How Poor Maternal Diet Can Increase Risk of Diabetes: New Mechanism Discovered

Crap. Type 2 diabetes is fat person diabetes.

Researchers funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council have shown one way in which poor nutrition in the womb can put a person at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes and other age-related diseases in later life. This finding could lead to new ways of identifying people who are at a higher risk of developing these diseases and might open up targets for treatment.

Mechanism studies are ephemeral. Recall that at one time there were only three elementary particles - electrons, protons and neutrons. Now there are way more.

There is only one major mechanism - more Calories in than out.

The fix?

Fewer Calories in than out.

Over and out.
