Dr. Roy Taylor, of the Newcastle Diet fame is also professor of medicine and metabolism at Newcastle University, believes to have found a link between fat in the pancreas and type 2 diabetes.
“We have shown there is excess fat in the pancreas of people with type 2 diabetes, which is not present in people without diabetes.”, Professor Taylor was quoted. “If this special pool of fat is removed, then the pancreas can produce insulin normally and control sugar levels in the body.”
