Researchers are making it sound like smoking causes diabetes. I don't think so, I believe its diet and obesity. Of these smokers and those exposed to second hand smoke, how many had a poor diet and are obese? The article did not identify the people participating in the research.
I have not seen a single report that did not make me question the methodology of the research.
I woulda thought inheritance and obesity are causes. Second hand smoke = emphysema. Steel mills and 3 electric coal buring plants = asthma in 50% of our school children.
yes, you go EPA. Telling us that it is OK to stop testing our air and water quality here.
Campaign contributions do matter and have a quick and direct effect.
And the witch hunt continues.
I don't suppose they tested the millions of tons of crap that's belched out of SUVs for this test?
Our automobile and pick up trucks are tested every two years. This program is privatized but paid for by state and federal. I do know that one American diesel engine manufacturer is spending 2 million dollars each day to improve its clean air - and it already is better than anyone else.
I have wondered if clusters of certain ailments are directly related to vehicle emissions or a particular water source or trace elements or buried bad stuff from long ago, unmarked and forgotten.
I woulda thought smokers would acquire diabetes at a higher percentage than those who acquire from 2nd hand cigarette . Sarcasm from a crumudgeon who thinks this write up is bogus science. Talk about blowing smoke!
