I would like to wish everyone a belated Merry Christmas or a happy whatever holiday each of you celebrates at this time of year. We have had such a houseful of guests, kids, and grand kids that we (I, at least) haven’t had a chance to even think about hitting the computer.

Merry Christmas Dr. Eades.
I did not see a contact link on your sight so I would like to ask a question here in the comments. I have been debating a guy on another message board on the causes of diabetes. I contend that it is an overconsumption of carbohydrates that is causing the large increase in diagnoses and he is arguing that it is fat consumption and the increase in obesity caused by fat consumption that is causing the increase. I have done a search of the web and can find no human studies that support the theory that fat consumption causes obesity or diabetes. Are there any such studies out there? I found many health sits that make the statement that fat consumption is the cause but they do not site any studies to back up there contentions. As far as non-human studies there is a new one out that I was wondering if you could comment on. Here is the link:

Thanks
And the same salubrious wishes to you, MD, & your growing family — thanks for all you do that benefits all of us out here in the world!
