WE HAVE A GLOBAL EPIDEMIC ON OUR HANDS, or glands, to be precise-specifically the pancreas, one of the "sweetbreads," a gland deep in the abdomen. It's home to the Islets of Langerhans-which sounds like a desirable flying destination, but are the cells where insulin is made. This hormone, and the effect it has on the human body, is our destination today. So, brakes, contact, and chocks away. Humans must consume a balanced diet in order to fly (and do other stuff people do), which includes carbohydrates, protein, and more. Without sugarcoat-ing this, consuming huge amounts of sweet food-and huge amounts of any food-has contributed to the increased incidence of diabetes mellitus, a condition in which either not enough insulin is made or cells are resistant to its effect.
