Perhaps... but I feel the need to try and redress the balance where the medical establishment seems so certain that the cause and effect between obesity and diabetes has been proven... it hasn't

With that said, there IS biochemical evidence that fat-storage is strongly promoted by high levels of insulin... as seen in Type 2 and one of its main precursors, Insulin Resistance... especially on a high-carb diet.
