The Diet and Cancer Connection
Written by Dr. Colin Champ
Maimonides, the famous astronomer, philosopher, scholar, and physician, remarked about the importance of diet in medicine nearly 900 years ago. As rates of diabetes, obesity, and cancer continue to rise, it would appear that his insightful message has fallen on deaf ears.

carbohydrate diet has a favourable impact on low-grade inflammation in type 2 diabetes compared with advice to follow a low-fat diet

Background.
Infl ammation may play an important role in type 2 diabetes. It has been proposed that dietary strategies can modulate infl ammatory activity. Methods. We investigated the eff ects of diet on infl ammation in type 2 diabetes by comparing a traditional low-fat diet (LFD) with a low-carbohydrate diet (LCD). Patients with type 2 diabetes were randomized to follow either LFD aiming for 55 – 60 energy per cent (E%) from carbohydrates ( n 30) or LCD aiming for 20 E% from carbohydrates ( n 29). Plasma was collected at baseline and after 6 months. C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), IL-6, tumour necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) 1 and TNFR2 were determined.Results.
Both LFD and LCD led to similar reductions in body weight, while benefi cial eff ects on glycaemic control were observed in the LCD group only. After 6 months, the levels of IL-1Ra and IL-6 weresignifi cantly lower in the LCD group than in the LFD group, 978 (664 – 1385) versus 1216 (974 – 1822) pg/mL and 2.15 (1.65 – 4.27) versus 3.39 (2.25 – 4.79) pg/mL, both P 0.05.
Conclusions.
To conclude, advice to follow LCD or LFD had similar eff ects on weight reduction while eff ects on infl ammation diff ered. Only LCD was found signifi cantly to improve thesubclinical infl ammatory state in type 2 diabetes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key messages
• In type 2 diabetes, randomization to advice to follow a low-carbohydrate diet or a low-fat diet hadsimilar eff ects on weight reduction, while eff ects on infl ammation diff ered.
• Aft er 6 months, the low-carbohydrate diet, but not the low-fat diet, had a favourable impact on low-grade infl ammation in type 2 diabetes.

Anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin, a major constituent ofCurcumalonga: a review of preclinical and clinical research
Abstract
Curcuma longa (turmeric) has a long history of use in Ayurvedic medicine as a treatment for inflammatory conditions. Turmeric constituents include the three curcuminoids: curcumin (diferuloylmethane; the primary constituent and the one responsible for its vibrant yellow color), demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin, as well as volatile oils (tumerone, atlantone, and zingiberone), sugars, proteins, and resins. While numerous pharmacological activities, including antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, have been attributed to curcumin, this article focuses on curcumin's anti-inflammatory properties and its use for inflammatory conditions. Curcumin's effect on cancer (from an anti-inflammatory perspective) will also be discussed; however, an exhaustive review of its many anticancer mechanisms is outside the scope of this article. Research has shown curcumin to be a highly pleiotropic molecule capable of interacting with numerous molecular targets involved in inflammation. Based on early cell culture and animal research, clinical trials indicate curcumin may have potential as a therapeutic agent in diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, arthritis, and chronic anterior uveitis, as well as certain types of cancer. Because of curcumin's rapid plasma clearance and conjugation, its therapeutic usefulness has been somewhat limited, leading researchers to investigate the benefits of complexing curcumin with other substances to increase systemic bioavailability. Numerous in-progress clinical trials should provide an even deeper understanding of the mechanisms and therapeutic potential of curcumin.
