Bob said "interesting history:
In 1929 Dr. Banting (discoverer of  insulin) said he felt the process of
refined sugar would cause diabetes and said if America did not lose its love
affair with refined cane & beet sugar diabetes would be in record amounts in
75 years. Dr. Banting could never prove exactly what in the extracting
process was the problem.
Diabetes is a huge problem today."

Hmm...in 1929 we did not have Zebra Mussells in the US, and we had few
Carniolans or Sculleta's.  Therefore, today's problems with diabetes must be
caused by Zebra Mussells, Carniolans or Sculleta?  I don't think so.

My understanding is that the principal reason for increased diabetes is the
increase in obesity.  IMHO, the increase in obesity is primarily because
EVERYTHING we eat seems to contain corn syrup.  From ice cream to ketchup to
canned tomatoes.  Bob sure knows more about making a living with beekeeping
than I ever hope to, but I'm not sure his analogies are always correct.
