And diabetes: what's involved?

Health)-researchers found that women exposed to phthalates substances with high concentrations typically have higher diabetes rate double compared to women who do not or very little exposure to the chemical.[links]Lurking in the perfume, lotion, wrapping paper and food both linen synthetic skin, contain chemicals called phthalates--chemicals used to add to the PVC in order to increase flexibility. Most of the American people are exposed to phthalates substances, the rate of women more exposure than men.

A recent study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives has to consider whether there is any relationship between phthalates and diabetes in women or not?

The scientists found that relationship, however, has not proven to be the chemical causes of diabetes.

The researchers found that women exposed to phthalates substances with high concentrations typically have higher diabetes rate double compared to women who do not or very little exposure to the chemical.

Results the study found, in 1000 cases of women exposed to phthalates substances can highly disease than women who do not, or at least exposure of 40 cases.

And diabetes: what's involved?

Can you say something about this relationship? One theory is that phthalates can bind to cells in the body, the blood sugar metabolism, or fat.

"Because these chemicals can cling to the perceived natural parts of the cell, they can change the normal function"-in the words of Dr. Tamarra James-Todd, epidemiology specialty hospitals , Brigham and women's Hospital in Boston.

One thing is clear that patients with diabetes often have high phthalate substance concentrations than usual, because they often use medical devices or drugs containing the chemical substances mentioned above. This study does not refute the above explanation.

The scientists also conducted a study on women who aren't diabetes to check the relationship announced on this. The results showed that those who do not target disease with exposure level road but high phthalate, often have very high blood sugar.

According to Dr. James-Todd "both elements can be the cause of diabetes."Future research can make to people not diabetes, measures phthalates to know whether there is any relationship between this chemical with the long-term diseases.

Dr. James-Todd said any of a perfume can contain this chemical, although the cosmetic companies are not required to publish is whether or not the chemical phthalates in their products.

As more and more products are labeled "do not contain phthalates", however, while part of them can contain the whole of this chemical.

She said: "it is the consumers we can hardly do anything. Hope the above research results could hint for the new research ".=
