Sea cucumbers: The marine delicacy that could deter diabetes

They're a marine delicacy loved across Asia, but the humble sea cucumber is also proving to be a key ingredient in preventing diabetes, according to new research.

Exploring the medicinal properties of sea cucumbers (Holothuria scabra), researchers found that processed dried sea cucumber with salt extracts can inhibit a compound that is associated with increased risk of diabetes, thereby reducing the likelihood of the disease.

To date, there is no commercially available therapeutic agent to inhibit the formation of this compound, called Advanced Glycation End product (AGE).

AGEs form when proteins and/or fats combine with sugars in the bloodstream. When accumulated in high levels, they increase diabetic complications, including heart disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, kidney disease, and cancer.

Dr. Permal Deo says understanding how the bioactive compounds in sea cucumbers can inhibit AGEs could protect against these diseases.

We know that an accumulation of AGEs is associated with complications of type 2 diabetes, so strategies to prevent this may reduce the risk of developing diabetic complications," Dr. Deo says.

"Biologically active novel compounds in medicinal plants and foods are potential therapeutic agents to prevent diabetic complications.

"Sea cucumbers are known to have a range of therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, so we wanted to explore their bioactive compounds as AGE inhibitors.

"We found that processed dried sea cucumber with salt extracts and collagen can significantly inhibit AGEs by lowering a range of sugar related metabolites in the body and reducing the risk of diabetes."

Almost 60% of all cases of type 2 diabetes can be delayed or prevented with changes to diet and lifestyle.

"These results provide sound evidence that sea cucumbers could be developed as a functional food product to help battle the onset of diabetes and diabetic-complications."

Vegas water agency empowered to limit home water flows in future.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada has taken a dramatic, but not immediate, step toward limiting the amount of Colorado River water used in the most populous part of the nation’s most arid state, after lawmakers gave Las Vegas-area water managers the levers to limit flows to single-family homes.

First-of-Its-Kind Study Finds No COVID Vaccine Side Effects in Children 5 and Under, but Methodology Raises Concerns
Problem RaisedDr. Andrew Bostom, a cardiovascular research expert and retired professor of medicine at Brown University, and pediatrician Dr. Michelle Cretella questioned the study’s design. The study lacked a valid control group, they argue, which can undermine the findings.
Rather than comparing vaccinated children against the unvaccinated, in this study, children vaccinated one to 21 days before surveillance were compared to those vaccinated 22 to 42 days before, implying that vaccinated children became the control group after day 22. Bostom argued that by adopting this approach, the authors assumed that the risk of adverse events vanishes after day 22.
“It’s so arbitrary to say the risk magically disappears at day 22, ” he said. “That doesn’t make sense biologically or logically.”
Cretella added that without a true control group, researchers cannot make a true risk assessment.
