不！糖尿病會增加新型冠狀病毒 (COVID-19) 感染風險？

在炎熱的五月， #新型冠狀病毒 (也稱為 #新冠肺炎、 #武漢肺炎、 #COVID19等) 依然肆虐著全球。雖然台灣已經暫時解除了社區感染的可能性與危機，不過還是必須保持警覺心，避免「 #九局下半，雖敗猶榮」的憾事發生。

今天就來探討一下糖尿病與新型冠狀病毒的關係。 #中央流行疫情指揮中心 張上淳就
曾提出警告，「#肥胖」是感染武漢肺炎和導致重症的高風險因素之一。(TVBS, 2020) 英國也發現60%以上重症病患都有肥胖問題。 (The Economist, 2020) 不僅肥胖，若有高血壓與糖尿病的話，比起其他人更容易導致嚴重病情。在中國武漢就有發現糖尿病的病毒患者肺部與一般患者肺部相比，其病理癥狀更加嚴重與明顯。(如下圖, Guo et al., 2020)

至於糖尿病與高血壓患者為何更容易受感染，其中「可能」原因是因為糖尿病與高血壓藥物會增加ACE2這個細胞表面的受器。而冠狀病毒正好是藉由細胞表面的ACE2與細胞結合並感染人體。(Fang, Karakiulakis and Rotha, 2020) 但科學家也說千萬別因此貿然停藥，否則會導致更嚴重的後果。

既然如此，糖尿病患到底該如何避免感染呢？除了一般的勤洗手、減少外出外，醫師們也提供以下方法供糖尿病患參考： (Gupta et al.,2020)
1. 更加注意血糖值，保持穩定正常血糖值以減少風險。若有有合併心臟病與胰臟病的患者須更加注意其變化。
2. 更加注重營養攝取，包含蛋白質、礦物質與維他命。
3. 在家多做可負荷之運動。
4. 施打流感與一般肺炎疫苗，避免感染新型冠狀病毒後可能產生的併發症。

無論如何，大家都應該更加注意個人衛生、避免接觸人群並遵守疾病管制局之規定與建議。讓我們一起共度疫情難關！

當然，需要注重營養攝取的糖尿病患者也可參考純天然藥草製作、在美國一片好評之 ERAD Plus Pre-D 與 #ERADER #易瑞得，希望大家頭好壯壯！相關資料請參考： https://www.lamarckbio.com/pages/diabetes

Scary! Schizophrenia patents could escape from any criminal trial?!

Recently in Taiwan, there is startling news a #Schizophrenia patient was prosecute a homicide and the judge acquitted him of all charges because of his #mentalillness. (UDN, 2020) In Japan, a criminal escaped from his death penalty due to Schizophrenia as well. (Asahi Shimbun ,2020) That makes citizens scared.

Schizophrenia is a mental illness with symptoms like delirium, hallucination and delusion. Their uncontrollable and weird behavior might make people feel threatened. However, is it true that all Schizophrenia patients are criminal and dangerous?

Israel scientists indicate Schizophrenia patients committed homicides are mostly alcoholic, having criminal record or new immigrants who are struggled to fit in a new society compared to other Schizophrenia patients. (Valevski et al., 1999) Is it familiar to you? Just delete the term “Schizophrenia”, and it could be “PEOPLE committed homicides are mostly alcoholic, having criminal record or new immigrants who are struggled to fit in a new society compared to other PEOPLE.” Turkish scientists also point out 85% of Schizophrenia criminals had not taken their medicine regularly and been severely paranoid. Additionally, most of them were from bottom of the society and having critical family or career issues. (Belli et al., 2010) There would be no difference if we change Schizophrenia into normal people in these terms.

In Australia, some scientists and psychiatrists discovered the area with more homicides also have more criminals with Schizophrenia. (Large, Smith, & Nielssen, 2009) This evidence reveals the environment and society might be a major reason of crime as well, instead of just personal. Taking German medical history as an example, the risk of homicide from Schizophrenia could dramatically decrease by establishing specialized long‐term care to persons with schizophrenia and the better mental health services for acutely psychotic person. (Erb et al, 2006)

Schizophrenia is just an illness, similar to dementia and cancer, which needs to be treated carefully. It is not a crime. It is also not an excuse for lawyer or propaganda of politics. It is definitely not “there is nothing we can do.” Schizophrenia requires our attention and some changes in the current social system. More love and care could make our world safer and better!

怕！思覺失調病人做壞事都無罪？

怕！思覺失調病人做壞事都無罪？

最近在台灣出現幾則令人聞之動容的可怕新聞，一名思覺失調患者殺警無罪還能交保回家。(UDN, 2020) 還有疑似患者拿刀亂刺人。(AppleDaily, 2020) 其實在日本也有相關案例撤銷死刑改判無期徒刑導致社會一片譁然。(LTN, 2020) 這不禁讓社會大眾恐慌起來。

思覺失調，舊稱精神分裂，英文為Schizophrenia。通常症狀有瞻妄、妄想、幻視聽等等症狀。因為其無法自我控制的怪異行為常常讓人有患者即危險的想法。但思覺失調是否真的就是犯罪預備軍呢？

以色列科學家在研究中發現，犯下殺人罪的患者與良民的患者相比，通常犯罪者有著極度高比例的人有酒癮、前科紀錄、極端的行為紀錄以及無法融入社會的新移民。(Valevski et al., 1999) 看到這裡是否有點眼熟？如果把思覺失調去掉，可以這樣說：「謀殺犯相較於一般人有極高比例有酒癮、前科紀錄、極端的行為紀錄以及無法融入社會的新移民。」土耳其的研究也發現，跟一般思覺失調患者比起來，有85%以上的思覺失調罪犯沒有按時吃藥且常有嚴重的偏執狂傾向，極高比率是社會底層人士或是有家庭、職場嚴重問題的人。(Belli et al., 2010) 假設把思覺失調刪掉，這個研究好像也可以成立。這樣一來，有沒有思覺失調跟犯罪是否有直接關係便讓人存疑。

在澳洲，就有科學家與醫師針對此問題做出探討。他們發現有大量謀殺案發生的族群或是地區通常伴隨著更多思覺失調患者殺人機率。(Large, Smith, & Nielssen, 2009) 這表示殺人罪犯除了個人問題外，其實更大的問題來自於家庭、環境等因素。更有科學家以新、舊德國精神病醫療體系為案例指出，只要有良好的精神病長照體系以及急性精神病照護網，思覺失調患者殺人比例可以有效的減少。(Erb et al, 2006)

思覺失調就是個病，如同失智症、癌症等相同，一個要好好被照顧的病。不是律師的藉口或是政治人物的選票提款機、更不是一句「沒辦法他有病又不吃藥。」這種無罪的推託之詞可以敷衍過去的。只能希望政府可以願意下定決心立法成立良好的配套與法令來彌補不足的部分，而非震怒、不滿然後喊口號。

Sunny! It is time to put some coffee on my face as sunscreen?!

Sometimes you might notice your coffee beans become oily. Oily coffee bean doesn’t definitely mean whether good or bad. It is just a chemical reaction within. After roasting coffee beans, the beans would crack up, emission carbon dioxide #CO2 and do some oxidized reaction. As a result, the oil of coffee bean comes onto the surface.

However, coffee bean oil is not just some sort of ordinary oil. It can be #sunscreen!

In 1988, a mega French cosmetic company, L'Oréal, (yes, that L'Oréal) had applied the patent about how to make sunscreen by coffee in the U.S.* (off patent now)
They discovered coffee bean oil extracted from coffee ground could filter the sunlight selectively in the wavelength range from 280 to 320 nm, a.k.a. #UVB. Therefore, putting it on the skin could avoid tanning and burning while sunbathing. Additionally, it is natural, not irritating and hard to be washed away by sea and sweat. The ingredient is also merely coffee ground!

Consequently, they made a big fortune…

The story is not finished yet. Seeker’s gonna do seek. The scientists would not stop here and never be satisfied!

Brazilians who love suntan and bikini will not allow French doing all the work alone. In 2011, a bunch of Brazilian scientists from different fields, like biology, botany and etc., took 13 different coffee species and experimented their Sun Protection Factor, #SPF.*

In conclusion, #Arabica coffee, which is the most popular coffee in the world (about 70%) has SPF1.5. the highest SPF is about 2.59 by C. eugenioides from east Africa, like Congo, and the lowest SPF is about 0.35 by #Canephora, which is the second popular coffee in the world (30%).

Hence, next time you spill some coffee on your face or shirt accidentally, just keep cool and tell your friends:” no worries, I just need some #SPF1point5 sunscreen on my face/shirt.”

If you live in Taiwan and you want the finest roasted coffee beans #SPF1point5 or drip bag coffee also #SPF1point5. #LAZAcoffee could satisfy you. Every coffee bag is freshly roasted by #MasterChangChiang. We guarantee delivery within 24 hours. Now every brand is 20% off in the house!

好熱！只好擦咖啡防曬？！

如果家裡有在 #泡咖啡 都應該有看過(買即溶咖啡或都先磨好的不算！) #咖啡豆出油 的情況。其實這只是一種化學的氧化作用，跟好壞無關。在 #烘焙咖啡 的時候或久置後，豆子會裂開並釋放出二氧化碳並與氧氣作用，油就因此滲出表面產生油光。

但咖啡豆油不只是咖啡豆油，其實早在1988年，法國的化妝品巨獸「萊雅集團」 (對，就是巴黎萊雅的那個萊雅) 於美國申請了一項把咖啡豆油做成 #防曬油 的專利*，將這技術占為己有(現在專利已過期就是)。

萊雅發現咖啡渣中萃取出的咖啡油可以有效吸收掉波長280nm到320nm的太陽光，即 #UVB ，藉此減少皮膚因為暴露在太陽下導致變紅變黑的問題。還因為是天然咖啡渣萃取，所以不太會刺激皮膚；油又很難被汗水、海水等沖刷掉；再加上原料還是人家不要的咖啡渣。有效、安全、環保、低成本，這根本是天上掉下來的禮物啊！

然後他們就 #大賺一筆 了。嗯……

故事到這裡還沒結束。科學家就是科學家，如同 #唐鳳 說過：「我想做的，都是無法完成的事。」** 喜歡追求無窮無盡知識的科學家們當然要探究到底啦！

愛曬太陽跟穿比基尼跳舞的巴西人怎麼可能讓法國人專美於前。在2010年，一群來自園藝、生化等不同領域的巴西科學家們便乾脆拿起自家種的跟別人種的咖啡開始測量哪種咖啡防曬才是好棒棒。*** 他們測量了13種不同品種咖啡的 #SFP (防曬係數)，結果發現──
大家最愛也最常喝的 #阿拉比卡咖啡 #arabica (佔世界咖啡70%) 約有SPF1.5。最高的是來自東非剛果附近的 C. eugenioides 有SPF2.59，最低的是世界第二大的 #卡尼弗拉咖啡 #canephora (佔世界咖啡30%) 只有SPF0.35。

如果下次在外面喝咖啡，不小心把咖啡灑到自己身上，記得帥氣又冷靜地跟朋友說：「姊(哥)灑的不是咖啡，是擦防曬油 (有70%機率是SPF1.5)。」

當然，想要最好的 SPF1.5 阿拉比卡咖啡豆， #LAZAcoffee #拉札咖啡 絕對滿足您的需求。下單後咖啡達人 #張檣大師 現烘現磨，24小時內馬上寄送，保證新鮮、好喝、防曬係數足夠！還有 #大包裝 跟 #方便耳掛包 任君挑選喔！還打 #八折 喔！詳情請見： https://www.lamarckbio.com/pages/laza-coffee

ps. 額外小知識，SPF是指這東西可以幫忙抵抗太陽多久，也就是以時間為測量單位。一罐防曬乳為了增加有效時間，通常都會加十幾種到數十種提煉加合成的防曬製劑，才有SPF30、40、50。

WHAT? Drinking milk might cause children Type I diabetes?

Recently, on plenty of news and healthcare websites in Taiwan, you can see an article about: “drinking more milk would increase the chance to get Type I #diabetes for kids.”* Also it declared this statement was from a professional #metabolism doctor in Taiwan. What a shocking finding! However, there are many details we need to discuss, so let’s begin.

At the beginning, this article was written about this professional doctor heard milk is bad for people from an international conference about a decade ago. The reason is milk has been manipulated by human. The most crucial manipulated protein is ß-casomorphin-7 (abbreviated as #BCM7). This protein could influence brain like “opium.” Allegedly, there were more Type I diabetes patients in those countries which consumed more milk because of BCM7. This article also mentioned about《Devil in the Milk》*2, this book indicated A2 milk was way better than A1 milk because of BCM7 in A1 milk. Therefore, this professional doctor would replace milk by #soymilk while A2 milk is rare in Taiwan.

When the public read this article, they might have some key points: milk causes Type I diabetes, opium in milk makes people addicted, A2>A1 and soy milk is better than milk. True or false? Let’s find out.

First of all, is there any relation between milk, BCM7 and Type I diabetes? Some reports even indicated that A1 milk might be linked to type 1 diabetes, heart disease, infant death (yes, milk might kill babies), autism, and digestive problems. *3 However, if we read these research reports closely, those reports just said “might,” “maybe” or “probably” have some sort of unknown link, so they assumed these possibilities. Additionally, there is no significant difference in their data.

During our research, on the contrary, some reports by animal experience elaborated BMC7 could protect mice from hyperglycemia, oxidized stress and gastrointestinal issues.*5 In our personal opinion, all of these reports, no matter milk is bad or good, are just hypothesis, so it still needs more evidence to disclose the truth behind milk.

Secondary, is milk addicting? Long story short, similar compound might trigger totally different reaction. But if we must say something addicting in milk, the only thing might make you addicted is lactose. Yes, sweet could be addicting. At least it works for me.

About A2>A1 and soy milk, it just depends on which you like.

Actually, The European Food Safety Authority (#EFSA) had already responded this case in 2009.*6 EFSA officially indicated the evidence linked between A1 milk and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (abbreviated as #IDDM, a.k.a. Type I diabetes) was very weak. Moreover, the data and statistics were flaw, and those reports could not explain the consequence and the reason behind this topic. Therefore, EFSA DO NOT agree milk could induce IDCC or any other related illnesses.

In conclusion, there is no evidence that milk could make children getting Type I diabetes. However, too much sugar, included lactose, might induce some other health issues, like Type II diabetes, among children and adult. “#Moderation” and “#adequate” is the best way to consume lovely milk. Especially, the diabetes patients should be aware more of how much lactose in every meal.

什麼？喝牛奶會導致兒童得到第一型糖尿病？

最近，在各大健康資訊網都可以看到一篇文章，斗大的標題寫著：「#牛奶 喝越多，兒童 #第一型糖尿病 的病患可能越多。」*並標榜著是台灣糖尿病權威醫師所述。某方面來說，這標題對生物學界可以用「#震撼彈！」來形容了。

不過，這篇的真實度到底如何呢？這裡就來由淺入深的探討一番。為了避免爭議，內文就不放這篇文章的相關連結了。

首先，這篇文章一開始提到這位權威醫師十多年前參加某研討會聽到一位教授說到關於牛奶對人的不良影響──因為乳牛經過人類的改造，牛奶早已變質。這變質的東西就是一種叫做「#ß酪嗎啡肽7」（ß casomorphin-7；以下簡稱 #BCM7）的成分，這種蛋白質甚至會影響大腦「類似鴉片」，並說喝牛奶越多的國家，各種慢性病與第一型糖尿病的病患越多。接著討論到《Devil in the Milk》*2這本書，裡面倡導A2牛奶，因為A1牛奶內「BCM7」會非常惡劣得影響到人體種種。故該權威醫師都是用 #豆漿 代替牛奶，因為牛奶「不見得」比較健康。

看到這裡，有幾個重點，一般人看到大約的印象就是：牛奶=糖尿病一型、牛奶裡面有嗎啡會上癮、A2>A1、豆漿比牛奶更好。至於這些直覺上的論述是否成立，我們一一剖析。
先從第一個問題開始，牛奶跟ß酪碼啡肽7會導致糖尿病一型嗎？甚至有些網站寫A1牛奶跟第一型糖尿病、心臟病、嬰兒驟死、自閉症與腸胃疾病都有關係。*3 但如果將其中寫到的文章一一翻開，每個都會寫上「假設」、「可能」、「或許」看到了這些可能性，到底真的有沒有關係也是「尚未釐清」。甚至數據也沒有科學上具意義的差異性(none significant difference)。

在查找資料的同時，反而發現到BCM7在有糖尿病一型的老鼠體內可以保護老鼠免於高血醣症與抗氧化*4，更可以促進腸胃分泌Mucins保護腸胃健康*5。類似這種完全相反的論述也是不少人發表，猶如雜誌上的科學版diss戰爭。不過兩派都在動物實驗跟「疑似」階段，建議看看就好。

第二個，牛奶有毒會上癮？簡單說分子的命名跟分子的「長相」有關，不見得會有完全相同的作用，最常看到的例子就是甲醛(變性酒精)跟乙醛(一般酒精)，一個喝了會瞎掉，一喝了會茫茫。所以牛奶有類嗎啡類成分完全不代表有成癮性，只是分子長得很像罷了。會讓人成癮的只有牛奶裡面甜甜的乳醣 (是的，糖跟甜食本身就有成癮風險的)。

第三跟第四就...見仁見智啦，反正台灣買不太到A2牛奶。至於豆漿，像科科編星期一三五是牛奶王道派、星期二四六是豆漿正統派；星期天就喝個 #珍珠奶茶 解放一下。

其實 #歐盟食品安全域性組織( #EFSA)在2009年早已針對此案作出了判決*6，該組織正式指出關於A1牛奶導致 #胰島素依賴型( #IDDM，就是第一型糖尿病)的影響，目前證據都非常的薄弱(weak)，而且文章內的統計數據有瑕疵與無法解釋的問題，更無法解釋兩者之間的因果，故「EFSA不認同牛奶導致IDDM或其他假說上的疾病」。

總結而言，牛奶會不會導致糖尿病一型是「沒有正相關證據」的，不能說有、不能說沒有，因為可能數十年後發現真的有相關，故只能說「現在的證據說不會」。要不要喝牛奶見仁見智，但凡事「適量就好」才是正解，千萬別因為愛喝就喝太多啊！尤其是糖尿病病患更應該要注意乳醣帶來的血糖影響才是重點。如果還是愛喝牛奶又怕糖尿病，可以上我們官網查看更多糖尿病相關知識喔！https://www.lamarckbio.pages/diabetes & https://www.erad-plus.com/ #ERADER #ERADPlusPreD

Really? Is this true ginger could alleviate dysmenorrhea?

Today, we keep talking about #cramps. There are plenty of foods, secret ingredients and methods to take care of this pain, chocolate (best from boyfriend or husband), red beam for instance. However, the true effect remains unknown.

One of the most popular methods for #dysmenorrhea is #ginger. There are so many different products made by ginger claimed they could tackle the menstrual cramp issue. Is it true?

The herbal scientists recruited 120 students with severe dysmenorrhea issue. those students took the capsules while the menstrual period. Half of them took the capsules filled with ginger root powder, and other half took the capsule filled with placebo, which means there is nothing useful but only starch. Compared to the students who took the starch capsule, the students took the ginger root powder capsule felt the problem and duration of dysmenorrhea got alleviated significantly. This kind of change is scientific different, which means this experience could indicate that ginger is helpful for dysmenorrhea in these sort of cases.*

There are a lot of “of-course” thing maybe not so “of-course.” Only through the scientific experience, we could comprehend the truth and real knowledge. This is #Lamarckbiomedical ‘s aim.

So next time, you girls know what is real useful while the cramps happened. ALSO, #Soothepatch could help. With natural #Curcumin and #Eucalyptus within new technology of pressure-sensitive percutaneous absorption patch, dysmenorrhea would be alleviated.

Hint: the cramps-alleviated products from boyfriends or husband are 3.5 times better than the products brought by users themselves. (no scientific evidence, but we believe so)

真假？薑到底可不可以緩解經痛？

今天繼續探討一下 #經痛 的小知識。關於 #緩解經痛 的方法百百種，各種坊間傳說秘方在女孩兒們的小圈圈中流傳著。例如熱巧克力(男友送的限定)或是紅豆湯。不過這些東西到底有沒有效呢？

其中一個最常被提到的就是 #薑 了，不管是薑片、薑茶、薑乳液，各種標榜著解決生理痛的大小產品也是琳瑯滿目。不過...到底這種東西是說爽、用爽的，還是真的有效呢？

專攻藥草的科學家們為了解答這個問題，找來了120名有嚴重經痛問題的學生，請他們在 #好朋友 #大姨媽 左右的時候吃下不知道內容物的膠囊，其中一半的學生會吃到薑粉、另一半則是安慰劑，簡單說就是長得跟薑粉一樣但無作用的粉末(通常是染色麥芽糊精)。結果發現，比起吃到安慰劑的學生，吃下薑粉的學生在於疼痛的嚴重度與持續時間都有明顯改善，也就是有所謂的 #科學意義上的差異 。這也就表示這次實驗可以依照實驗的方法說出薑的確對經痛有所改善的功能。*

其實有很多被視為理所當然的事情都不一定就是事實，只有依靠著科學驗證的方法才能正式為其背書並視為真正的 #知識 。這也是 #納馬科 我們專注的目標。

這樣一來，我們知道如果下次發生經痛問題，薑薑將會是女生們的救星！當然，含有天然 #薑黃 與 #尤加利 成分的 #筋爽貼片 也可以拯救你煩惱又痛苦的小肚肚！藉由強力的 #經皮吸收 技術，將有效的薑黃成分直送痛源深處，溫和緩解疼痛問題。歡迎與我們連絡體驗喔！

Seriously? Women fed soy formula as infant might get severe dysmenorrhea easily!

For the most of women, menstrual period means ultimate suffering, instead of just an ordinary period every month. This kind of pain could cause a massive fury that makes sure every man would understand what is #dysmenorrhea.

According to a statistics from Italian scientists, about 84% of mature female have been through menstrual cramps. Additionally, about 43% of them have the cramps at every period.* Technically, the possibility of winning a lottery might be higher than finding a woman never has any dysmenorrhea.

The reasons of dysmenorrheal are complicated. However, one of the causes might be how your mom or grandma fed you during the infant phase.

During a long term research by NIH in the U.S., it indicates women who fed by soy formula as infants might have more severe dysmenorrheal issue.** comparatively, women fed by animal milk related formula or breastfeeding as infants have less painful dysmenorrheal. Statistically, the possibility of severe dysmenorrheal is 50% higher compared soy formula fed women with other women. Specifically, the girls aged 18 to 22 might feel stronger about the difference.

Nevertheless, what mechanism and which compounds inducing this issue remain unknown. It needs more evidence to disclose the truth. Additionally, it is too late to complain what you ate when you were a little baby.

No matter what your mom or grandma fed you as infant, we must understand they fully and wholeheartedly devoted themselves to us. There were no scientists thought about this problem in that time, so they would not know the consequence of this. However, the problem of dysmenorrheal still needs to be tackled. Therefore, a #Soothepatch might help! #Curcumin and #Eucalyptus within new technology of pressure-sensitive percutaneous absorption patch could make your ovary soothed and warm. Let the period be smooth. 3 patches in a pack could let you share your patches with your hardworking mom and grandma. (Wait a second….
