...mother, Loeken said that a treatment blocking Glut2 is not viable. It is standard medical knowledge that glucose transporter Glut2 moves glucose from blood to cells, allowing faster absorption, according to a press release from the Joslin Diabetes Center. After birth, Glut2 is concentrated in the pancreas and liver, which use Glut2 to detect high levels of glucose in the blood. At high concentrations of blood glucose, Glut2 increases the velocity with which glucose is taken into the cell. Loeken found that Glut2 is expressed unexpectedly early in the embryonic development of mice, exposing the embryo to the abnormal amount...

Presented that way, taking statins sounds like less of a no-brainer--especially given that the drugs cost hundreds of dollars a year, side effects could include liver and muscle damage and you have to take twice-yearly blood tests just in case. Still, factored out over the entire U.S. population, even a 1-in-50 figure means many thousands of heart attacks are avoided every year...
...learned of this fall prisoner organ harvest through hidden camera footage taken by BBC correspondent Rupert Wingfield Hayes. In the video, Hayes strolls into one of the largest organ transplant centers in Northern China in order to procure a liver for his “ailing father.” Not particularly in the mood for subterfuge, Hayes asks the doctors if they received the organs from executed prisoners. The hospital officials cheerfully proclaim, “The prisoners on death row have done many bad things. Before they die they give their organs as a present to society...
