當時身為年輕的外科醫師, Peter Attia 輕視一位有糖尿病的患患。她當時過重，他認為並決定這位女士需要足部截肢。但幾年後， Attia 罹患了一個令人驚訝的症狀，迫使他去思考：我們對糖尿病的觀念正確嗎？會不會導致糖尿病的前因也導致了肥胖症，而不是肥胖所導致？讓我們來看看，現在的假設如何導致我們打了一場錯誤的醫療戰爭？

Thousands of lean people suffer metabolic disease, while millions of obese individuals remain metabolically healthy. Shifting the focus from fat itself to what causes insulin resistance could transform both medical treatment and societal attitudes.
