Not really, you're now linking the 'inflammation' described in this article to heart attacks. Surely that'd be a bigger story?
From the 'article' you linked to:
> Obesity and its constant companion, type 2 diabetes, are at epidemic proportions in this country. One thing that connects them is inflammation.
How is this not a most blatant case of 'correlation vs causation'? We know the causes of obesity AND type 2 diabetes. Surely inflammation, a cellular immune thing ... is just a correlating factor?
