Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic health problem that involves elevated blood sugar levels. The metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats directly or indirectly leads to the production of the substance glucose, also known as blood sugar. Glucose is needed to supply energy to every cell in the body. If glucose levels become too elevated then they become toxic to the brain and other body organs. With diabetes, two main problems can occur. | | Serum antioxidant vitamins and risk of cataract. british medical journal 305:1392-94.

Cholesterol, High
High levels of cholesterol in the blood are one of the many risk factors for serious future health problems (see the Cardiovascular Disease section for information on other risk markers). Too much cholesterol can increase the chances of developing heart disease (including possibly fatal heart attacks) and stroke. |

See book keywords and concepts |  When a recent study in the british medical journal factored in fiber intake, the usual association between saturated fat and coronary disease risk practically vanished. The study concluded that the adverse effects of saturated fat and cholesterol are "at least in part explained by their low-fiber content and their associations with other risk factors." The researchers further stated that "benefits of reducing intakes of saturated fat and cholesterol are likely to be modest unless accompanied by an increased consumption of foods rich in fiber. | | The Lancet, Cardiovascular Review, british medical journal, The Archives of Internal Medicine, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, and Nature to his credit.
Yudkin was typically portrayed by his detractors as a wild-eyed fanatic who blamed sugar as the cause of heart disease, but in fact he was nothing of the sort. In his 1972 book, Sweet and Dangerous, he was the embodiment of reason when he called for a reexamination of the data—which he considered highly flawed—that led to the hypothesis that fat causes heart disease. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The british medical journal reported that taking aspirin before consuming an allergenic food makes it possible for more of the allergy-provoking food to be absorbed. In contrast, taking Aerobic Bulk Cleanse from Aerobic Life Industries combined with aloe vera juice may slow the absorption of foods that cause a reaction. Taking oat bran or guar gum in the morning works in the same way. Wheat bran is not recommended as a source of fiber for allergy-prone individuals because wheat is highly allergenic.

See book keywords and concepts |  Two major reviews in prestigious medical journals (the british medical journal and Annals of Internal Medicine) analyzed the benefits and risks of aspirin. The British investigators reviewed nearly 300 clinical trials involving aspirin. Their American counterparts analyzed five major studies involving more than 50,000 patients. Both groups found that preventive aspirin therapy reduces the likelihood of heart attacks and strokes by one-fourth to one-third.465-466
Yet millions of people who could benefit from this inexpensive, life-saving treatment are not taking it. | | A review (called a meta-analysis) of many antidepressant studies in the british medical journal concluded that "selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors have no clinically meaningful advantage over placebo" and that "antidepressants have not been convincingly shown to affect the long-term outcome of depression or suicide rates."16
In any other business, people would demand better results, especially when they have to pay so much. But patients rarely question their doctors' prescriptions. They mostly assume their medicine has a much better track record than has actually been proven. | | A scientific analysis of 23 different studies was published in the british medical journal in 2004. This meta-analysis involved more than 10,000 patients and revealed a shocking discovery: "NSAIDs can reduce short-term pain in osteoarthritis of the knee slightly better than placebo, but the current analysis does not support prolonged use; of NSAIDs for this condition. As serious adverse effects are associated with oral NSAIDs, only limited use can be recommended."60
What a bombshell! | | The well-designed study you refer to was reported in the british medical journal (December 16, 2004). The researchers randomly assigned patients to wear a bracelet containing a strong magnet, a weak magnet, or nonmagnetic washers.
After 3 months the patients wearing the strong magnets had measurable relief from hip and knee pain. The placebo effect is hard to eliminate in such studies, but these scientists did their best to control for it. | | Several years ago a controversial editorial appeared in the british medical journal entitled "Angiotensin Receptor Blockers and Myocardial Infarction [heart attack]: These Drugs May Increase Myocardial Infarction—and Patients May Need to Be Told."638 The authors reviewed studies that showed that ARBs lowered blood pressure but actually seemed to increase the risk of heart attack. Needless to say, this commentary stirred up a hornet's nest of protest in the cardiology community.
Subsequent review and analysis have concluded that there is no difference between ACE inhibitors and ARBs. | | Well-conducted clinical trials published in such reputablejournals as the Lancet, the Annals of Internal Medicine, and the british medical journal confirm that acupuncture can be a useful adjunct to osteoarthritis therapy.

See book keywords and concepts |  And as it turned out, Johnson's article also inspired others, including one in the british medical journal that would attract worldwide attention. The BMJ piece drew heavily on Tiefer s research, and featured interviews with Irwin Goldstein, Laura Berman, Ed Laumann, and John Bancroft. The piece provoked an immense response, both positive and negative, on the BMJ website, within the wider health care community and in the media in several nations. It also provoked an immediate reaction from another quarter. | | Heath, who works with the Royal College of General Practitioners as well as the british medical journal, rejects the "pill-for-every-ill" model, where the patient is characterized as "broken" and the physician is there to "fix" him or her. Instead, she sees the interaction with her patients as part of a much richer relationship. Her goal is to come to mutual agreement on the extent to which a person may want to see their difficulties as a medical problem that might require treatment. | | I know the frustration she went through and her parents went through," he told a reporter from the british medical journal.6 As for drugs, Holliday said, she had only taken her medication intermittently during school time, mainly to help with tests. "It really did the job," he said, before jumping back into his golf cart and adding with fatherly pride that she had just graduated from college with honors. | | According to an article in the british medical journal, when Pfizer staff learned through a research agency that doctors' awareness of some preliminary ALLHAT results was minimal, "they took steps to avoid sullying that lack of awareness."31 And when Pfizer representatives heard that Curt Furberg was presenting early data about one of the company's drugs from the ALLHAT trial at a scientific conference in San Francisco, the company organized for visiting international heart specialists to go out on a sightseeing trip rather than hear the presentation. | | In 1999, again in the british medical journal, Professor Terence Wilkin from the University of Plymouth argued strongly that based on his reading of the scientific evidence, the widely used tests were not good predictors of future fractures.18 Rather than manage osteoporosis by numbers, Wilkin wrote, there should be more focus on other strategies like preventing falls among the elderly. | | While Eastell's links with the pharmaceutical industry were not specified in the british medical journal, they were disclosed elsewhere at the time: he was an adviser to four drug companies.19
Yet despite the uncertainty and debate about how reliably the bone density tests can predict whether a person goes on to have a fracture, their uptake has continued to expand dramatically. In Vancouver, British Columbia, at the Women's and Children's Health Centre, one of the early Canadian champions of testing, Dr. Brian Lentle, runs the hospital's quality program for bone density testing. |
