"Insulin is not a cure." I wonder what mechanism he thinks will cause the alleged immune system response to stop destroying beta cells simply by eating lettuce with a gene added to produce the insulin protein.

I've heard of MS patients being treated orally with mylon sheath from cows to reduce the autoimmune response by retraining the immune system, but I'm skeptical when an article claims that something like this would "cure 21 million cases of diabetes" -- they don't even state the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, which makes the professor sound out of his league.
