Two new studies are exploring the link between diet and diabetes
Researchers in the first study found African American women who drank two or more soft drinks a day had a 24 percent increased risk for the disease. Those who had two or more fruit drinks had a 31 percent increase.
This link decreased when researchers took into account a woman's weight, but only for soft drinks, not for fruit drinks.
A second study shows adults who eat high amounts of fruit and vegetables have a over 60 percent lower risk for the disease.

And in other medical news…
Receiving an organ transplant is a second chance at life. But new studies show 15 to 20 percent of transplant patients develop cancer within ten years.
Now new research has found therapies that could significantly lower that risk.
Researchers at Harvard Medical School found that cyclosporine, a common anti-rejection drug given to transplant patients to boost blood supply to a new organ, can also grow new blood vessels that feed tumors.
Tumors stopped growing in mice with pre-existing tumors when they were given cyclosporine and another drug to slow down vessel growth.
