Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
are facing an epidemic in regard to the development of diabetes in the US. While Type 1 diabetes is more determined by our genetics than environmental factors such as
diet, Type 2 diabetes is directly linked with over eating and obesity. This relationship, in part, defines what researchers call Syndrome X or metabolic syndrome. By making better
choices in our diet we can greatly reduce our chances of developing Type 2 diabetes, a potentially life-threatening condition. DIABETES IS ONE OF THE GREATER THREATS FACING AMERICAN SOCIETY. UNFORTUNATELY,
TYPE 1 DIABETES IS SOMETHING THAT IS LINKED TO OUR GENETICS AND REDUCING OUR PROPENSITY TO DEVELOP IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. TYPE 2 DIABETES, HOWEVER, IS ASSOCIATED WITH CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL
FACTORS AND MANY TIMES THESE FACTORS CAN BE CHANGED TO REDUCE OUR PROPENSITY FOR DEVELOPING THIS TYPE OF DIABETES. NEVER-THE-LESS, THERE APPEARS TO BE A GROWING EPIDEMIC OF TYPE
2 DIABETES (NON-INSULIN DEPENDENT DIABETES). THIS GROWTH HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH AN INCREASE IN OBESITY AMONG AMERICANS. THE SO-CALLED SYNDROME X (A SYNDROME ALSO REFERRED TO AS METABOLIC
SYNDROME) IS DEFINED, IN PART, BY THE THE RELATIONSHIP THAT EXISTS BETWEEN BODY WEIGHT AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF TYPE 2 DIABETES. AN ESTIMATED TWENTY MILLION PEOPLE IN THE US ALONE
SUFFERED FROM DIABETES IN 2005 (DESHPANDE, HARRIS-HAYES, AND SCHOOTMAN, 2005). AS THOUGH THAT WERENT CONCERNING ENOUGH, ALMOST ONE-THIRD OF THE DIABETICS IN THE US TODAY HAVE NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED
AS DIABETICS (DESHPANDE, HARRIS-HAYES, AND SCHOOTMAN, 2005). DIABETES IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS CONDITION AND ONE WITH POTENTIALLY ASTRONOMICAL CONSEQUENCES. DIABETES IS CHARACTERIZED NOT JUST BY PHYSICAL IMPACTS BUT
ALSO BY MENTAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS. GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF DIABETIC COMPLICATIONS, FAILURE TO FULLY APPRECIATE THE LINK THAT EXISTS BETWEEN OBESITY AND DIABETES IS POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC.
