More than 100 million Americans have diabetes or are prediabetic[1]. The current scientific literature in cardiology suggests that insulin resistance is a key driver of cardiovascular disease[2]. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S.(outside of COVID for this year). You're right, the fact that there's no outcry about any of this is a shame, and really any effort to regulate this here is going to be met with a lot of resistance.
