Ya think? Did you consider the source of this study? It may be relevant as to whether or not this
study has any credibility an the scientific sense.
Dietary Fat Intake as Risk Factor for the Development of Diabetes

The study is part of the Multicenter Nutritional Study of the Mediterranean Group for the Study
of Diabetes (MGSD), and it was financially supported by the MGSD, Novo Nordisk A/S, and
Farmaserve Hellas.

Several antidiabetic agents are under development: they include S 21403, a compound with a novel
effect on pancreatic insulin secretion in that it causes a rapid decrease in blood glucose levels
over a very short duration (it has glucose-lowering activity only after meals, not in between).
It has two potential benefits: it could prevent postprandial surges in hyperglycemia, it could avoid
the decrease in blood glucose that tends to persist after meals with conventional glucose-lowering
medication.
S 21403 could play an important role in the treatment of diabetes alongside the many other
pharmaceutical products already available.
Another highly promising compound, S 15261, is currently in Phase II development. Its
potential benefits are two-fold in that it acts on both insulin secretion and insulin target
tissues. ------------end quote

All very interesting info to know. What would happen to the sales of these companies if it
were found that simply restricting refined carbs in the diet can resolve most cases of obesity
and diabetes?
Here is one very good piece of research that isn't connected to the pharmaceutical companies that
indicate clearly that blood glucose kills b-cells and that most fats protect them:

This is what real science looks like.
