Comment The Post Below...
Readers:
The humidity is really getting to me. My house doesn't
have air conditioning so I have to brave the heat and
humidity every day and night.
I've noticed that my water intake has increased quite a
bit, but my urinary output is less frequent.
In conditions such as this make sure that you are drinking
plenty of water. I know I've said this before, but it's
important to remember. You don't often feel dehydrated
until it's too late. Make sure you keep cool, drink fluids
frequently and keep a close eye on your blood sugar.
Just a reminder. You can enjoy the summer weather, but you
have to make sure that you are healthy and safe.
Regards,
Steve

Low-fat Dairy Foods May Lower Women's Diabetes Risk
BY Megan Rauscher
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A diet that includes lots
of low-fat dairy products may lower the risk of type 2
diabetes in women, new research suggests.
Although a series of recent studies suggests that a high
level of dairy foods in the diet may lower the risk of
being overweight or developing insulin resistance
syndrome, studies that have examined the link between
these factors and diabetes risk are sparse, Dr. Simin
Liu, from the University of California Los Angeles School
of Public Health and colleagues note.
They therefore looked for the relationship between type 2
diabetes and dietary levels of dairy foods and calcium in
37,183 women in the Women's Health Study. A total of 1,603
women developed diabetes during an average follow-up of 10
years.
"The most important finding is that women who consumed
more low-fat dairy foods tended to experience a lower risk
of type 2 diabetes in a period of 10 years," Liu told
Reuters Health.
After adjusting for potentially confounding factors such
as weight, physical activity, and family history of
diabetes, women with the highest intake of dairy foods
were 21 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes
than those with the lowest intake, Liu's team reports in
the journal Diabetes Care.
"Each serving-per-day increase in dairy intake was
associated with a 4-percent lower risk."
The benefit of a high intake of low-fat dairy foods on
type 2 diabetes risk was independent of dietary calcium
and vitamin D. This is the first study, the authors add,
to tease out the effects of dairy food intake from those
of dietary calcium and vitamin D.
"The message," said Liu, "is that low-fat dairy foods
can be incorporated into a healthy diet that may lower
a woman's risk of diabetes."
The apparent anti-diabetes effect of a low-fat dairy-
packed diet seen in the current study of women mirrors
that shown previously in men. (see Reuters Health report
May 9, 2005: Low-fat dairy foods may lower diabetes risk
in men).
However, Liu and colleagues caution that further studies
are needed to confirm their observations "before public
health measures to increase dairy consumption can be
recommended for prevention of type 2 diabetes."
