there is a link between juvenile (type 1) diabetes and the insulin in

cow's milk

this is when infants or very young children are suddenly discovered to

be diabetic, and require immediate medical care to prevent coma and

death

 

this is different from adult-onset diabetes, which occurs typically

from a lifetime of uncontrolled blood sugars, related to excess

carbohydrate consumption and a lack of trained muscle, as well as

specific nutrient deficiencies that aggravate the problem

 

given that your friend was given mother's milk for the first 2.5 years

and not infant formula or cows milk, the potential for insulin-induced

cross-reactivity was greatly diminished

 

as for your friend - he sounds healthy, so i wouldn't worry

my father and my grandfather are also adult diabetics, but this is from

a lifetime of abuse

 

as for exercise, we need only 20-30 minutes a day to stay healthy, and

yoga is an excellent example of resistance-type training that trains

muscle

and when i say "exercise" i mean meaningful exercise: martial arts,

dancing, working, walking the dog, playing etc. - i personally think

working out in a gym is really boring, and is hardly the cure...

 

a quick measure of metabolic health is to look at the waist to hip ratio

measure your friend's hip and waist circumference - in health it should

be equal

if the waist circumference is greater than the hips then there is an

emerging problem that will likely get worse

its only in post-agricultural and industrial societies that people gain

weight with age - otherwise, all of us should have the same abdominal

girth we had when we were in our early 20's...

 

your friend is at the age where if there are underlying metabolic

problems they will tend to get worse as he ages, and he may follow his

father's diabetic pattern as he moves into his late 60's or early 70's

 

or maybe he is just one of the fortunate ones!

 

don't know if you recall the american actor and comedian George Burns -

he was skinny throughout his life and lived to be over a 100, while

smoking several cigars a day!

 

my great grandmother lived to 103, and while suffering a stroke in her

late 90's, had taken no preventative measures except to work hard on

the farm and have a glass of wine every night before bed!

 

i think the key for these folks however is the relative purity of the

food, air and water during childhood - something that in any part of

the world is becoming very uncommon

 

having visited the hunzas in northern pakistan, who routinely live to

well over a hundred, i can attest to the benefits of pure food and

water - i visited this region while suffering from both bacillary and

amoebic dysentery, and was essentially cured after two weeks of doing

noting except eating and drinking their food and water
