[QUOTE="geefull, post: 1394702, member: 305199"] The actual quotes the BBC uses from the doctor say that 'you can use diet to reverse the symptoms of diabetes' and it's in a mouse model, so it hardly seems to warrant the hyped headlines (yet at least). The doctor (Dr. Longo) also mentions 'reprogramming' beta cells, which is very different from 'regenerating' them (which the Beeb mention earlier) although he also says 'rebuild' which I agree is closer to regenerating but he uses it in the context of rebuilding the part of the pancreas which is no longer functioning (but would obviously still need to exist) , regenerating implies creating new cells, reprogramming implies improving those that (still) exist. Worrying because it gives non diabetics the impression that diabetes can be 'fixed' and as for using diet to control diabetes and improve the functioning of our remaining beta cells, a lot of us here work to do that :) [/QUOTE]
