GREAT information. We will benefit from keeping our blood sugar low by not eating sugar and taking things that will help keep it low. They give out "Lipitor" like sugar-pills to people like my brother who only has a cholestrol of 210! Come on! I told him to control his sugar and lose 10 lbs if he wants to, not just take a pill that could damage his liver. My point is that if there is a "financial incentive", you'd better believe that a drug will get on the fast-track to approval and use. Thank God we can take matters into our own hand sometimes, because if we wait on the FDA, the pharm. companies, the researchers, doctors, eventually it trickles down to us---but it's too late---we're dead.
