Pauly, I think the underlying issues may be similar and also different at once. There are multiple causes of type 2 diabetes and type 1 and type 2 are caused by totally different things but in the end they lead to the same result. This is a really basic example as this is a well understood diagnosis. However, at the same time everyone reacts to diets differently. There is a vast spectrum of how people respond to food and even meds. I think it just goes to show that humans are much more complex than we would like to believe. One small shift in chemical or development from person to person is going to have a huge effect overall. It's almost like a butterfly effect, but with biology instead of time theory.

Yeah I understand. But that does not rule out the same pharmacological intervention to prevent type
1 or type 2 diabetes. Mental disorders may be drastically cut in the future by intervening in early child development in the womb and while the child is developing as a baby. Take for example choline , it seems may have inherited value to a baby in the womb.
Once any of these conditions become expressed and active , we maybe curtailed in our pharmacological response because the micro anatomy is already defined.
But I do believe that there will be medical interventions that will drastically cut mental illness rates in the future.
