Split "Supplements for Diabetes" into Two Pages
Page Changed: Supplements for Diabetes. Renamed: Bad or Questionable Supplements
Page Added: Supplements that Work
I split the original supplement page into two, to make it easier to find the few supplements whose efficacy is supported by peer reviewed research and reports of reliable people with diabetes.

Incidence of Diabetes Correlates Strongly with PCB and Pesticide Concentration in Blood Serum
Page Changed "You Did Not Eat Your Way to Diabetes"
Added reference to study of Mohawks in NY State showing four fold heightening of diabetes incidence with high serum levels of PCBs or Pesticides. Thanks to Prairie Mary for flagging this extremely important study which has huge implications for all of us. PCBs and pesticide residues are found in the blood streams of people of all ethnic heritages and are probably a major reason behind the so-called "diabetes epidemic".

Zetia/Vytorin Increases Plaque as it Lowers Cholesterol
Page changed: Dangerous Drugs for People with Diabetes
Added today's NYTimes report of the results of the long-suppressed Vytorin trial that showed that while the drug lowered cholesterol, it also increased the speed with which plaque clogged arteries.
This is another nail in the coffin of the idea that lowering LDL cholesterol prevents heart disease.
Now that we know that it promotes heart disease, no person with diabetes should be taking this drug!
And now we know even more the lengths to which drug companies will go to suppress data showing that their drugs harm people. Merck and Schering-Plough, makers of this dangerous drug, have been sitting on this data for at least six months while they kept promoting Vytorin--a big moneymaker--knowing all the time that it harms people.
