Healthcare Professional: OMG, what next? Funny, but not funny.
its kind of ridiculous that this study was even done.
breast tissue is mostly fat therefore the larger you are the more likely you are to have more fat else where in your body. You can be thin with a high body fat %
That's good to know Buckeye, as I'm hosed by their 'logic'.

I would think a more useful study of the data would have been to somehow take breast size as a ratio to body size, and see if there was a signifcant correlation with a higher ratio...in other words, large breast size without obesity...to see if it is an independent factor.This is funny. Nobody has diabetes in my family (large family) and we are all about DD or more by our low 20s.
I just got tested a couple months ago and found out i don't have it or even close to it, but i do have (forgot the name) but it's too low of blood sugar. I asked if that meant i would get it and he said no, but i have to keep candy with me 24/7 for attacks of the shakes.

The problem with type 2's is they're 'resistant' to the hormone, insulin.
Check this out.
If you Google the scientists names you'll get a lot more info, including the Toronto newspaper article and some interesting quotes from the researchers. And comments in articles like how Cell magazine made them redo their research as it was impossible to be right. And how type 1 and 2 are a LOT more similar than anybody thought.
Capsaicin is a natural antimicrobial.
Nobody is looking in the right place.

I'll try to find the stuff from last year. Darn amazing. I forwarded on your post to my hubby who said 'of course, its not the sugar, its the inflammation.' The article I posted is not all that I have. What was interesting to us was the neuroprotective qualities as well as the inflammation and the similarity to MS. And the fact that the whole thing set preconceived notions on it's ear. We loved that part.
Hugs,
Pip
