DIABETES: WHAT WE KNOW AND WHAT WE DON'T

 

Missing from your otherwise comprehensive article on diabetes [ " The

Covert Plague, " December]

 

was any mention of studies showing that chemicals

can produce insulin resistance in animals at levels of exposure lower

than found in most people.

 

A recent Centers for Disease Control study found that

bisphenol A

was present in the urine of 95 percent of people tested. This

indicates

a

continuous and ubiquitous exposure of the population to bisphenol A

from the

linings of cans, polycarbonate plastic bottles and containers, and

possibly

dental sealants.

 

Interestingly, bisphenol A also produces insulin resistance in

animals.

 

Perhaps we should think beyond diet and exercise.
