How fatty food triggers diabetes: Scientists believe discovery paves way for Type 2 'cure'

Fatty food trips a genetic switch in the body that can trigger diabetes, a study has found.

Understanding the biological pathway could lead to a potential cure for the disease, say scientists.

The discovery helps explain why Type 2 diabetes is so often linked to obesity.

In studies of mice and humans, researchers found that high levels of fat disrupted two key proteins that turn genes on and off...
