If you're going to protect your health, exercise and nutrition are not enough.
Avoiding toxins in the environment may be vital.
An article by Scientific America dated July 20, 2009 reported a possible link may exist between a pesticide found in fish and the risk of developing diabetes, according to the magazine.
The pesticide DDT which was band some 35 years ago break down to DDE which becomes more concentrated as it moves up the food chain.
In the article David O.
Carpenter, director of the Institute for Health and the Environment said "Most people have not thought of diabetes as a disease related to environmental exposure," he said, "and these studies show that it is.
The science has been growing very, very rapidly, and to my mind, it's one of the most exciting developments in the study of diabetes.
" Reading the article one has to wonder if we are going to survive, don't we need change our direction and process of evaluating foods? The magazine also points out wisely that although the study's data does not indicate that DDE is a causal factor in diabetes directly, it does highlight the need for more scientific research relating to environmental exposure to pollutants and their implications on health Further evidence came from a sweeping study of more than 2,000 adults, conducted by the U.
S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that found people with the highest levels of six pollutants were 38 times more likely to have diabetes than those with the lowest exposure.
The chemicals, including PCBs, dioxins and DDE, were chosen because they were present in at least 80 percent of participants.
Think about it! If these studies are even close to being correct eating more unprocessed foods, eating more organic foods and cleansing your body is more important than even.
