Fructose Sugar Makes Maturing Human Fat Cells Fatter, Less Insulin-Sensitive, Study Finds
ScienceDaily (June 21, 2010) â Fructose, a sugar widely used in soft drinks and processed foods, often gets some of the blame for the widespread rise in obesity. Now a laboratory study has found that when fructose is present as children’s fat cells mature, it makes more of these cells mature into fat cells in belly fat and less able to respond to insulin in both belly fat and fat located below the skin.

Cellular Pathway Could Provide Evidence of How Cancer and Obesity Are Linked
ScienceDaily (Apr. 6, 2010) â The link between obesity and disease has been well documented. There’s evidence now that obesity and cancer have a strong link, as they’ve shown in the United States at least 90,000 cancer deaths a year can be attributed to obesity. University of Alberta researcher Richard Lamb is on his way to understanding the correlation and it’s a good example of how the scientific process works.

Men: How Potent Are You, Really?
You may not be as virile as you thinkâŚ
There may still be something that you arenât even aware of wrong with your reproductive system. A recent study revealed that if you donât get enough of a certain nutrient, you risk sterilityâor worse.
Truth is, if youâre like most men, youâre probably not getting enough folate.
This is a member of the B complex of vitamins. Leafy greens like spinach and kale are especially rich in folate, along with dried beans, peas, and turnips. Weâve known for decades that it plays a critical role in female reproductive health, improving fertility and insuring the health of the developing fetus.
Turns out itâs just as important for male fertility.
In a study published in Human Reproduction, researchers found that men with low levels of folate also had a higher percentage of defective sperm, even though they were otherwise completely healthy.1
Meanwhile men who got between 700 and 1,200 mcgs of folate per day had 20-30 percent fewer damaged sperm.
This is especially dangerous for would-be fathers. The hazards go beyond the inability to conceive. Without enough folate, you could be at greater risk of having a child with Downâs syndrome and other serious birth defectsâeven miscarriage.
This underscores a point I stress to my male patients (and couples) all the time: often a simple change in diet and nutrition is all you need to restore optimum sexual health and functionâand fertility.
Iâve actually been able to help many couples over the years whoâve been having difficulty getting pregnantâwithout prescription drugs, invasive surgery, or other risky procedures.
The study also highlighted the importance of several other nutrients in maintaining manhood: zinc and the antioxidants C, E, and beta-carotene.
I run tests for nutrient blood levels with new patients. Ask your doctor to do the same. If youâre running low on folate (or âfolic acidâ), you can boost it by getting more greens in your diet (organic if possible) or through supplements.
I usually get my male patients on 800 mcg per day, but as the study indicates, you can go as high as 1,200 mcg to enhance the health and integrity of your sperm cell reserves.
Zinc is one of the most important ârocksâ men need to stay virile, insure optimum prostate health, and remain sexually active well into your advanced years. Because itâs found in highest concentrations in your prostate, you could say itâs the must-have ââmanâ mineral.
Take 30 mgs per day.
As for the antioxidants the study highlighted, youâll want to take all of themâand more. You can find all of them in health food stores or on line (amounts are daily):
- Vitamin A â 2,500 IU
- Vitamin C â As much as two 5,000 mg per day in divided dose.
- Vitamin E â 400 IU
- Beta carotene â 20 mg
- CoQ10 â 30 mg
- Lutein â 20 mg
- Lycopeine â 20 mg
One other important point: donât expect your average âone-a-dayâ multivitamin to deliver enough of these nutrients. Many if not most of them donât even contain these nutrients. And they usually use synthetic rather than organic versions, which your body canât absorb or use.
Donât take your virility and potency for granted. There can be hidden problems that you and even your doctor may not notice. Visit Catalog-Click ‘Daily Power:”
