"Fat epidemic linked to chemicals run amok"

While not strictly about diabetes, this article has lots of good information about how chemicals in the modern diet can contribute to disruptions of the endocrine system, leading to obesity and other endocrine disorders.

I was happy to see something from a mainstream, widely-read source suggesting that that obesity, T2 and other health issues might have causes other than just laziness and gluttony!

Anyone else see this? What did you think?

I have to agree with that… I was a pretty skinny, bordering on the anorexic side, child… and then I gained a huge amount of weight in a month’s time… without any change in diet, at all. I feel pollution, chemicals, and the hormones fed to livestock for meats/dairy have much to contribute to these issues…
