artificial sweeteners are not a healthy alternative, and Aspartame is no different. This artificial sweetener, accidentally found by a researcher, known as James M. Schlatter, who was working on a treatment for stomach ulcers in 1965, is commonly found in diet sodas, sugar-free gums and Jell-Os, and children's medications/vitamins among many other food products. Aspartame is nowhere near a better alternative to natural table sugar with its undesirable and sometimes downright dangerous side…
do an A1C, influenza vaccine, and one eye exam. The expected outcome of this research is reducing the number of incidences of Diabetic Retinopathy in adults 18 to 75 years of age. The Health Promotion Model (HPM) will be used in my research to show how increased knowledge about diabetes and health management will benefit a diabetic patient and reduce incidences of diabetic retinopathy. The model emphasizes the need to be properly protected and…
Diabetic retinopathy (DR), which affects approximately one-third of the 29 million Americans with diabetes mellitus (DM), is the leading cause of new cases of blindness in US working-age adults. Our lab has previously shown a link between specific European mitochondrial haplogroups and DR severity, but not the presence of DR. A follow-up study by the lab showed that higher glycosylated hemoglobin is a proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) risk factor only in DR patients from mitochondrial…

Corinna Koebnick and colleagues studied 513 raw-foodists with who ate between 70 percent and 100 percent raw food in their diets. The average weight loss when changing from a cooked to a raw diet was 26.5 pounds for women and 21.8 pounds for men. They found that a third of the study subjects had a chronic energy deficiency, leading them to conclude that “a strict raw food diet cannot guarantee an adequate energy supply.” This study was done on modern humans living in Germany, where subjects went…

In this chapter, you discover the vast health benefits of a vegan diet, what vegan living entails, and…
etc.) altogether from your diet and instead decide to consume other foods high in protein, calories, and nutrients in its place. People become vegans for many reasons, the most popular being moral/ethical/religious beliefs or health benefits. However, in our modern day world, veganism has collected much controversy over many factors, one being its environmental practicality/sustainability, and another in its ethicality, and in some cases, malnourishment. An omnivore diet (containing meat,…
