Another Nurses' diet/diabetes study

Just published in JAMA, this one has so many twisting paths it's best

Sugar-Sweetened Beverages, Weight Gain, and Incidence of Type 2
Diabetes in Young and Middle-Aged Women
Matthias B. Schulze, DrPH; JoAnn E. Manson, MD; David S. Ludwig, MD;
Graham A. Colditz, MD; Meir J. Stampfer, MD; Walter C. Willett, MD; Frank B. Hu, MD
JAMA. 2004;292:927-934.

Here's where it gets complicated.

RESULTS
Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Weight Change
Women with a higher intake of sugar-sweetened soft drinks tended to be
less physically active, to smoke more, and to have higher intake of total
energy and lower intake of protein, alcohol, magnesium, and cereal fiber
(Table 1). Intake of total carbohydrates, sucrose, and fructose as well
as the overall glycemic index were higher in women with greater sugar-
sweetened soft drink consumption, but starch intake was lower.

<snip>

During 716 300 person-years of follow-up, we documented 741 new cases
of type 2 diabetes. Greater sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption was
strongly associated with progressively higher risk of type 2 diabetes (Table 3).

<snip>

Diet soft drink consumption was associated with a slight, nonsignificant
increased diabetes risk after additional adjustment for baseline BMI.

<snip>

Fruit juice consumption was not associated with diabetes risk. The
multivariate-adjusted RR of diabetes comparing women who consumed
more than 1 drink per day of fruit juices with women who consumed less
than 1 drink per month of fruit juices was 0.97 (95% CI, 0.64-1.47; P = .84 for trend).

Certainly Willett and his co-authors could claim it was mere oversight on their
part to not even mention this major conflicting study in the write-up of their
study, but that assertion would be on thin ice given that Harvard Medical
School’s JoAnn Manson was a co-author of both studies!
When I asked Manson how she reconciled the conflicting results, she reached
for her media-training skills and tried deflecting me with congratulations for
discovering the April 2003 study and for being the first media person to ask
her that "great" question. She then told me that what really made the new
study compelling was that it measured the health impact of a change in soft
drink consumption. That still did not answer my question.

JoAnn Manson is in the news again promoting the Kronos KEEPS study.

For younger women, time to reconsider hormone therapy

After all that time without estrogen, Harman and Manson and others
now believe, most women develop the most hazardous kind of
deposits in their arteries. By their mid-60s, women are having heart
attacks at nearly the same rate as men.

Post by Terri
In the same way that people looked to the health initiative to clarify the
confusing question of hormone therapy's effects on health, many
researchers now are hanging their hopes for a clearer picture on the Kronos
study.
"I hope the KEEPS trial will be revealing," Manson said. "I think it
looks promising."

Didn't Manson say earlier that the effect of the progestin in HRT
needed clarification too? Whoops that was before KEEPS found out it
needed independant evaluations of endometrial biopsy slides if they
used natural progesterone so they are using a same old, same old
progestin too. No mention of progestin at all in this article.

Manson is a whore who is for sale to the highest bidder. Maybe she can't
get any grant money to do anything else but push hormones on post
menopausal women.


The lie that the younger women had slightly fewer heart attacks if they
were on homrones than if they were not is just that - a lie. The reality
is that the younger women on hormones had slightly MORE heart attacks
than did the older ones on hormones and that in all ages groups women on
hormones had more heart attacks and strokes than women not on hormones.

White Rice Linked to Diabetes Risk

White rice, the staple food of several Asian countries, has been found to increase the chances of developing type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is closely related with inappropriate dietary pattern and obesity.

Eat Breakfast, Cut Diabetes Risk

A recent study has revealed that people, who eat breakfast every day, are less likely to develop obesity, type 2 diabetes or even fat around the tummy. Presented at the annual meeting of American Diabetes Association, the study includes over 5,000 men and women, none of whom had type 2 diabetes when they entered the study.

Tips for Dining Out with Diabetes

If you are a diabetic, be particularly careful about the salt content of the food when you eat out. This is because high salt content is linked to disorders such as high blood pressure which can cause heart disease and stroke. More than two out of three deaths due to diabetes are attributed to heart disease and stroke. With some tips for dining out with diabetes, you can ensure that your salt intake is under control.

Are Peaches Good for Diabetics?
