Not All Fat Created Equal

As if.

"It has long been known that type 2 diabetes is linked to obesity, particularly fat inside the belly. Now, researchers at the Joslin Diabetes Center have found that fat from other areas of the body can actually reduce insulin resistance and improve insulin sensitivity.

In a study published in the May issue of Cell Metabolism, a team lead by C. Ronald Kahn, M.D. found that subcutaneous fat -- fat found below the skin, usually in the hips and thighs -- is associated with reduced insulin levels and improved insulin sensitivity."

But here is the point.

"'This points to a new opportunity to find substances made by subcutaneous fat that may actually be good for glucose metabolism,'' said Dr. Kahn, Head of the Joslin Research Section on Obesity and Hormone Action and the Mary K. Iacocca Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. 'If we can identify how subcutaneous fat does this, we will have a big clue as to where to look for these substances.'"

A "new opportunity" to SELL you something.

If you did not get fat in the first place, you would not have type 2 diabetes.

If you lose the weight, you will lose the diabetes and save money, too.

Research of, by and for the crooks.
