The type of diabetes I’m describing is self-inflicted. Of course, if someone suffers damage to the pancreas (from an infection, for example) they can develop something like Type 1.5 diabetes.*GHETTOBLASTER » 12 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ The school of thought has always been ...
..Archeologists can see signs of diabetes in skeletal remains, especially when certain combos of indicators are present.
The word is diabetes was pretty rare back in Fred Flintstone's day.
We Man Apes spent most of our time as hominids adapted to a feast or famine existence.
Our systems didn't need to be as "ramped up" all the time trying to meet the demands of metabolizing such a constant supply of simple, processed sugars and alcohol.
Now this discovery about fat being a diabetes trigger is interesting.
Going back to the Ape Diet comparison....I think animal fat intake is a fairly rare treat for them.
****** closer to the lower primates in many ways.
They were taken right out of a Stone Age existence [and feast or famine diet] just 300 years ago.
They are more prone to getting diabetes than the more evolved races that sprang forth from the negro.

Eskimos have eaten almost exclusively meat loaded with lots of fat for 1000s of years..so I'm really curious to know how predisposed they are to diabetes...?
I imagine THAT is the type of diabetes that occurred 2000+ yrs ago.
A group predisposed to thousands of years of eating mostly fat-based is unlikely to be afflicted with diabetes because their carb intake is naturally low. However, if they were to start consuming carbs at higher rates (that people like you and me would easily tolerate) they would almost certainly develop prediabetes.
It is no surprise diabetes is prevalent amongst ‘da blacks who combine watermelon and soda (sugar) with fried chicken (fat).
