The increase in diabetes among Americans is
nearing epidemic levels. One contributing factor
to this increase appears to be the change in the
average daily diet of Americans which now has
five to ten times as much sugar as it did 50
years ago.
21. Type 2 diabetes is a result of the body developing a
resistance to insulin. Since the muscles cannot process the
higher levels of sugar in the blood stream, the body’s blood
vessels sustain serious damage.
22. Class Discussion
Do you know anyone who has
diabetes?
How should diabetics change their
life style so their health can be
improved?

31. Cancer is a daunting disease that results
in out of control growth in body cells.
32. Cancer cells divide at a faster rate than
normal cells and encroach on and destroy
healthy tissue and organs.
33. This large tumor was removed from a cancer patient
to reduce the chances of damage to surrounding
tissue. After removal, physicians examined the patient
for signs of malignant tissue to determine if the
cancer had metastasized.
35. Cancer has many different causes. Some
cancers are caused by environmental factors
such as chemical pollutants or excessive
exposure to the sun. Others are caused by
life style issues such as diet and exercise.
35
37. 37
