The reason, only now becoming clear, is that fat cells around the stomach are different from fat cells elsewhere. The unwanted chemicals they pump out can damage the insulin system, raising the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

Professor Barnett and his colleagues have been in the forefront of the growing understanding that fat cells around the waistline are not simply passive lumps of lard, but are highly active, producing and pumping out proteins and hormones.

Fat cells are producing hormones and proteins? Oh, so fat cells are now glands? And producing proteins? Is this some other species of human we're not aware of?
These geniuses have determined that the cause of insulin resistance is being fat, not the foods that caused you to get that way. So according to them, all you have to do is lose the waist body fat in any way, and that will eliminate the insulin resistance.
Boy, it must be a blast these days in academia. Being able to get tenure and draw a nice salary for life. And just sit around and make things up--and people believe you because you're a "scientist."
