Is it July 22nd yet?

If so and you are reading this, then you are reading something more than 36 hours after I posted it. Why is this of any relevance whatsoever? Good question. According to some statistical physicists:

The average half-life of a news item is just 36 hours, or one and a half days after it is released.

That is why it is important to check the date that you first read this article. In fact why don't all 3 of my readers make a comment to this posting about when they viewed it. I would be curious to look back in a couple months and see if this article proves true.

Insulin Fun

According to this article scientist have found a new way to make insulin that is usable in humans. This is good news for all the people out there with Type 1 diabetes. Those of you with Type 2 diabetes should really be kicking yourselves for not understanding how to eat properly all those years. A year or so ago I was talking with someone who use to rent at the same apartment complex as myself. (I should point out that my fellow renter was overweight by at least 40lbs + in my estimation.)

The Conversation went something like this:

Bob: Yeah, so the doctor diagnosed me with Type 2 diabetes.
Me:Oooh not good.
Bob: Yeah I have to start watching my diet now
Me: Yeah I can imagine
Bob: (who is still clueless about proper diet)
It's not so bad though I have already lost 10 lbs
(At this point Bob lights a cigarette up.)
Me: Well that's good
Bob: Yup, I use to go to 7-11 for breakfast and get a great big thing of orange juice and 2 bearclaws.
Me: You did what?!?
Bob: Yeah I can't do that anymore
Me: Probably for the best

I could continue but there is really no point. Let me explain something to those of you whose breakfast is currently similar. When you eat mass amounts of sugar your body releases insulin in order to balance out your blood sugar. When you continue day after day, year after year with bad eating habits it can eventually lead to insulin resistance. This is when you start developing Type 2 diabetes. This is preventable!

I think that one of the cause for there being an increased need for insulin would be Type 2 diabetics. While the article may disagrees with me over this, I think it may still be a factor.

Worldwide demand for insulin is forecast to soar to 16,000 kg by 2010, from an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 kg last year, because more people are developing the disease and are being diagnosed earlier in their lives, and because of the development of new products such has inhaled insulin, which requires five to 10 times the amount of injected insulin, Mr. Baum said.

Here is a book that you should read to get you started about understanding your weight and health problems. Hopefully this will help.

I would like to point out that I am not a
medical doctor but, I think my advice is probably
just as valid if not more so.

WOW - Must read book!

I would really advice everyone to take the time to figure out what this book is about and definitely read some of the reviews found on the bottom of the page.
Enjoy
