Type 2 diabetes may partially be blamed on cholesterol

Although cholesterol (bad cholesterol, like HDL) may be bad for your heart, how about it being partially responsible for diabetes? A new study out of Canada suggests that cholesterol regulation may be responsible for Type 2 diabetes.

Although the study was conducted on mice, it could open a new window into the treatment, prevention and control of Type 2 diabetes.

Although there are quite a few "diseases" that can be traced back to bad lifestyle choices, there are quite a few that are just the result of bad luck. But, by controlling the cholesterol levels in your body using the best nutrition and lifestyle choices that are associated with eating and drinking well, the late onset of diabetes may be just another condition that can be prevented.
