I went with my Mother at Kaiser Hospital I was reading WebMD. It was a short article and I didn't bother to look at the issue date. The article said that pears are good to eat to prevent diabetes 2. Before I knew it my Mother was ready to be wheeled out to go home. I just looked it up on the internet and found this wonderful article about apples and pears together to prevent diabetes 2 and cancer, better yet! My Mother loves apples, so she'll eat both apples and pears together too with me to keep healthy. I'm so happy my Mother can't wait to start eating apples and pears, especially the red ones with apples! I had to share it with all of you! You're welcome in advance!

I hope this thread is true to its claim about apples and pears as preventing diabetes. There is a prevalence of diabetes in both my husband's and my family such that we are now conscious of diabetes. My sister's oldest daughter is a juvenile diabetic. She is now 25 and has been doing well with her diabetes for 10 years now. My mother who has been hit by a stroke and is now in a vegetable state has been recently diagnosed with diabetes. I'm glad that my husband's blood chemistry a few months ago gave him a clean bill of health against diabetes and so is my own blood chemistry last month. We are willing to eat one apple a day just to drive away diabetes. oh, I forgot the pear, okay, let's include that in my marketing list.
Think I posted this before. Diabetes 101 Diabetes is the number three killer and of all diabetes 95% are type two diabetics. The other 5% are caused by mal nutrition of the mother when the child is in the womb. The mother did not have the nutrition to form the pancreas totally. Type two diabetes is a problem in the cells being that the cells do not recognized the insulin: insulin is a signaling hormone made by the pancreas. When insulin comes in contact with the cell the cell is triggered to take in sugar. When you take in sugar the pancreas is trigged to make insulin and then the insulin reaches the cells they consume the sugar. Type two diabetic make more insulin than a non diabetic as high as ten times more insulin. The reason that the insulin is not working is the cells do not recognise it. Even if you use drugs to keep you sugar down in your body the insulin can destroy cells and this is seen in sores that will not heal loss of circulation in the feet, hands, and eyes, causing amputation and blindness. Be careful thinking that having your sugar under control with drugs is safe. What is needed for the cells to recognise insulin? In 1957 mineral chromium had an important part in this function. The facts associated with chromium and diabetes were published in the Federation Proceeding by Walter Mertz [the director of the U.S.D.A, field services] over 50 years ago they knew the cause and cure. He showed that when an animal was chromium deficient they become diabetic and when the chromium is returned the diabetes disappeared. If this was known why did they not follow up on it? The simple answer is greed if your doctor cured you he has loss a patient and there is no law that tells him he has to cure you when there is a cure available. Dr. Schwarz reportedly noted at that time in 1959 “Type II diabetes is not a disease. It is the lack of a natural ingredient, known as GTF Chromium. Additionally, in 1985, the medical school at the University of Vancouver, BC, Canada stated that the mineral vanadium will replace insulin for adult onset diabetics. People have tried just using these minerals and had poor response because minerals, vitamins, and amino acids do not work separately is a dance minerals need other minerals to work and some minerals will prevent the ability of minerals to work. Dr. Joel Wallach recommends 90 different nutriments and then extra of chromium and vanadium he has been very successful in reversing type two diabetes and helping type one diabetics. He claims that he could make a city / country diabetes free in very little time Chromium here is some FACTS mean CR [chromium] Blood levels [u/l] 28-1000-------------1948 13--------------------1971 10 -------------------1972 0 0 4.7-5.1 -------------1973 .73 -1.6 ----------1974 0.16 ----------------1978 0.43 ----------------1980 0.13 ----------------1985 and even going lower it is easy to see as the amount of chromium decreases the amount of type two diabetes increase The knowledge we have now no one should suffer from diabetes.
Being a diabetic, has made me very fruit aware. Only the green pear and the granny smith apples are preventative. Not all fruit is equal.
