why aren't people boycotting insulin or lipitor from big pharma?
1% death rate is pretty bad for a single disease everyone is going to get eventually. And the hospitalization rate is much higher than 1%

His daughter polices his diet carefully, he hides candy bars and other goodies, it's an amazing struggle. Can you cite any studies that clearly state it is "relatively easy to fix type 2 diabetes"? "
