GO NUTS !
There’s growing awareness of the benefits of a plant based diet. It seems that every day we read another article talking about the health and longevity benefits. It’s no surprise then that nuts are growing in popularity as vegetarians turn to them as a protein source. Check out this recent article in VegNews for more information on the benefits of adding a variety of nuts and legumes to your diet: http://vegnews.com/articles/page.do?pageId=5052&catId=8

Knowledge is Power
One of the biggest positives at Marilu.com is the diversity of our membership and the respectful attitude our members take with one another. We have vastly differing views in some areas but our focus is always our common ground. In this age of anonymous interaction that respect isn’t always evident in on-line communities so we want to take a minute to brag on our members for making this a peaceful supportive community.
One thing we all agree on…no matter where you stand politically you need to TAKE a stand and learn all you can before you cast your vote.
Please take a minute to watch Marilu encourage people to get out there and vote. Learn where the candidates stand on the issues that matter to you.

What could you do with six extra years?
We found an interesting article in VegNews about the life expectancy of vegetarians. It doesn’t take much more than an observation of Marilu’s energy to know that the message she’s been preaching for years holds validity for all of us.
Check out this study: http://vegnews.com/articles/page.do?pageId=5051&catId=8
It backs up what we already know but not everyone has the knowledge. Share it with a friend!

Diabetes and Breast Cancer
No one wants to have their doctor tell them that they have fallen victim to either diabetes or breast cancer. Now it looks as though there is a link between these two. The good news here is that reducing your risk of developing diabetes may also reduce your risk for breast cancer. This is an excerpt from a recent post at the PCRM site:
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to learn about the best ways to fight this disease. Although tests and treatments for breast cancer should be discussed with medical professionals, preventative measures through diet and lifestyle may be the most important step women can take. Recently, a study was published showing the link between diabetes and breast cancer. It appears that having diabetes increases breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women. Researchers followed 52,657 women with diabetes and 30,210 women without diabetes and tracked who developed breast cancer and whether diabetes medication could alter their breast cancer risk. Postmenopausal women with diabetes had a 12 percent greater risk of developing breast cancer, compared with women without diabetes. Diabetes medications appeared to do nothing to lower breast cancer risk. A 2010 report from the American Cancer Society and the American Diabetes Association found that having diabetes more than doubled the risk of pancreatic, liver, and endometrial cancers and also increased the risk of breast, bladder, and colorectal cancer. It’s important for women to know these connections: Avoiding one disease such as diabetes can help prevent another. Redaniel MT, Jeffreys M, May MT, Ben-Shlomo Y, Martin RM. Associations of type 2 diabetes and diabetes treatment with breast cancer risk and mortality: a population-based cohort study among British women. [published online ahead of print Sept 13, 2012]. Cancer Causes Control. DOI: 10.1007/s10552-012-0057-0. Giovannucci E, Harlan DM, Archer MC, et al. Diabetes and Cancer: A Consensus Report. CA Cancer J Clin. 2010;33:1674-1685.
