Vitamin K2 for diabetes?

k2This super vitamin can send insulin levels plummeting, says Dr. John Whitcomb in an expert review of K2’s amazing promise on YouTube.

“This picture has opened up and we are just learning,” he says of the vitamin  critical to health but deficient almost universally.

Notably for diabetics, Whitcomb says if you take “young men and put them on K2 in a metabolic ward you can show that their production of insulin drops in half.”

He elaborates: “The lower your level of insulin, the less your fat cells are motivated to take up fat as calories. So you want a low level of insulin — you want to be producing less insulin.”

The longtime medical expert says K2 dropped his father’s blood sugar from 190 to 110-120 in three months.

Kidney stones from almonds?

A New York cardiologist wondered why he got a painful kidney stone, and the only risk factor he could find “was that I ate a lot of almonds,” he says on The Leftist Review. After further investigation, he asks if an almond industry group seems to recommend  limited daily consumption because this touted-as-healthy snack food — and ingredient in many other foods — might “even be causing thousands of us to form kidney stones and perhaps even worse, kidney failure?”
