#fructose kidney damage short magnesium

10.17: news.health/kidney/fructose damage may be from magnesium deficiency:

"We showed that hypomagnesemia independently predicts
the progression to end stage renal disease
in patients with advanced type 2 diabetic nephropathy" .
"Our findings suggest that magnesium supplementation
may be renoprotective in this population."

[Diabetes Care 2012 Yusuke Sakaguchi]
-- this could be how fructose causes kidney damage:
it creates insulin resistance,
which in turn causes magnesium resistance .

#Alzheimers #slowcarb vs #prions

diane rheme show radio:
(interviewing a doctor who wrote a book about halucinations).
. alzheimers and parkinsons may both be
caused by prions, which are bent proteins
-- coincidentally,
high blood sugar can bend proteins;
so, perhaps high sugar promotes prions?

10.10: news.health/alz/Dr.Blaylock:
. inflammation and excitotoxicity
create free radicals; [stale buzz word
and he mispronounces acetylcholinesterase too?
but he does mention role of sugar
-- cutting-edge alzheimers research .].

avoid flu without vaccine

10.8: news.health/avoid flu without vaccine:
. to avoid flu,  according to Dr.Mercola,
vit'd is key, along with the zone diet,
and eating right for your type:
. the Carb Nutritional Type requires about
60..80 % of food as carbs, and 10..15 % fat .
. the Protein Nutritional Type does better on
low-carb diet (50 % fats, and 10 % carb's).
. when you look at the Perfect Health diet,
keep in mind that not every nutritional type
can tolerate potatoes and rice .
 There is a major difference between
low-glycemic vegetables and
high-glycemic grains and starches;
and only vegetables are "safe carb's" to all types .

prediabetes epidemic precedes #diabetes epidemic

10.1: news.health/prediabetes/defined and risk-assessed:
. prediabetes is defined as

 (FPG[fasting plasma glucose] 100–125 mg/dL
or a hemoglobin A1c level of 5.7%–6.4%)
--  higher than normal but not high enough to be
classified as diabetes.
In 2010, approximately 1/3 of U.S. 20+ year-olds
had prediabetes, (an estimated 79 million persons).
. during 2005–2006, only approximately 7%
of persons with prediabetes
were aware that they had prediabetes.
Each year, 11% of persons with prediabetes
who do not lose weight
and do not engage in  moderate physical activity
will progress to type 2 diabetes
during the average 3 years of follow-up.
Evidence-based lifestyle programs
that encourage dietary changes,
moderate-intensity physical activity,
and modest weight loss
can delay or prevent type 2 diabetes
in persons with prediabetes.

dem vs repub are like sunni vs shia

10.2: relig/dem vs repub are like sunni vs shia:
. there is a major split in Islam
over how the politics should be decided;
should the rulers pick their successors,
or should the people or their elected rep's
vote on who the next leaders are ?
Christians are the same way:
traditionals point at the bible
which is sort of dictating leadership,
since we never get to vote on what a good god is .
. democrats are the other christian
who believe all laws should be voted upon,
therefore, republicans are like the shia,
and democrats are like the sunni .
we need to write the democrat's bible,
pointing out that the traditional bible
is dictating to us what kind of god we have
without showing us verifiable evidence
such as parapsychology's evidence of supernature .
. a bible should include commentary like:
" certain ancient tribes claimed the god
actually has a 10-commandment opinion,
which includes not killing;
but if you look at nature
-- the first hand of god --
killing is our number#1 means of
staying healthy and strong;
likewise if we can't make a person happy,
we should offer them euthanasia .
. god also gave us big brains to
figure ways to cure sick people,
so the law of efficiency and progress
should be telling us to cure whenever possible;
esp'ly because, the more people we cure,
the less the woman labors to replace them ."

Reading Literary Fiction Improves Theory of Mind
Understanding others’ mental states is a crucial skill
that enables the complex social relationships
that characterize human societies.
Yet little research has investigated what fosters this skill,
which is known as Theory of Mind (ToM), in adults.
We present five experiments showing that
reading literary fiction led to
better performance on tests of
affective and cognitive ToM
compared with reading nonfiction,
popular fiction, or nothing at all .
Specifically, these results show that
reading literary fiction temporarily enhances ToM.
More broadly, they suggest that ToM may be influenced by
engagement with works of art.

ny times:

 . a study published Thursday in the journal Science.
 found that after reading literary fiction,
 as opposed to popular fiction or serious nonfiction,
 people performed better on tests measuring
 empathy, social perception and emotional intelligence
 — skills for reading someone’s body language
 or gauging what they might be thinking .
To find [those not exposed to art already
they look beyond college students:]
they used Amazon’s Mechanical Turk service,
where people sign up to earn money
for completing small jobs.
People ranging in age from 18 to 75
were recruited for each of five experiments.
They were paid $2 or $3 each to read for a few minutes..
Some were given excerpts from award-winning literary fiction
 (Don DeLillo, Wendell Berry). Dostoyevsky .
Literary fiction readers also scored
better than nonfiction readers
— and popular fiction readers made as many mistakes
as people who read nothing.
. subjects said they did not enjoy literary fiction
as much as other reading tasks .
