Weight and diabetes: Weight gain (especially around the waist) causes Insulin resistance which significantly increases risk of type 2 diabetes.

Question 5

how much real risk of lead poisoning is there from drinking from lead crystal glass?

Accepted Answer

Miniscule: Pouring liquid into a 38% lead glass, and drinking from it over the next several minutes to hours is not going to affect you at all. Exposure risk is increased if you place slightly acidic materials in lead decanters or bottles: acids result in leaching out the lead from the container. Again -- this is a slow process over months -- not days.

Question 6

does too much sugar actually lead to diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Sugar Problems: Continuing deterioration of health to the point of loss of body functions.  I know a man that was so bad (could not even walk), the doctors told him he had 3 months to live.  On his own, he decided to give up soft drinks.  That was 7 years ago and now he is healthy with no walking problems.

Question 7

Se your primary care provider and get to the bottom of your pain. Hopefully it is an easy fix! could be gallbladder, appendix, pancreas, or ulcers just to name a few!

Question 8

is lead safe ?

Accepted Answer

Not if inside us...: Lead is naturally occurring on earth. Outside of our bodies, lead is not a problem. If we eat or drink too much of it, it becomes a toxic contaminant inside our bodies. Lead is everywhere in our industrialized world, which means one shouldn't worry too much about it, but be sure our families are not eating or drinking things containing lead, nor using lead-contaminated containers or toys.

Question 9

does smoking lead to nec?

Accepted Answer

??: Smoking causes iugr. Iugr indirectly may be associated with GI issues.

Question 10

how can stasis lead to edema?

Accepted Answer

Venous return: Veins in the leg use the surrounding muscles, in addition to valves in the vessels themselves, to aid in returning blood to the heart.  When a person has dysfunctional valves and lives a sedentary lifestyle, the muscles are not actively contracting and the veins lose that assistance which can lead venous insufficiency and edema of the legs.
