Quote:I was commenting on you saying diabetes is preventable as you were meaning if you eat right and exercise you won't get it which is false...You can eat the most healthy as humanly possible and work out every day and still get this nasty disease...Unhealthy eating is certainly a major factor in getting diabetes but it's not the only factor... You could be a health freak and in tip top shape but if one of your parents has/had diabetes you stand a good chance of getting it too...Or who knows, you could be healthy as can be and come down with a gal bladder problem, or your pancreas just doesn't want to work right and become a diabetic... Keeping glucose levels stable isn't the same as being cured or prevented... You are just trying to be an [BAD WORD REMOVED]...

So you don't think diabetes prevention programs work? Because the government sure is spending a lot of money on them.


And we're discussing your assertion that eating healthy is too costly, which it still isn't btw, because a lack of healthy diet increases health care costs, which it does, except for diabetes I guess since now you assert that it wouldn't really help that much.
