Summary

What I find so funny about all this is how Western medicine has to give all these symptoms such grandiose names. In fact, Syndrome X isn't a "disease" as much as just a lifestyle imbalance: too many refined carbohydrates and not enough exercise. The result is a pattern of symptoms that has been named Syndrome X.

Diabetes is much the same: it's just the natural result of poor dietary and exercise habits. It isn't really a disease, it's just metabolic cause and effect. In a sense, giving it a name and calling it a disease takes away the power and responsibility from the patient, because thanks to the name, now it's suddenly a "disease" and not something that's your own doing.
