Diabetics can Smoke for Longer
Diabetics can Smoke Longer
Diabetics taking metformin might now smoke a little bit easier knowing it will take longer for them to develop lung cancer.
According to Dr Phillip Dennis and his team of the National Cancer Institute of Health, metformin prevented lung tumor growth in mice
Their studies has shown the following in the mice that has been exposed to a potent cancer-causing agent in tobacco called; Nicotine – Derived Nitrosamine Ketone (NNK)
- Metformin prevented smoking-induced lung tumor growth
- When metformin was orally dispended they had 40-50% fewer tumors
- When injected they has 72% fewer tumors
Dr. Dennis of the National Cancer Institute also says; “Although smoking cessation is the most important step for current smokers, over half of lung cancer cases are diagnosed in former smokers, raising the importance of identifying those at highest risk and identifying effective preventive treatments,”
When taking Medformin the following happens;-
- mTor – gets blocked by a enzyme, that is switch on by Metformin. (mTOR is a protein that helps tobacco-induced lung tumor grow.)
- other studies also suggests that medformin might reduce the risk of pancreas and breast cancer.
Dr. Michael Pollak of McGill University in Montreal says. “This important laboratory study, together with prior laboratory and epidemiology research, suggests that metformin may be useful in cancer prevention and treatment,” Read more…
With this new found knowledge I might even be tempted to start smoking again… Sorry guys! – not going to happen.
Happy Puffing
Ps; Just incase you don’t want to be part of the 5 million people from World Health Organizations statistics that die (preventable deaths) from tobacco related diseases. Click here!!!
PS2: To some it might seem that I am a bit cynical even light hart-ed about cancer but losing both parents and one of my best friends to Cancer words cannot describe. Been a ex-smoker I know the joy of a good smoke but the end results is just not worth it..+++
