    Meat And Insulin Production/diabetes And Also Inflammation

    This is really unscientific stuff, quite disingenuous. It uses a few true scientific statements which are not relevant together with tendentious...

    I can offer my take on this but I think there's still a lot of science to be done on it all. I think it's important to recognise that Taylor's...
