The source of insulin is not an issue. The amount of the insulin mediated iron absorption is the critical matter. The higher levels of ambient insulin levels prevent fat burning, turn glucose into triglycerides, and increase the rate of excess intracellular iron loading that is the underlying cause of virtually all of the inflammatory/degenerative disease. Fat people are insulin resistant and have significantly higher levels of ambient insulin sloshing around than do skinny young athletes.
Thank you both very much. Very interesting thoughts that bring up other questions. Gonna have to percolate on this one (coffee is NOT a problem!)
Oh, crap, does that make me a nerd too!?
