I was watching an episode of "60 Minutes" (CBS television), and there was a segment on the science of sleep. The point was made that glucose metabolism is often disrupted if a person does not get enough sleep, which the "experts" thought could or would eventually lead to type 2 diabetes (if the person continued to get too little sleep, of course). My thought was that this is a great way to test the "essential fatty acid" notion, because it's highly unlikely that this glucose metabolism problem would occur in a person who is eating a diet like mine and has Mead acid in his or her cells (if the same kinds of experiments were done as those in the show). |
