"If
the rest of the world adopted the CDC's pre-diabetes classification,
half of China would suddenly have this new medical condition. In the
United Kingdom, the National Health Service would suddenly have 500
percent more diabetes-related patients. Yet in other countries, people
at those lower hemoglobin A1c levels don't show a significant
progression to diabetes at all. If a diabetic medical condition exists
only for Americans, it is not a medical condition."
" - - - in order for it to be a true medical designation, it would have to have clinical relevance."
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
