Diabetes News

A study suggests that the hormone leptin helps correct diabetes, and that "leptin's antidiabetic effects are independent of the hormone's well-known ability to reduce body weight."

Of course, years of testing stand between this finding and a dream come true for millions who have diabetes, and leptin isn't absorbed through the digestive tract so a miracle pill seems unlikely.

Other studies have shown that fake fructose reduces circulating insulin and leptin, another reason to avoid high fructose corn syrup, but again, smart people already do.
