[QUOTE="robertconroy, post: 195964, member: 30728"] Association does not necessarily mean cause. Every time I see an accident on the highway, there are police cars. Does this mean police cars cause accidents? Of course not. Does being overweight cause type 2 diabetes? Maybe not. Maybe type 2 diabetes causes obesity. Most type 2 diabetics have high insulin levels. In fact, I can look at a person and pretty much tell if they have insulin resistance - if a man has a waist over 40 inches or a woman has a waist over 34.5 inches, they probably both have insulin resistance. You see, insulin is the fat storage hormone. If it's high your weight goes up, if it's low your weight goes down. That's why eating low glycemic is so important for type 2s. It lowers your glucose, but more important, it lowers your insulin. High insulin levels cause insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, metabolic synrome, heart attack, cancer, most all the major diseases. Now studies have shown over 50% of all heat attacks are in people with high insulin levels. But typically, doctors don't check insulin, which could indicate going down the diabetes path 8 - 10 years before it actually develops. How do they treat type 2 diabetes? They give you drugs that raise your insulin levels. I know, it doesn't make much sense to me either. We call this grabbing at straws. It's always best to treat a nutritional disease with nutrition, rather than treating the symptoms with drugs that mask the symptoms, but don't address the cause. [/QUOTE]
