Sugar Nation Book Report

I attended the event titled Unnatural Causes Bad Sugar on Thursday, October 22 from 6 to 7 p.m. The event centered on the ways in which many factors influence people’s lives and significantly impact health. The first part of the event centered on watching a short video that focused on the damage to health that Native American tribes faced after they lost their water. There was a large increase in the amount of Native Americans who got diabetes and who were dying. It was thought that biology and genes were one of the main causes behind the increase in diabetes, but in reality there were many other factors. Geographic location, social and economic class status, and income level has an impact on a person’s health.

The change in research priority shows that the people’s welfare is being devalued, and the world today only concerns about the economic growth. To illustrate the potential cost of this mentality, we should consider the disease for the twentieth century, type II diabetes. With all the resources rush to finance the research in food sales, no investigation is done with the cure for the disease. Correspondingly, people with diabetes continue to suffer. Furthermore, increasingly more people would be diagnosed with it as corporations’ research successfully put more calories and sugar into our

According to the CDC, 16% of WISEWOMAN clients have diabetes, and 14% have prediabetes. This high ratio of diabetic and prediabetes clients, provides an excellent opportunity for diabetes self-management and National DPP programs to partner with WISEWOMAN, to increase access to DSME and lifestyle change programs. This presentation will provide an overview about the WISEWOMAN program, share an update on WISEWOMAN and diabetes partnerships across the country, and suggest best practices for diabetes educators to use to leverage federal resources to pay for the National DPP.

The author, Smith-Morris is a researcher and associate Professor who closely studied the correlation between the Pima and diabetes. For this research, she used oral interviews and close observation of the community by living in the community for a decade. The author divided the book into five parts; she starts the first part with a metaphor of the diabetes and a native folk tale of ho’ok. In the story, the ho’ok, a folk-tale witch, whom the mothers in the Pima feared that they freely let her take away their children and eat them.

Moreover, he mentioned that the evidence presented about the food you should avoid is weak. Dr. Carroll said that you should just eat in moderation and stop worrying too much. Eating the food that

The immense amount of work I do daily just to function is invisible to most. No one sees the struggle but diabetes Is relentless and demands me to be attentive to it every hour of every day. Diabetes is certainly debilitating, demanding, and draining; however, I have still found positives in my disease. Type 1 Diabetes has given me tremendous strength, motivation to live healthy, a better perspective on life, and purpose to my future. After living 10 years with diabetes, I have learned plenty about how my body does (and unfortunately doesn’t) work and how to keep myself as healthy as possible.

Everyone should have known about diabetes. Some of you might think the cause of diabetes is taking too much of sugar but this is false. Diabetes is a result from insulin hormone. Generally, Insulin hormone from pancreas will change the form of sugar in blood to energy for use in cell but diabetes is a result of an ineffective Insulin or a pancreas produces too little of Insulin hormone.

Diabetes is a chronic illness caused by the impairment of natural insulin production, which results in elevated levels of glucose in a person's body. Knowledge about the disease and understanding of treatment options grew among healthcare professionals throughout the twentieth century, starting with the first insulin treatment in 1922. Along with treatment, doctors learned early in the disease's history that a timely diagnosis was essential to minimizing patient lifestyle changes, which can increase emotional stress and impair the patient's ability to properly manage their health. As diagnosis increased, it became more widely recognized among the public, as well. However, the depiction of diabetes in popular media between 1920 and 1965, especially

Although researchers and scientists continue to search for a viable causative factor for diabetes there are reasonable treatment options available for individuals at this time. These treatment options are not yours but rather methods for individuals to better manage their disease condition in order to reduce the possibility of long-term medical

My older sister, Maggie, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of eight, but I remained uneducated. I worried about Maggie, but I wasn’t sure why? Then, two years ago I when I was diagnosed, I got crash course! Up until freshman year, I still asked my mom which type of Diabetes Maggie had-- 1 or 2. There is nothing more frustrating then being asked that question when you’re a Type 1 Diabetic.

Real sugar is usually removed from diet products under the guise of helping customers to lose weight. The sugars are replaced with artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame (NutraSweet or Equal), saccharin (Sweet'N Low), or sucralose (Splenda). All of these sweeteners have been proven to actually cause weight gain by stimulating carbohydrate and sugar cravings. These chemicals successfully trick a brain into detecting that these products contain a sugar, so a person experiences an artificially-induced sugar crash -- only the artificial crash is worse, since there was never any real sugar for the flood of insulin to handle. Call it nature's revenge, if you like.
