Hi, My name is Olga and I manage this facebook group http://www.facebook.com/VoteDeadSea . I always look for some interesting facts about the place. This time I found a research conducted by the Ben Gurion Univ. that suggest that a swim in the Dead Sea water effects the blood sugar, very interesting foundings, but for now it's for type2 only.
You can read more details about the research here: A DIP IN THE DEAD SEA MAY HELP DIABETES | Facebook
