Diabetes Spurred By Adult Lifestyles
A lot of people still believe the getting Type 2 Diabetes is mainly a genetic issue. But now, more research is pointing to the influence of adult lifestyles--or more specifically, choices people make when they're adults. Check out the article below.
Yahoo! Health News: Diabetes Spurred By Adult Lifestyles
The study started just after World War II, which puts it at one of the longer ones done on humans. That gives it extra power to determine what causes the problems, as researchers have been following the choices these families have made for nearly sixty years.
I was a little surprised to learn that a lot of researchers believed--and many probably still do believe--that getting insulin resistance is due to impaired womb development. Of course, putting the poor decisions of a child--even one well into adulthood--onto its mother is not a new. Researchers have long blamed pregnant women for all sorts of things.
Though this article doesn't go into these adult lifestyle decisions, we know pretty well that eating massive amounts of sugar and not getting enough quality exercise is among the risk factors for developing adult diabetes symptoms like insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. Digg This!
