    Dang. Funny that it's spiked since 1980 which is when we started hearing about AIDS and thought that might be the big human species killer ... turns out it could be diabetes.

    Thanks for posting this.

    This last paragraph caught my attention....
    The report said WHO is updating its guidelines on fat and carbohydrate intake, but said adults can reduce their risk of type 2 diabetes through regular, adequate physical activity and "healthy diets that include sufficient consumption of dietary fiber, and replacing saturated fatty acids with polyunsaturated fatty acids."

    Worst part - now someone will have to read the report. Volunteers?
