It is not very helpful for finding real treatments and doing real prevention because people get so hung up on "lose weight or don't get fat in the first place".<br /><br />It does the (tiny tiny percentage) of young people who get type 2 diabetes a disservice, because it is blamed on them being fat, although in a notable percentage of instances it happens to slim children too. I think doctors should be more interested in why children would get a disease of ageing than taking the lazy way out and blaming weight.Lenanoreply@blogger.com
