What Everybody Should Know About Cancer and Diabetes Prevention with Maple Syrup...
Are you looking for a natural solution to reduce the risk of diabetes and slow down the growth of cancer cells? Your search is probably over because recent studies have shown that maple syrup holds the key to these problems. US researchers have found that maple syrup has the ability to substantially decrease the risk of diabetes. The syrup also showed great potential in slowing down the growth of cancerous cells. Maple syrup has thirteen active antioxidant substances. These antioxidants were previously unknown but were discovered only recently. Because of these antioxidants, researchers have firmed up that maple syrup has a great potential in fighting cancer growth, diabetes, and infections.
Food for Diabetic Sufferers...
Maple syrup contains increased levels of abscisic acid and phytohormone. These substances can effectively defend your body against diabetes and metabolic syndrome. The acid has a unique role in controlling diabetes. It releases insulin through the pancreatic cells and promotes enhanced sensitivity of fat cells to insulin. Because of these unique actions, maple syrup can control diabetes. The results of the studies were presented to the American Chemical Society in San Francisco. These results were carefully reviewed by other experts in the field.
The Anti Cancer Potential of Maple Syrup...
Quebec researchers, on the other hand, conducted a study to probe the impact of maple syrup on cancer cell growth. The results of this study were published in the Journal of Medicinal Food. According to the researchers, your favorite maple syrup can significantly slow down the growth of cancerous cells. It has been found that the syrup is effective in inhibiting the growth of brain, prostate, and lung cancer. However, the efficacy of the syrup on breast cancer growth was less significant.
Your Tasty Alternative to Fight Cancer and Diabetes...
Maple syrup can serve as your tasty alternative in fighting cancer and diabetes. There are many anti cancer foods today like blueberries, tomatoes, broccoli, and carrots. However, recent studies have shown that maple syrup is more effective against cancer compared to other anti cancer foods. Laboratory testing results also show that the syrup is more potent compared to the maple sap. It is also ideal to use the pure dark syrup rather than the lighter syrup. Dark syrup has high color oxidation. This is the reason why darker maple syrup should be preferred. So if you want a better alternative to fight cancer and diabetes, then your favorite maple syrup is a good option.

Children With Fatter Midsections At Increased Risk For Cardiovascular Disease, Study Finds...
Children with more fat around their midsections could be at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life, researchers say.
Fish Oil Benefits Even After Heart Attack, New Study Finds...
(NaturalNews) Study after study over the past decade has come up with the same conclusion: omega-3 fatty acids from fish or fish oil supplements decrease the risk of atherosclerosis, potentially deadly arrhythmias, heart attacks, and sudden cardiac death. Omega-3 fats have also been found to reduce heart failure death by about nine percent in patients with grave prognoses. But what about people with serious heart disease who have already had heart attacks. Is there any hope omega-3s can help their cardiovascular (CV) health, too? A new study of tens of thousands of patients shows the answer is a resounding "yes".

Findings published in Cancer Causes and Control also showed that carotenoids, niacin, thiamine, and vitamin D may reduce the risk of bladder cancer in older people.
“The effects of vitamin E, carotenoids, vitamin D, thiamin, and niacin in relation to the risk of developing bladder cancer may warrant further investigation,” report the researchers, led by Maree Brinkman from The Cancer Council Victoria in Australia.

Magnesium Supplement Helps Boost Brainpower...
New research finds that an increase in brain magnesium improves learning and memory in young and old rats. The study, published in the January 28th issue of the journal Neuron, suggests that increasing magnesium intake may be a valid strategy to enhance cognitive abilities and supports speculation that inadequate levels of magnesium impair cognitive function, leading to faster deterioration of memory in aging humans.

Sometimes a fad comes along and it makes sense to join in...
Everyday I talk with my sister-in-law Betty by phone. She lives 2 blocks away but we like to keep in touch. One day a few weeks ago she said tell me about Chia Seeds. I said what do you want to know, are you thinking of growing a Chia pet? No, she laughed, the kind you eat. They are suppose to be super food high in omega 3's or something. She proceeded to tell me how her friend who lives here, but came from Italy originally, had heard about them from a relative there. Apparently it's all the rage there. I said, oh it must be just one of those health food fads that come along, I don't pay much attention to them. A little pompous I was... She bought some and said she felt a lot of energy from them, so I tried them and found the same thing. An almost euphoric feeling, very vibratory in nature, comes over you about 15 minutes after you consume them.
I got to work and started to research all about them.
They are. in fact, a super food that has been used since the Aztec days.
I have highlighted 2 articles this week on them and what they do. I also found a great source for those that want to try them.
Chia Seeds - 16 oz - They sell here at the local health food store for $17.00 for 16 oz. You save $6.00, and the quality is great.
Enjoy this week's article, studies, and videos.
And remember, you are never too old to become younger.

Chia Seeds Benefit Health...
(NaturalNews) Chia seeds are one of these foods that, if you talk about them with other people, you'll inevitably get a blank stare back at you. That's fine because that gives you the chance to tell people about what is thought to be one of the healthiest foods you can eat. The name chia comes from the Aztec word for 'oily', which is 'chian', and this explains well what one of the main benefits of chia is; it is very high in omega-3 acids, which are a type of unsaturated fats.
Chia Seeds (Salvia Hispanica) for Radiant Health, Endurance, and Boundless Energy...
Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L) was first used as food as early as 3500 B.C. The ancient Aztec civilization used Chia seed to provide them with radiant health, endurance, and boundless energy. The seeds have twice the protein of any other seed or grain, five times the calcium of milk, boron which is a trace mineral that helps transfer calcium into your bones, omega 3 and omega 6, which are essential oils for the body. They also have a very long list of other valuable nutrients. The Aztecs prized this grain more highly than gold and they even used it as medicine. The soluble fiber in the gel forms a wall between carbohydrates and the body, releasing them slowly into the body. This has been found to be very helpful for people who have trouble controlling their sugar levels like Diabetics.

Beets are an Alternative Cancer Treatment...
(NaturalNews) Beets are one of nature's wonder foods. They've recently been found to increase stamina during exercise by 16 percent and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Beets are known to break up cancers and tumors, and they're known to do so faster than the body can eliminate them.

Supplements Best Way to Raise Vitamin D Levels...
The best way to get enough vitamin D is through food, right? No, according to the latest Harvard Heart Letter, which says supplements are the best way for Americans to raise their body’s level of vitamin D, which in most cases are too low right this moment.
Low-carb gaining a foothold…with the mainstream...
The video above shows Chris Gardner, Ph.D., researcher from Stanford University, giving a presentation about the data he generated when he compared the Atkins diet to the Ornish diet, the Zone diet, and the LEARN diet. You all probably remember this study, which he published in JAMA in 2007, showing the low-carb diet brought about greater weight loss and better lab value improvement than the other three diets.
The 7 foods experts won't eat...
How healthy (or not) certain foods are—for us, for the environment—is a hotly debated topic among experts and consumers alike, and there are no easy answers. But when Prevention talked to the people at the forefront of food safety and asked them one simple question—“What foods do you avoid?”—we got some pretty interesting answers. Although these foods don’t necessarily make up a "banned” list as you head into the holidays—and all the grocery shopping that comes with it—their answers are, well, food for thought.
