The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
I strongly believe that most chronic illnesses are connected with insulin resistance dementia cancer even autoimmune disease definitely cardiovascular disease obesity
insulin resistance is the root cause for not only diabetes but it's going to be the root cause for all these other abnormalities fatty liver disease make us prone makes a lot of cancers worse heart disease and again that's the number one killer in this country it's insulin resistance that's driving all these things
let's understand insulin resistance because if we can understand insulin resistance then that's going to be the best way to fix diabetes type 2 diabetes heart disease going to make a big impact there fatty liver disease and slow down cancers
at the outset i just think that this is the nexus from which all diseases stand and therefore we are really making a mistake if we want to treat chronic diseases in their silos and just think about atherosclerosis and just think about cancer and just think about alzheimer's disease without understanding how these diseases are fed and unfortunately that means rolling up our sleeves and understanding insulin resistance there's simply no getting around this
and insulin resistance is really the driving factor of the downstream effects that ultimately lead to everything from fatty liver disease type 2 Diet abetes
Why is insulin resistance behind so many chronic diseases?
So to to some degree most chronic diseases can be connected back to insulin resistance and to me that has a a tremendous power.
I unapologetically embrace the view that to some degree insulin resistance is a common root cause for most chronic diseases. Obviously, type two diabetes, obesity is in there, Alzheimer's, fatty liver disease, infertility.
