Diabetes increases lymphoma risk

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_72786.html

"More cases of blood cancers classified as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, or NHL, seem to occur among people with diabetes than those without, researchers report"

It's all about the immune system...our bodies are out of whack.

"The researchers point out that the incidence of NHL has increased since 1950. They think the immune changes associated with diabetes "may, at least in part, account for the increased risk of NHL that we found in this study."

I have been reading a lot about food and cancer (the increase of sugar in the average American diet since WWII has allowed the rise of obesity which in turn can lead to Cancer.) That is a very short version of what I have been reading but that is the gist of it. I will elaborate in a separate post.

I have long been convinced that my immune system was not up to par when cancer developed in my body. If it was the rogue cell that kept dividing would have been killed off before it ever wreaked havoc on the rest of me.

It's all about the immune system. We are compromising our natural defenses against disease and it is slowly killing us. Our food, our water and our environment have been tampered with and therefore as our immune system suffers...we suffer.
