 50% in middle-aged men with IGT" and
"In a Chinese study of IGT patients, 6-year interventions with diet, physical activity, and diet plus physical activity resulted in an approximate 30–40% reduction in diabetes risk in both normal weight and overweight persons".
Eggplant is a species of S. melongena, belonging to the family Solanaceae and native to India, cultivated in southern and eastern Asia since prehistory.
The vegetable is famous for its deep purple and the best eggplant can be found from August through October when it is in the season. While it's generally thought of as a vegetable, eggplant is actually a fruit.
In the concerns of the widespread type 2 diabetes among Americans, researchers launched an investigation to examine the National Diabetes Education Program of NIH, Mayo Clinic, and American Diabetes Association recommendation of an eggplant-based diet as a choice for the management of type 2 diabetes.
The recommendation is based on the rationale is the high fiber and low soluble carbohydrate content of eggplant.
Application of phenolic-enriched extracts of eggplant showed a moderate free radical scavenging-linked antioxidant activity and high alpha-glucosidase inhibition by preventing the glucosidase in breaking down starch and disaccharides to glucose and moderate to high angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition activity in the prevention of β-cell dysfunction and apoptosis occurring in type 2diabetes.
By inhibiting these enzymes researchers suggested that intake of eggplant should provide a strong biochemical basis for the management of type 2 diabetes by controlling glucose absorption.
Dr.Kwon YI, the lead author said, "phenolic antioxidant-enriched dietary strategy also has the potential to reduce hyperglycemia-induced pathogenesis linked to cellular oxidation stress".
Further analysis of the phenolic antioxidant in the eggplant, researchers conducted an experiment on the member chlorogenic acids (CGAs) in chronic diseases including diabetes, by searching the database of online medical literature.
* The biological properties of CGA in addition to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects were found in some studies.
* CGA was found to exert pivotal roles in glucose and lipid metabolism regulation and in related disorders, e.g. diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), obesity, cancer, and hepatic steatosis.
* CGA demonstrated a wide range of potential health benefits, including its anti-diabetic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesity impacts, which may provide a non-pharmacological and non-invasive approach.
Taken altogether, eggplant processed with a high amount of phenolic compound may be considered a functional vegetable in the prevention of type 2 diabetes and an adjunct therapy combined with primary medicine for the treatment of the disease.

Ginger Inhibits the Onset of Type 2 #Diabetes, Scientists Say
By Kyle J. Norton
Ginger may be next-generation whole food used for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes, with no side effects, some scientists suggested.
Type 2 diabetes is a medical condition characterized by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate glucose due to either cell in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol.
Researchers do not know what causes the pancreas to die off or receptor sites to clog up. However, they do know obesity or overweight, gender, ethnicity, age, family history, and gestational diabetes, are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
Some researchers also suggested that people with certain medical conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome. and high blood pressure is more prone to the onset of the disease.
The most common symptoms of type 2 diabetes are increased thirst that won't stop with water intake, increased hunger (especially after eating), dry mouth, frequent urination, and unintentional weight loss.
If you experience some of the symptoms above, please make you check with your doctor to rule out the possibility of diabetes.
According to statistics, diabetes is one of the most common diseases in the US. Approximately 10% or 29.1 million people in the United States have diabetes, accompanied by 8.1 million that are undiagnosed and unaware of their condition.
About 1.4 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed in the United States every year. More than one in every 10 adults who are 20 years or older has diabetes.
Dr. Rita R. Kalyani in the study to examine the increase with age and risk of type 2 diabetes wrote, "The unprecedented aging of the world's population is a major contributor to the diabetes epidemic, and older adults represent one of the fastest-growing segments of the diabetes population".
"Almost one-third of U.S. adults over the age of 65 years have diabetes. Approximately half of those are undiagnosed, and an additional one-third of older adults have prediabetes" and "management of older adults with diabetes is clearly more complicated given the observation that they commonly have multiple coexisting medical conditions that can impact clinical management".
Compared to the general population risk of type 2 diabetes, the results clearly stated, the risk of type diabetes in the elderly is 3 fold higher and the management of the disease is more difficult due accompanied by other medical conditions, such as high blood pressure and cholesterol
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root, the second superfood used for thousands of years by mankind, is the genus Zingiber, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil.
The root has been used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.
With an aim to find a natural whole food for the prevention and treatment of diabetes with little or no side effects, researchers looked into the effects of ginger consumption on glycemic status, lipid profile, and some inflammatory markers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial, included 70 types 2 diabetic patients allocated randomly into the ginger group consumed 1600 mg of ginger, and the control group consumed 1600 mg of wheat flour daily for 12 weeks.
Patients treated with ginger demonstrated a significant effect in reducing the levels of fasting plasma glucose, 3 months average glucose concentration, and insulin resistance.
Furthermore, the blood profile of the treatment group also displayed lower levels of triglyceride, total cholesterol, a hormone associated with lipid peroxidation. compared to the placebo group.
There were no significant differences in high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein LDL, and TNFα, the inflammatory cytokine between the two groups.
The findings firmly indicated ginger improves insulin sensitivity and some fractions of lipid profiles and reduced inflammation in type 2 diabetic patients.
Additionally, with an aim to reaffirm the effects of ginger against the development of type 2 diabetes and diabetic complications, researchers investigated the effect of ginger supplementation on glycemic indices in Iranian patients with type 2 diabetes.
The double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial included 20-60 -year-old patients with type 2 diabetes who did not receive insulin.
Participants in the intervention and control groups received 3 g of powdered ginger or placebo (lactose) (in capsules) daily for 3 months.
At the end of the 3 months, researchers showed that all parameters associated with diabetes were reduced substantially in the treatment group compared to control.
More precisely, the differences between the ginger and placebo groups were statistically significant as follows: serum glucose (-19.41 ± 18.83 vs. 1.63 ± 4.28 mg/dL, p < 0.001), (Hemoglobin A1C)HbA1c percentage (-0.77 ± 0.88 vs. 0.02 ± 0.16%, p < 0.001), insulin (-1.46 ± 1.7 vs. 0.09 ± 0.34 μIU/mL, p < 0.001), insulin resistance (-16.38 ± 19.2 vs. 0.68 ± 2.7, p < 0.001), high-sensitive CRP (-2.78 ± 4.07 vs. 0.2 ± 0.77 mg/L, p < 0.001), paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) (22.04 ± 24.53 vs. 1.71 ± 2.72 U/L, p < 0.006), total antioxidant capacity (TAC) (0.78 ± 0.71 vs. -0.04 ± 0.29 µIU/mL, p < 0.01) and MDA (-0.85 ± 1.08 vs. 0.06 ± 0.08 µmol/L, p < 0.001) were significantly different.
Where paraoxonase ((PON)-1 is an enzyme associated with the protection against lipid oxidation, Malondialdehyde (MDA) is an oxidative stress marker.
Dr. Shidfar F, the lead scientist said, "The 3 months supplementation of ginger improved glycemic indices, TAC and PON-1 activity in patients with type 2 diabetes".
Taken altogether, ginger may be considered a functional food for the prevention and combined with the primary therapy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes with no side effects.

The Potential Effects of #Cinnamon on #CervicalCancer, According to Studies
By Kyle J. Norton
Cinnamon is a spice derived from the inner bark of a tree, native to South East Asia, of over 300 species of the genus Cinnamomum, belonging to the familyLauraceae, use in herbal and traditional medicine as an anti-fungal and bacterial level, to improve reproductive organs, prevent flatulence and intestinal cramping, and to treat indigestion, diarrhea, bad breath, headache, migraine, etc.
In the SiHa cancer cell line, established from cancerous tissues of the cervix uteri, methanol extracts of Gymnema sylvestre (GS) leave and Cinnamomum zeylanicum (CZ) bark exhibited dose-dependent cytotoxicity, inducing apoptosis.
Other researchers suggested that the effective use of cinnamon against tumor activity, particularly in cervical cancer cell line SiHa may result in a reduced number of colonies, and risk of migration potential through down-regulated normal physiological processes.
Dr. Kwon HK, the lead researcher at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, insisted, Cinnamomum cassia bark,.. containing several active components such as essential oils, expressed anti-tumor effect via enhanced pro-apoptotic and inhibition of pro-inflammatory activities, in vitro, and in vivo mouse melanoma model.
In fact, the potential anti-tumor effects of cinnamon may be due to increased anti-tumor activities in the suppression of progression by increasing the levels of cytolytic molecules and cytotoxic activity.
Although the whole herb medicine may be a potential agent for reduced risk and treatment of cervical cancer, oral use of cinnamon should be taken with care and only prescribed by an herbalist.
