New Approaches to Fighting Type 1 Diabetes is our topic on this weeks show. Alberto Hayek, M.D. is the Scientific Director at San Diego’s Scripps Whittier Institute for Diabetes and Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics at UCSD.
One of every hundred Americans has type 1 diabetes (T1D). Dr. Alberto Hayek talks with Mark about the millions of children and adults who struggle with this autoimmune disease. Once called Juvenile Diabetes, the condition can also appear in older adults. Yet, funding has decreased for research to prevent, cure, and better manage the disease. Of the funding available, 97% goes to established scientists. Early-career scientists are often the source of radical new ideas but have difficulty-finding money to support them, forcing many to leave the field of diabetes research. Dr. Alberto Hayek and Mark discuss funding for new approaches to fighting the disease.

Kari Hamerschlag, Senior Program Manager of the Food and Technology Program at Friends of the Earth joins us to talk about top fast food chains using meat with antibiotics. Kari unveils a scary new report on Late Night Health about How Top Restaurants Rate on Reducing Use of Antibiotics in Their Meat Supply. Mark Alyn and Kari discuss several high profile campaigns urging Subway, the world’s largest restaurant chain, to adopt a clear policy restricting the routine use of antibiotics in its supply chain.

“From bacon cheeseburgers to chicken nuggets, most meat served by America's chain restaurants comes from animals raised in industrial-scale facilities, where they are routinely fed antibiotics to prevent disease that is easily spread in crowded, unsanitary, stressful conditions. The surprising news is McDonald’s has been given a passing grade!

McDonald's got a C, which is passing, because last year they adopted a new policy with their chicken. They made a commitment to stop sourcing chickens with antibiotics by 2016. Their policy only applies to their chicken not the other meat therefore they got a C. They also made a commitment and have not verified that is a 100% change.

There are several restaurant chains who are not being transparent about the meat that they source and you cannot find any information online. These are: Olive Garden, Papa John's, Applebees, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken, etc... These type of restaurants got and F on their score card.

Only 5 companies have really solid policies on the books and are being transparent with their customers about what they are doing.

Chipotle was the top restaurant who got an "A" - 100% of the meat the source are without antibiotics.

Traditional vs an holistic approach to breast cancer. Christine Horner, M.D. is a leading expert in breast cancer. As a surgeon and reconstructive plastic surgeon, Dr Honer has a unique approach between balancing holistic and traditional medicine with breast cancer. We'll talk about genes and the BRAC 1 breast cancer gene. You can lower your risk of developing breast cancer if you have the BRAC 1 gene just by what you eat. Every cell in your body has an entire dna map, in your whole genome certain genes are turned off and turned on. Eating an unhealthy diet and processed sugary foods you can actually turn on the bad genes.

Sugar for instance causes inflammation in the body and knocks out your immune system for about 5 hours after you consume it. Dr Horner talks about how your diet is so important to your health and risk of developing cancer.
