DIABETES

You Got Diabetes?

A recent study, as usual unreported in the media, indicates that estrogen may be beneficial in the treatment of insulin-dependant diabetes.

Drs. Angel Nadel & colleagues **have found that animals treated with estrogen do not get diabetes. What’s a benign way to try this? Upon consultation with your doctor, you might try eating foods that contain plant estrogens, which are a less potent form than estrogens in drugs.

All beans contain phyto(plant) estrogens, though they are especially plentiful in soybeans. One way to get their beneficial effect would be to eat Harvest Burger or Boca Burger soy-based burgers, while another would be to take phytogestrogen tablets--ask for Soy Isoflavones at health food stores or from vitamin mail order houses. See "How To Buy Vitamins" in this issue for a list of these.

**In October 1998’s FASEB Journal, page 1341, Dr. Nedal’s group is at the Institute of Bioengineering and the Department of Physiology, Miguel Hernandez University, Alicante, Spain.
