Metabolic syndrome can't predict heart risk: study

Still think they have any idea what they are doing?

"So-called "metabolic syndrome," a composite medical condition often cited by drug companies, can predict diabetes but not heart disease, British researchers said on Thursday.

Richard Khan, chief scientific and medical officer of the American Diabetes Association, said the finding was 'another nail in the coffin' for the syndrome, which has been criticized in the past for having limited diagnostic value."

You'd better not.
