Obesity - Waist Watchers
The common misconception that obesity is just about weak-willed people overeating is just that - a misconception.

Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic and digestive disorder involving the assimilation not only of carbohydrates but also fats and proteins. The result is a defective or deficient production of insulin by the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans, specialized cells in the pancreas, and an imbalance of other enzymes and hormones. This leads to impaired glucose use or hyperglycemia as well as impaired fat and protein metabolism due in large part to impaired production of enzymes, their cofactors, and hormones.
Healing From the Inside Out
