Berberine safety
The evidence that Berberine is affective in lowering glucose, as well as cholesterol seems to be high. However, there seems to also be a lot of information that it might not be safe if taken long term. Do you know about any good scientific evidence regarding effective dose and long term safety?
insulin resistance as a response to rapid cell growth
Hello Dr. Attia - thank you so much for being a portal for information for me. I appreciate you very much! I have a question - has anyone studied insulin resistance as a response to rapid cell growth? Here's the thinking behind it - because insulin is a growth hormone, would a body's resistance serve to slow rapid cell growth (before it became cancerous). Also, research seems to indicate that people with Type 2 are more prone to cancer. Could that be because the rapid cell growth that leads to cancer had already started prior to the diabetes diagnosis? I am not a medical professional. Just a curious Type 2 (diagnosed Dec 2019). Thank you for your time!
Unfiltered Coffee
Does drinking unfiltered coffee adversely effect heart health (I've been using a french press and moka pot for 15+ years)? My mother's instance that it does after having seen the story on the Today show, is taking pleasure away from my morning coffee routine. I'm really hoping for some good news here...
