Diet, nutrition, and obesity

Written by Scott LaMar, Director of Radio Smart Talk

Radio Smart Talk for Wednesday, November 9:

Monday, November 14 is World Diabetes Day. It is a time to raise awareness of a disease that affects some 23 million people nationwide. Diet is a significant factor in the onset of diabetes. Too many Americans eat unhealthy foods and make matters worse by not exercising. It's one of the reasons the country has an obesity epidemic.

Meanwhile, almost 12 million Americans are living with some form of cancer and it's expected another 1.5 million will be diagnosed this year. There are certain healthy foods that help fight cancer. It just so happens that many of these foods fit into a healthy lifestyle period.

On Wednesday's Radio Smart Talk, we'll discuss diet, nutrition and obesity and how they relate to cancer and diabetes.

The audio link between your studio and the Cancer Doctor who was your guest today was of unsatisfactory audio quality. I had to turn off the radio after 20 minutes. It has been a long time since I worked in audio transmission, but I did tests of audio quality and therefore on my 5-point scale that I always used, this audio was unsatisfactory. Most of the telephone network that you use is good and/or satisfactory, but today set a new low point. Your audio control room needs to pay better attention.

Is there a limited amount of insulin produced over a lifetime? Do the islets of langerhans eventually "die" if insulin is over-produced?
