Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity not Necessarily Linked??

Type 2 Diabetes is the disease most often publicly associated with obesity...... Health product Organisations, medical crowds and Government use the health care costs and death toll from this condition to inflate statistics (they do this all the time with diseases associated loosely with Obesity and then add up all the costs which are all brought to bear on the obese/overweight) For years, they have claimed rising rates of obesity will fuel Type 2 Diabetes, producing the first generation of children with a shorter life expectancy than their parents ......But guess what?... Rates of Type 2 Diabetes in children are not skyrocketing. And now even many of the researchers who announced that steadily rising rates of life expectancy will suddenly drop admitted that their dire predictions were based on "collective judgment" rather than scientific evidence. In fact, a study published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that Type 2 Diabetes among children is "still relatively infrequent." And the accompanying editorial called it rare. I think there should be a law against people releasing certain statistics or facts without real solid scientific evidence to prove their case cause even with that scientific evidence I'm dubious because not only do I think it can be biased due to the health companies funding a hell of a lot of them but its also only fact as we know it now....Trans-fat and the fat gene spring to mind.... Anyway back to Diabetes....It's no coincidence that over the last 20 years rates of Type 2 Diabetes haven't changed significantly, but the prevalence of eating disorders has exploded. Experts warn that over-the-top campaigns against childhood obesity are backfiring, causing kids to binge, diet, and develop eating disorders. I also think it creates a form of prejudice against the overweight too

On a final note ....Why is it that you never hear about this kind of thing on the news? Its always the other side of the coin putting blame on the fat!!
