Alarming predictions from the Centers for Disease Control assert that by the year 2050, roughly half the US population will have developed type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\nAlarming predictions from the Centers for Disease Control assert that by the year 2050, roughly half the US population will have developed type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n
The epidemic that seems to be increasing out of control has scientists scrambling to look at all the factors that play a part in whether or not a person will develop the disease, and have found new evidence to suggest that it\u2019s far more complicated than just eating too much sugar.<\/p>\n
In research recently published in the journal Nature, scientists revealed evidence regarding the brain\u2019s role in the development- and potential reversal- of type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n
While many of the former studies point to inflammation as the key factor, this new study has found that the brain\u2019s reaction to insulin levels in the body plays a pivotal role in a person\u2019s likelihood of developing diabetes.<\/p>\n
According to the new research, scientists assert that type 2 diabetes develops when the pancreas\u2019 ability to regulate insulin AND the brain\u2019s regulation of other chemical receptors both fail.<\/p>\n
The study did not look specifically at whether the damaging effects of inflammation were ultimately responsible for both failures, though but that\u2019s what natural health experts have known for decades.<\/p>\n
