[QUOTE="dnfuss, post: 124216, member: 15487"] That's not what I said at all. I'm sorry if you find the number of words daunting, but it's a complicated subject. Read my response to DragonBits if you want a more thorough explanation. Your friend's progression to diabetes is quite typical. Glad he lost weight. Maybe when you say he "stopped eating junk" that meant he began following a lower-carb diet, which helps to control blood sugars. But without seeing his test results, neither you nor I have any way of knowing if he was actually maintaining normal blood sugars or not. Most doctors follow the ADA guidelines, which view fasting and post-prandial blood sugars far above normal as acceptable when research finds that they result in a clear level of diabetic complications. So perhaps he continued to have elevated (although lower than previous) blood sugars. Anecdotal stories such as this unsupported by clinical evidence are really meaningless. Maybe you'll be diabetic if you stay slim and maybe you won't. If you eat a typical high-carb diet and have completely normal blood sugars you do NOT have diabetes, whether you're fat or not. If you eat such a diet and have blood sugars above certain levels then you are diabetic. That is the definition of diabetes. We do NOT all have diabetes. The great majority of the population does not have and will not develop diabetes whether they get fat or not. Again, it is a fact that most people who are fat do NOT develop diabetes. How is that explained if being fat is a primary cause of diabetes? As for mental masturbation, I would view making conclusory statements with no scientific support except "common sense" (which very often conflates correlation with causation and is ultimately proven to be completely wrong) to be exactly that.
