Molecule Discovered That Makes Obese People Develop Diabetes

Yep.
"Many people who are overweight or obese develop insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes at some stage in their lives. A European research team has now discovered that obese people have large amounts of the molecule CXCL5, produced by certain cells in fatty tissue.

The main risk factors for type 2 diabetes are obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. The biomedical community has known for many years that substances produced by fatty tissue are responsible for the link between obesity and diabetes."
The molecule is also known as "Eat-too-darned-much-inol."

Put down the fork and back away from the table.
