When I read the article, I felt disjointed, as if there was something
wrong but I couldn't put my finger on it.
Thanks to the above, it is now clear.
The researchers appear to make the claim that Type II Diabetes is a
result of insufficient insulin generation .... and therefore anything
that inhibits insulin generation causes Type II Diabetes.
This is the *inccomplete* description of Type II, according to the
American Diabetic Association .....
And, of course, this use of an incomplete definition of the disorder is
the SPIN which you Idissident) identified.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In type 2 diabetes,
*either* the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore
the insulin. Insulin is necessary for the body to be able to use sugar.
Sugar is the basic fuel for the cells in the body, and insulin takes the
sugar from the blood into the cells. When glucose builds up in the blood
instead of going into cells, it can cause two problems:
* Right away, your cells may be starved for energy.
* Over time, high blood glucose levels may hurt your eyes, kidneys,
nerves or heart.

It seems that politics, religion and diet are all pertty fertile fields
for SPIN as one attempts to convince others that your belief is
true..... at any cost.
