There are many things no one seems to be able to understand with metabolism and weight. For instance, in the last five years, I have noticed many more people with large waist circumferences. 20 years ago, women had smaller waists and larger hips, which is better for you. For some reason, this has changed. It is too short a period of time to be evolutionary, so it must be environmentally driven.

Good article. Not only the 'Diabetes' but 'Hypertension' is also a very lethal disease, affecting every system of body. Both these Monsters are preventable by minor alterations in our life style; unless it is genetic type such as Juvenille diabetes or Primary/essential Hypertension.

"The modern age that has given us million more choices also has taken from us the ability to make good choices."
Well I don't agree with the above statement. Man is a supreme being. Man carries enormous poetential to excercise his power, The Power to choose. we just need to manifest this potential.
