      Diabetes 'blocked by stem cells'

      Posted by Jeff from BBC News

      Bush wants to keep Americans out of the research for stem cell treatments: People with the condition are known as insulin-dependent, and require regular shots of the hormone. But 14 out of 15 young people newly diagnosed with the condition no longer needed injections - sometimes for years - following the stem cell treatment.

    Diabetes 'blocked by stem cells'

    I watched cspan last night with activists who want to change the Farm Bill (voted on every 5 years or so) from feeding our school children processed corn and soybeans to natural food. Think the figures they stated were 1 in 4 children have diabetes before before the graduate from highschool, and 1 in 2 of same group will have diabetes in a decade(?), nonetheless, stem cells discussions is irrelevant as our children aren’t getting diabetes from insulin difficiencies or lack of stem cell research…. again another ass-backwards thinking article promoted by big pharma to give us surgery and drugs to cure our symptoms. I’m feeling sick already, shoot me some stem cells.

    I’m not against stem cell research, just wish we could use more common sense in analyzing this health issue.
