“Organic Oreos are not a health food. When Coca-Cola begins selling organic Coke, as it surely will, the company will have struck a blow for the environment perhaps, but not for our health. Most consumers automatically assume that the word "organic" is synomymous with health, but it makes no difference to your insulin metabolism if the high-fructose corn syrup in your soda is organic.”
― Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto

“Insulin is not a cure for diabetes; it is a treatment. It enables the diabetic to burn sufficient carbohydrates, so that proteins and fats may be added to the diet in sufficient quantities to provide energy for the economic burdens of life.”
― Frederick Grant Banting

“A story about the Jack Spratts of medicine [was] told recently by Dr. Charles H. Best, co-discoverer of insulin. He had been invited to a conference of heart specialists in North America. On the eve of the meeting, out of respect for the fat-clogs-the-arteries theory, the delegates sat down to a special banquet served without fats. It was unpalatable but they all ate it as a duty. Next morning Best looked round the breakfast room and saw these same specialists—all in the 40-60 year old, coronary age group—happily tucking into eggs, bacon, buttered toast and coffee with cream.”

“Das Insulin wirkt einerseits als Zellwachstumsfaktor, während andererseits das Ãœbergewicht selbst die Anzahl der Zellen erhöht â€� womit statistisch das Krebsrisiko steigt. Aus dem gleichen Grund erkranken große Menschen öfter an Krebs als kleine â€� sie haben einfach mehr Zellen.”

“Banting’s initial idea was neither original nor successful, but he persisted in it, and his persistence led to a solution that was both original and successful. He would later say that if he had been more familiar with the literature on the subject and had known about the previous attempts, he would not have pursued his idea at all. Fortunately [..] for millions of children, he knew next to nothing.”

“Insulin was now not only readily available, but also affordable. George Walden's improved methodology also allowed Eli Lilly and Company to reduce the price per unit several times after its introduction. Although Eli Lilly held the exclusive franchise of insulin production in the United States, the company was committed to keeping the price as low as possible so that it would be available to all diabetics.”

“The crucial point to understand, however, is not how insulin causes obesity, but that insulin does, in fact, cause obesity.
Once we understand that obesity is a hormonal imbalance, we can begin to treat it.”

“Was Arben alive when they brought him here, or had he lapsed into a diabetic coma? When the brain doesn't get enough glucose, or receives too much, it cannot function properly. The symptoms can appear slowly: an altered mental state, an inability to speak, drowsiness, weakness, headaches, restlessness, shaking, an irregular heartbeat, an eventually the loss of consciousness. If left untreated, it results in permanent brain damage and utlmately, death.”
