They can also cure cancer in mice nearly 100% of the time. Call me when there’s successful human trials.

If only we could quit making mice sick in labs, there would be no need to cure them.

I know many people who have cured their diabetes with diet and exercise, not “magic bullets” from the local pharmacy. Imagine that.You're talking about Type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease which usually strikes in childhood. It's related to MS and autoimmune thyroid disease (the cause, not the symptoms). In Type 1 diabetes the islet cells (insulin producing cells) are destroyed by the body's own immune system.
It can't be caused by a bad diet and exercise and is nobody's fault.

Type II diabetes is usually an condition of excess calories and resistence to the insulin the body continues to make, completely different diseases.To be fair, you can be thin or of average build and develop Type 2 diabetes. Genetics plays a large part in that. (Obesity doesn't help the situation.)

The key point is insulin resistence, which is usually related to diet but yes to be fair, there are a couple of thin people with type II diabetes out there.

Next we spend millions of dollars on ED medicine for mice. I can see the mice sitting in bathtubs watching the sunset now.

I wasn’t being an ass to you, I just think researchers too often tout something as the next wonder drug before it’s time.
Have a great weekend!
