Default Visceral Fat And Insulin Resistance Not Obesity Increases Risk of Diabetes

* There were no associations between prediabetes or diabetes incidence
with general markers of obesity, such as body mass index (BMI) or
total body fat

* Having excess visceral fat and insulin resistance, but not being
obese in and of itself, puts heavier patients at risk for prediabetes
and diabetes, researchers found.

Visceral fat = "wheat belly"

I would love to see the studies that show that visceral fat is
specific
to wheat, as opposed to other causes, including refined carbs from
sources other than wheat.

As for insulin resistance being correlated with pre-diabetes and
diabetes, wow, this is news?
