Researchers at Edith Cowan University revealed that people who consumed at least two servings of fruit per day had higher measures of insulin sensitivity than those who ate less than a half serving. The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, showed that a healthy diet including whole fruits, but not fruit juice, may play a role in mitigating type 2 diabetes risk.

(KERO) â Doctors could one day be able to use an x-ray to determine a patient s risk of having a heart attack.
Researchers at Edith Cowan University in Australia found that x-rays or CT- scans of the abdominal aorta could show signs of heart disease. They say that is where calcium builds up first and an x-ray could allow doctors to make necessary lifestyle changes in patients.
Researchers say more than 50 studies showed people with higher levels of calcium in the abdominal aorta were two to four times more likely to experience a heart event.
