I don't know how I didn't figure out immediately that this is The Who. I should have known from the start, based on the ridiculous logic paired with that seemingly calm, reasonable tone.
Now I'm laughing, because at one point in this discussion, Who, you said that posts like mine damage the credibility of everyone this site. That has got to be the biggest joke ever, coming from someone whose credibility was been completely destroyed. You have been proven multiple times to be a liar and program supporter, even though your kid didn't attend HLA and you have no reason to be so interested in the place.
And please, get off your high horse about re-posting the bridal announcement. I posted it, it was public information, and if people didn't want the public to see it and possibly analyze it, then they shouldn't have put it in the paper in the first place.

Thank you. I think it is important not to pre judge people.

There are people who volunteer during war time to help the wounded and they are totally against the war. Doesn’t mean they should be humiliated for their choice. They feel they can help and make a difference in another person’s life, even in bad situations.
Give it some thought next time is all I ask.

I notice you addressed only the parts of my last post that you wanted to address. How typical. I will assume that since you didn't address the other parts of my post, that you finally agree with what I said originally - and if you've forgotten what that is, let me remind you:

--- Quote from: ""SH"" ---One other thing that is occuring on a higher level on the reservation is Diabetes. My mom says a very large percentage have it, I believe the type II version. We have discussed this particular issue because type I diabetes runs in my family (my father, 3 cousins, my great grandfather, etc) and 2 people had type II. theres been a debate about whether Type I is genetic, which, I feel it is. About type II though, that is usually caused by diet, being overweight, etc. But this is the type that the Cherokee have in a larger percentage. So, for this item, I was thinking maybe it was their diet, but, I found a study while looking up the alcoholism study yesterday that stated that the same genes that can cause alcohol to not be processed well is the same gene they feel that can cause type II diabetes. It has to do with sugar metabalization. I think its a possibility, but then again type II is a preventable disease so I think it just maybe makes you more of a candidate, not necesarily a definate thing that you would get diabetes. And just because you may have a genetic possibility to become more of an alcoholic (the idea that some dispute), doesnt mean you would have to become one, just makes you slightly more prone to it if you choose to drink. JMHO.

makes sense, becouse alchohol is oxidized into acetaldehyde, which is a type of sugar [ i think].
read this, if you paid attention in chem class:
http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/vchembook/ ... olmet.html
(on the bottom of that webpage)
"
A central role in the toxicity of alcohol may be played by acetaldehyde itself. Although the liver converts acetaldehyde into acetic acid, it reaches a saturation point where some of it escapes into the blood stream. The accumulated acetaldehyde exerts its toxic effects by inhibiting the mitochondria reactions and functions. The alcoholic is a victim of a vicious circle; a high acetaldehyde level impairs mitochondria function, metabolism of acetaldehyde to acetic acid decreases, more acetaldehyde accumulates, and causes further liver damage--hepatitis and cirrhosis.
Recent investigations have suggested that acetaldehyde may be responsible for the development of alcohol addiction. Acetaldehyde in the brain may inhibit enzymes designed to convert certain nerve transmitters from aldehydes to acids. The nerve transmitters that accumulate may then react with the acetaldehyde to form compounds which are startlingly similar to certain morphine-type compounds"
i agree with deborah that the alchoholism among NA's was primarily a product of "white man's oppression", along with learned behaviors. But i am positive that there is also a biological ink.

What you did was wrong and in bad taste. You shouldn’t disrespect other people you don’t know. The announcement was made public and was intended to share their celebration of marriage.

We know, you have exposed them, you have all the bridal announcements, on back up disc, as proof. Your source of information has amazed us parents. Imagine if the word gets out and prospective parents find out that HLA is hiring counselors with degrees in Psychology and others with double majors.
HLA should pray the cook doesn’t get married and expose to the world that he has a background in nutrition. That would open a whole new level of questions… is he certified by the state? If he isn’t we should expose them and shut the school down?

Yeh, if they'd return to their traditional diet they'd probably be fine.
Diabetes was not always a concern for the Pimas. It has only been in the years that followed World War II that the Pimas health has been deteriorating (Marchland 2). In the past sixty years diabetes has been the biggest killer of the Pima people (Marchland 1). Coincidently, it has been these same sixty years that the Pimas have adopted a more Western way of life. It can be argued that without the influence of the outside world, the Pimas would not be suffering from diabetes.
According to Ravussin, American farmers diverted the water supply of the Pimas, and they could no longer grow their crops (Marchland 1). It was a terrible time for the Pimas. They suffered from starvation and poverty. They were malnourished and instead of their healthy diet, they began to eat U.S. government rations that consisted of high quantities of sugar, lard and white flour (Marchland 1).
Mercola offers information suggesting diet specifications and exercise advice. In the week of May 19, 2001, Mercola warns his readers “not to eat grains” (Mercola, 2). This is the type of information that can make a difference for someone who is unaware of how his or her diet affects them.

The typical Arizona Pima spends twenty-seven hours less a week doing physical activity than the Mexican Pimas (Sevilla 2). With the amount of exercise the Mexican Pimas get, they are in much better shape than the Arizona Pimas (Sevilla 2). Obesity is not a problem for them and because of that, diabetes isn’t a problem for them either. The comparison between the two tribes show that even though the genetic makeup is the same for both, it is the lifestyle that makes the difference. Even though the Mexican Pimas are more physically active, they eat the same foods as the Arizona Pimas. So if the Arizona Pimas eat less fat and exercise more than they do, they should be able to enjoy the same health as their Mexican brothers. So couldn’t a change in lifestyles be the answer to the Arizona Pimas’ strife? The answer is yes. So couldn’t a change in lifestyles be the answer to the Arizona Pimas’ strife? The answer is yes. The only problem is that once a person has grown accustomed to modern amenities, the amenities are almost impossible to give up. It is also very difficult to give up foods that are fast and delicious, no matter how bad they are for you.

Just as the study with Mexican Americans who were experiencing a high incidence of gallballder issues. They ate their traditional diet (corn, beans, cheese made the traditional way, squash, etc) and saw drastic improvement.
Still looking for the gene that compells people to drink alcohol in excess....
