 New Theory for Diabetes Epidemic (warning: rant)
Did anyone read this article about the "New theory for global diabetes epidemic", in which PCOS is used as a basis of the theory?

(I can't post URLs yet, remove the space after www)
Am I reading the article correctly? Are the authors saying that PCOS will reduce the "modern epidemics of diabetes and cardiovascular disease" in the coming decades because women with PCOS cannot (theoretically) reproduce?
Maybe it's scientifically correct, but GOD this article peeved me. They make it sound like PCOS is actually a 'good' condition because all insulin-resistant people will be breed out of existence. Hooray! I can't conceive a child, so humanity will be spared my imperfect insulin-resistant genes!
