"Close to 90 percent of all coronary death could be prevented if the cholesterol was kept below 182 mg/dL, blood pressure under 120 mmHg, and no smoking or diabetes."
Considering high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and smoking all are risks for diabetes and that heart disease is the number one killer in America, this is saying a lot. Imagine if death by heart disease were cut by 90 percent... American and the world would live far longer on average and live much healthier lives.
It is also fairly easy to argue that if we cut all of these problems and actually started to prevent heart disease we might also see a remarkable reduction in people with type-2 diabetes.
