Maybe mitochondria were seeded on earth by grabby aliens


Pretty rude of them to bring us here and not leave a note


For type 2 diabetes, a plant-based diet is the way to go for prevention, management and even reversal: https://www.pcrm.org/health-topics/diabetes


You can't reverse type 2 diabetes. Using terms like "reversal" are insulting at best. Sure, you can suppress symptoms (ie management) if you were to change your diet back to what it was, the symptoms come right back.


I don't understand your objection. Of course it has to be a permanent lifestyle change. It's like if I give myself a headache by hitting myself in the head with a hammer, and then I stop doing that of course the headache will go away. But if I start hitting myself again the headache will return.


My objection is that you are not reversing anything, you are treating it.

Do you "cure/reverse" bradycardia and heart block by getting a pace maker? no you treat it.

By your definition you cure/reverse any condition by taking a medicine/getting a treatment for the rest of your life.

Also...Clinically, most people who can treat type 2 diabetes with diet when they are younger, still have to go on some sort of medication (metformin) when they get older, even if their diet stays clean.


Cure and reversal are different. It is possible to reverse type 2 diabetes to the point where medicines are no longer required to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. I agree that staying on the diet is key. It works best as a permanent lifestyle change.


reversal and cure should be synonymous. to reverse something, would mean that you go to a state where you can do whatever and it not affect you. The correct term is treat it with diet, its still a condition you have.

When I was diagnosed with t1d at the age of 24, I can't count on 1 hand how many people told me that I can "reverse" it by (going low carb/eating gluten free/eating cinnamon). I know we are talking about type 2 diabetes in this case, but


All in with Angular 2 using the angular-cli. TypeScript, everything is a component, good fit for enterprise projects, quickly on-board new developers.


Hey - just curious - I love the Angular CLI, but since they hide the main webpack config I'm wondering how you deal with customizing that? Heard a few approaches, I'm interested in your solutions (if any).
