1102. Pancreas Chronicles: Exploring the Vitamin A Factor

The pancreas is a very important organ as it produces the hormone insulin that's used to regulate our blood sugar. Dr. Martin often speaks of it and in today's episode he looks at two important studies on the pancreas. The first one on vitamin A reveals how important this vitamin is, especially on the cellular level. Vitamin A is our invisible mask that protects us from bacteria and viruses. When our pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin, it puts us on the road to diabetes. The second study looks at the role high fructose corn syrup plays in damaging the pancreas. Join Dr. Martin as he teaches on the pancreas and why it's imperative that we eliminate sugar from our diets.
