(NaturalNews) As if walnuts weren't already a powerhouse of health benefits, we learn of another significant benefit from a recent study conducted by the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center. Published in the February issue of Diabetes Care, the study concluded that eating 2 ounces of walnuts, about 16 to 22 halves, every day as part of a normal diet may improve cardiovascular health in people with Type 2 diabetes.

Previous studies have demonstrated that walnuts promote heart health in healthy adults, but few of those studies have focused on diabetes.

"The research team found that endothelial function improved significantly when people consumed the walnut-enriched diet for 8 weeks, compared to when they followed their normal diets. We were very gratified by these findings," said Dr. David Katz, Yale University School of Medicine and principal investigator. "We all know the adage about 'an apple a day,' but in fact there are other foods that people should consider adding to their daily diets for specific health benefit. Walnuts rank high on that list."

Dr Katz goes on to say, "There are tens of millions of diabetics in the U.S. right now, and unfortunately, that number will rise rather steeply for the foreseeable future. Identifying simple, accessible, and even enjoyable lifestyle practices that can mitigate the potential harms of diabetes is of clear public health importance."

In another study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 55 participants with type 2 diabetes were put on low fat diets. The only group to achieve a cardioprotective fat profile was the one that ate walnuts every day.

Additional research has confirmed that when walnuts are eaten as part of a low-fat diet, the results show more heart protection for diabetic patients than can be achieved by simply lowering the fat content of the diet.

Weight gain and diabetes are a dangerous equation, so the extra 350 calories from two ounces of walnuts every day could have been problematic for the Yale study participants. However due to daily diet counseling and guidance the group did not gain weight, indicating that even for people for whom weight gain is a risk to their health, walnuts can be a part of a healthy diet.

(NaturalNews) Black raspberries have taken center stage in the last decade as a cure or deceleration of one of the deadliest and sixth most common cancers - oral cancer. Research in the last seven years reveals the remarkable effects of black raspberries. They surpass strawberries and blueberries by possessing chemical and antioxidant qualities as anti-tumor agents. They contain ellagic acid, a polyphenol with strong antioxidant activity. In addition, drying the berries into a powder concentrates the ellagic acid and, when used as five-ten percent of the diet, this powder restricts the initiation and progression of oral cancer.

Oral cancer refers to malignancies of the oral and nasal cavities, tongue, throat, and larynx. The malignancy or its treatment often affects the neck and face, not only altering the facial appearance, but also interfering with such vital functions as breathing, speech, and swallowing. Oral cancer in the U.S. strikes men 50-75 years of age who have a history of chronic acid reflux, tobacco and alcohol use. Presently, it is also increasingly occurring in women. Rats injected with cancer-causing agents and then fed a berry-rich diet had 80 percent fewer malignant tumors compared to rats on a berry-free diet. In 2002, a hamster model of oral cancer disclosed that dietary black raspberries could suppress tumor development in the oral cavity.

Moreover, if research continues to be as positive as it is currently, the black raspberry could play a major role in the eradication of not only oral cancer, but colon and skin cancer as well. Berries, in addition to a healthful regimen of colorful fruits, vegetables, and nuts, such as cranberries, red peppers, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, nectarines, avocados, spinach, red grapes, almonds, and pecans, are the latest approach to the cancer fight. This intensified treatment program of natural compounds is being universally recognized to reduce the cancer risk. Dr. Gary Stoner, lead researcher at Ohio State University, advocates this regimen.

Pioneering discoveries have occurred in the cultivation of black raspberries at the Hollings Cancer center Medical University of South Carolina, the University of Minnesota, and the University of Kentucky. However, the most extensive, complete and major accomplishments continue to occur at the Ohio State University. Progress is slow, but the series of laboratory and animal studies will help the progress toward the suppression of oral cancer development.
