Ridiculous Study of the Week: Diabetes and Sugar
I pulled this from the article:
New research by scientists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, and sponsored by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, suggests that consuming too much dietary sugar could set off a process in the body that leads to prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Really? We didn’t know that dietary sugar excess can lead to diabetes? Are we living in the year 1798 or something? I hope a lot of money is going into this research because it is groundbreaking.
I propose that 50% of the academic primary care physicians be condemned back having to care for
patients with the rest of us. The academic and administrative world won’t miss ’em.
I remember an attending who said he entered academics because he felt “so guilty” not
running in and seeing every patient that was admitted at night. Now this was in a large institution with residents and multiple specialties!! Cripes like he was really needed. Said it intruded on his
life and made him fatigued. So the hypocrite trains MD’s to go out to do what he didn’t want to do?
I didn’t realize the significance of this at the time but it was easy to file away in my memory banks.
Methinks money could be better spent.
I love the ones that come out with, “Patients dieing of degenerative, incurable illnesses have higher rates of depression and anxiety.”
Hmmm. ???? Ya think?
An evil smear, no doubt funded by the fat industry.
Probably government funded.
