Diabetes deaths to rise 25pc as obesity soars


October 5th, 2008 by Eunice Chow

The number of deaths from diabetes will soar by 25 per cent in the next decade thanks to Britain’s escalating weight problem, a World Health Organization report will reveal this week.

The extensive study says that 76 per cent of British men over the age of 30 and 69 per cent of women in the same age group, are overweight. This compares to 65 per cent of men and 55 per cent of women in 1995.

It is predicted that the number of overweight people will increase in the next 10 years, fuelling the rise in diabetes which by 2015 will be killing 8,000 people per year more than it does now. There will also be a surge in other chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

Dr JoAnne Epping-Jordan, of the WHO’s department of chronic diseases and health promotion, said the estimates were ‘conservative’. ‘The rates of overweight people are rising quite quickly. We are measuring the numbers of people overweight because that is a major risk factor for diabetes and other chronic diseases. We want to highlight that one does not have to be obese - the risks start rising at a Body Mass Index (BMI) as low as 21,’ she said.

BMI is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in metres squared. The normal range is 18.5 to 24.9, and you are obese if it is over 30. Epping-Jordan pointed to studies from the US that show a woman who is only just overweight has eight times the risk of developing diabetes of someone at an ideal weight. For men the risk is just over double.

Charities in Britain last night urged the government to take notice. ‘These figures confirm our worst fears,’ said Simon O’Neill, director of care and policy at Diabetes UK. ‘We know that Type 2 diabetes is linked to being overweight, so people must be educated to eat a healthy diet and take up regular physical activity or the numbers will continue to rise at an alarming rate.’

The charities Diabetes UK and the British Heart Foundation estimate that 33,000 people die each year as a result of diabetes. The disease raises the chance of developing serious health problems, including heart disease, strokes, high blood pressure, circulation problems and nerve, kidney and eye damage. If the WHO’s predictions are realized the number of deaths will rise to more than 41,000 in 2015.

Neville Rigby, director of policy and public affairs at the International Obesity Task Force, said: ‘The biggest proportion of the population affected [by chronic diseases] are in the overweight category. This is the tip of the iceberg.’

He added that BMI is not enough on its own to highlight a risk. A normal BMI but a large waist circumference could be just as dangerous, he said. The ‘apple shape’, he added ‘indicates densely packed visceral fat‘.

Milk Drug’s Problem Q&A


September 27th, 2008 by Eunice Chow

三聚氰胺俗稱「蛋白精」氮的含量很高 66% ( 0 蛋白質 ),是一種無色、無味的化工原料,適用於工業,通常使用在製造美耐皿餐具、建材、塗料的工業用品。不肖商人為造成奶粉中含有較高 ” 氮 ” 成分( 企圖利用高氮製造高蛋白的假象 ),摻雜入擁有 ” 高氮 ” 的三聚氰胺圖利。

三聚氰胺,不為人體吸收,容易在腎臟累積,形成化石,量大腎臟將遭破壞,造成腎衰竭,小朋友年紀小,腎功能不好喝牛奶量多,更容易造成傷害。

【記者劉惠敏、張耀懋/整理】

Q:毒奶粉吃下肚一定會出問題嗎?如果吃了毒奶粉該怎麼辦?

A:吃到含三聚氰胺的奶粉或相關製品,不會立即出現結石等嚴重後遺症,健康人腎臟都能自然代謝去除毒物。若真吃到毒奶粉,最好的方法還是多喝水,讓 1 天排尿量達 2000 cc,約 1 天上廁所 7 次,每次排 300 cc,就可避免結石。

體重 60 公斤的人,需天天吃純 7.8 克的三聚氰胺,聚積性的吃上 4 周才可能致結石。若以奶粉 1 % 是三聚氰胺計,每天要食用 780 克的毒奶粉,連續 4 周,才會導致結石。

以此次大陸當局公布檢驗出三鹿奶粉每公斤含 2563 毫克三聚氰胺計,60 公斤體重者需每天食用 3 公斤奶粉,連續 4 周才會致結石。或喝下 200 公斤奶茶,連續 4 周,才會致結石。

大陸嬰孩以奶粉為主食,腎臟發育還不成熟,5 公斤重的嬰孩,每天喝 250 公克,連續喝 6、7 百公克,連續 4 周就致死了。此外,腎臟病患需更注意。反而是孕婦的腎臟功能比一般人還好,代謝功能也更佳。

Q:那些食物含有乳品成份?

A:以乳品為主要原料加工製成的奶製品含奶量最高,包括牛乳、調味乳、冰淇淋、優酪乳。其次以奶製品添加物的食品與飲料,包括糕餅、奶茶等。一般而言,糕餅裡的奶粉添加量最多不超過 3 %,咖啡、奶茶則是 1.5 %。

另外,目前部分農戶為提高農作物及肉品品質,也會在飼料、肥料或澆水中加入奶粉,透過農作物及動物本身吸收、消化後,含量更低。

Q:如何辨別有沒有毒奶粉?

A:購買食品時,應先察看標示,確認食品來源、成分,如果沒有標示或不清,最好先查證或諮詢店家。
