Overweight Hispanic Children Shown To Have Vascular Inflammation

Focusing on the trees, blinded to the forest.

"Overweight Hispanic children with normal blood glucose (sugar) levels showed elevated markers for blood vessel inflammation that may predispose them to developing both type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, says a new study led by researchers from the Joslin Diabetes Center."

The inflammation argument is a silly tag line.

The bottom line is that overweight/obesity is the problem.

By connecting the two, when and if inflammation (a normal physiologic response) is pardoned as a cause of problems, all the hype leading up to it will serve to invalidate the real problem - the one of being too fat.

And the real problem of being too fat affects all of us - white, black, brown, yellow, etc.
