    I have type 2 diabetes and much the same thing applies to me. On average people who are overweight and not very active are most likely to get it, I was neither but still did.

    People who believe everything they think, are more likely to be wrong.

    Perhaps bloggers have a selfish reason for tardiness in updating, JuliaM. The additional hits, perhaps?

    Or maybe it's that thing called 'having a life', MTG?

    "...And these people can vote...!"

    The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

    "Anecdotes trump facts."

    In the 'Guardian', yes. But only if they are the right anecdotes.

    "On average people who are overweight and not very active are most likely to get it, I was neither but still did."

    No-one seems to understand the term 'on average' either!

    Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.
