World's largest low-carb type 1 diabetes study set to start
The world's largest study of how a low carbohydrate diet can impact and help control type 1 diabetes is set to start this
autumn.
The Dietary Science Foundation in Sweden, which funds scientific studies focused on diet and how it can affect health,
has been raising funds to carry out the work.
A number of studies have already shown low carb diets to have a lot of potential towards improving type 1 diabetes
health. Last week, research into low carb and type 1 diabetes made the headlines as it showed that a group of mainly
children and young adults were able to achieve excellent control on a very low carb diet.
A larger study could more emphatically demonstrate the benefits of eating low carb on the management of type 1 diabetes.
According to the organization, of the 50,000 people in Sweden who have type 1 diabetes, only 25% manage to control
their blood sugars at the recommended level with standard care. This leaves a lot of room for improvement and the low
carb lifestyle shows significant promise for helping people improve their control.

Measles epidemics sweeping Europe as infections triple, EU diseases agency warns
Major outbreaks in Romania, Italy, Greece and Germany have taken root in areas with low vaccine uptake and have
spread to UK.
Cases of life-threatening measles tripled in Europe last year because of a continent-wide outbreak that has even
reached the UK, an EU body has warned.
Data for 2017, released last month by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, shows there were
14,451 cases reported across 30 countries in 2017, compared to 4,600 in the previous 12 months.
Since the beginning of 2016 there have been 50 deaths due to the disease reported in the EU.
In the UK, more than 100 measles cases have been confirmed in six different regions.
Experts say these were brought in by visitors from regions with measles epidemics, primarily Greece (where there were
1,463 cases), Romania (10,623), Italy (4,991) and Germany (926).
New infections continue to mount and spread despite the disease being entirely preventable with vaccines.

❑ TEXTO 3:
How disgraced anti-vaxxer Andrew Wakefield was embraced by Trump's America
Twenty years after his discredited paper linked autism to the MMR jab, the doctor – who was struck off the medical
register in the UK – has become a leading light in the US and frighteningly influential worldwide.
There cannot be many doctors as thoroughly discredited and ostracized as Andrew Wakefield has been in the UK who
are subsequently seen smiling at the inauguration ball of a US president and later discovered to be dating the Australian
model Elle Macpherson.
But there he is. Wakefield was all but drummed out of Britain. The gastroenterologist lost his job, had his scientific paper
linking the MMR vaccine and autism retracted by medical journal the Lancet and, in 2010, was struck off the medical
register. He disappeared to the US and it was assumed he had gone to ground, having lost all credibility. He was a
spent force, even though his name was often in the air as the anti-MMR views he seeded around the world led to many
parents shunning the vaccine and outbreaks of measles wherever anyone had heard Wakefield’s creed.

❑ TEXTO 4:
Rare STI could turn into superbug, doctors warn
Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) has similar symptoms to chlamydia but is more resistant to treatment and can lead to
pelvic inflammatory disease in women and, ultimately, infertility.
MG, first identified in the 1980s, often has no symptoms but in women it can cause a burning sensation when urinating
and pain or bleeding during and after sex. In men symptoms include watery discharge from the penis.
Around one to two per cent of men and women are thought to be infected with the disease, although rates in some STD
clinics are as high as 38 per cent.
The British Association of Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) has launched new guidelines for the treatment and diagnosis of the disease, which recommend a specific diagnostic test: a nucleic acid amplification test.
The guidelines recommend that MG is treated with a seven-day course of the antibiotic doxycycline, followed by a
course of azithromycin. But the disease is often misdiagnosed as chlamydia and treated as such - treatment is similar
but the dosage and duration of treatment are different.

❑ TEXTO 5:
Is vitamin D really a cure-all – and how should we get our fix?
Evidence is growing that the ‘sunshine vitamin’ helps protect against a wide range of conditions including cancers.
Vitamin D is having quite a moment. In the past few months, evidence has been growing that the “sunshine vitamin” not
only has an important role in bone and muscle health, but might also help prevent a range of cancers, reduce the
chance of developing rheumatoid arthritis, protect against multiple sclerosis and cut the risk of colds and flu.
Vitamin D is not one chemical, but a label that covers a group of substances, including vitamin D2 and D3. The latter is
the form made when sunlight hits your skin and is also found in other animals. Non-animal sources such as fungi and
yeasts primarily produce the D2 form. Once in the body, these substances are converted into biologically active steroids
that circulate in the blood.
Martin Hewison, professor of molecular endocrinology at the University of Birmingham, who carried out the recent study
into vitamin D and rheumatoid arthritis, said evidence from cell studies backs up the idea that the vitamin is important.
“In most of the models, vitamin D appears to have quite a positive effect,” he said. “If you are using cancer cell lines or
cancer cells, vitamin D has anti-cancer effects, and likewise in cells that have been used for models for infection and
immune disorders, vitamin D has quite clear antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.” But when it comes to studies in
humans, the picture is far from clear-cut.

Ebola Explained
Ebola is a highly infectious virus that attacks the internal organs. Symptoms include fever, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting
and bleeding. The disease is spread through contact with bodily fluids of infected animals and humans. Fruit bats are
considered the natural host of the virus. Ebola first appeared in the DRC and Sudan in 1976. Outbreaks occur mainly in
rural areas in Central and West Africa in the tropical rainforests. The current outbreak is the deadliest and the most
widespread. It started in Guinea in March this year and has spread to Sierra Leone and Liberia. More than 930 people
have been killed by the deadly virus and that number continues to rise. The fatality rate is as high as 90 percent and
there is currently no known cure.
