The Collaborative on Health and the Environment Alaska Working Group is hosting a call:
The Role of Environmental Chemicals in the Development of Diabetes and Obesity

DATE: Wednesday, December 14, 2011,
9:00 am Alaska Time/ 10:00 am Pacific/ 1:00 pm Eastern

RSVP: To join this free call and receive the dial-up instructions, please RSVP to Alaska Community Action on Toxics at diana@akaction.org. 

Emerging scientific studies suggest environmental chemicals may be contributing factors to the epidemics of diabetes and obesity. Can a fetus’ exposure to toxic chemicals in the womb cause obesity or diabetes at age 5, 15, or 25? Is part of the obesity epidemic in the U.S. linked to chemical exposures that occur in childhood? A growing number of researchers are exploring how chemicals used in plastics, food packaging, pesticides and cosmetics can corrupt normal function of metabolic hormones and trigger dramatic increases in body fat. Guest speakers Bruce Blumberg, PhD and David O. Carpenter, M.D. will discuss the cutting-edge science linking chemical exposures to the growing epidemics of diabetes and obesity.

Diabetes and Obesity: Evaluating the Science on Chemical Contributors

The Collaborative on Health and Environment, an international partnership working to share scientific research information on the impact of environmental factors on human health, is hosting an informational call on "Diabetes and Obesity: Evaluating the Science on Chemical Contributors" on Friday, April 15 (for more information, or to sign up (it's free!), see http://www.healthandenvironment.org/partnership_calls/8928).

Afterwards, the call will be available for download as an MP3 recording. This call will highlight current research efforts on diabetes and chemicals, identify research gaps, and summarize the findings of the U.S. National Toxicology Program's workshop on the role of environmental chemicals in the development of diabetes and obesity (http://cerhr.niehs.nih.gov/evals/diabetesobesity/index.html).

I'm type 2, but have collected a wide assortment of bookmarks related to other forms of diabetes as well.

The National Toxicology Program will publish their review of the evidence linking diabetes to environmental chemicals in the next few months. A Jan. '11 workshop included discussion of six types of chemicals: arsenic and other heavy metals; bisphenol A; organotins and phthalates; pesticides; persistent organic pollutants; and maternal smoking during pregnancy/nicotine. Participants evaluated evidence that exposure to these chemicals are associated with the development of diabetes or obesity. According to workshop Chair, Dr. Michael Gallo, "some of these associations are pretty strong … these data really show us that there is biological plausibility to some of these or all of these chemical groups."
We will be working to do more outreach to people with diabetes about these issues; any assistance is welcome!

The U.S. National Toxicology Program is holding a workshop on "The Role of Environmental Chemicals in the Development of Diabetes and Obesity." While it will focus on type 2 diabetes, type 1 will be included as well.
It is scheduled for Jan. 11-13, 2011, in Raleigh, North Carolina, and is open to the public. For more info:
