Leave some pips for the rest of us retailers. 
Hang on a minute! So you believe we went to the moon but you don’t even recognise the lunar lander?
Have you done any(even rudimentary) research into the Apollo missions.
Like do you know what a pressurised spacesuit should look like?
What it takes to create a vacuum - space is a vacuum.
do you not wonder how 3 men in pressurised suits could fit into the lander.
Do you know how hot and cold it gets on the moon?
Did the lander have air con or heating?
There is NO atnosphere on moon - do you know where the astronauts got their oxygen from during their moon walks?
DYOR or should I say do some research
Diabetes type 2 is caused by insulin resistance. Insulin is produced by the pancreas and increases in the presence of sugar in the blood. It sends the sugar to the cells, usually the liver or muscles to be converted into glycogen and stored for easy access. If those places are full then to the fat cells. The problem is the cells ignore the insulin messenger and the sugar stays in the blood, hence an increase in blood glucose levels. Why do the cells ignore insulin (resistance)? Because they have been constantly bombarded and switch off. So to combat insulin resistance, quit sugar and carbs (which get converted very easily to sugar) and fast. That gives the cells a rest. Taking drugs to stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin or to inject insulin making the message to cells stronger would in the long run just make things worse.
Amino acids (proteins) on their own raise insulin levels only ever so slightly, nothing to be concerned about. However carbs in the presence of amino acids would spike insulin twofold than just the carbs alone. For example, a burger in a bread bun.
This is not to advocate eating lots of meat and no carbs. Meat is high in omega 6. The typical ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 in western diets is between 12 and 25 to 1. Optimally it should be 1:1.

Low-Fat Diet Alone Reversed Type 2 Diabetes in Mice

The reentry capsule and the lunar lander are two different things.
Your cartoon drawings are not photographs of actual Apollo equipment.
Try again.
So those fat calories were not replaced by sugar calories? Sounds like simple eating less helped. What about frequency of the meals? If less frequent then fasting would have helped.
Obviously people and the food industry have low fat as their mantra since 20 odd years ago, replacing fat with sugar and carbs instead. So is there less diabetes now? Uh oh. Guess what, even replacing sugar with chemicals don’t work either, but that’s another story.

… oh for fuck’s sake
Didn’t you read my post above? Where I erroneously said that I have been to the Kennedy Space Centre? Well actually it was the Johnson Space Center in '93 … sorry, my bad. At that Space Center they have a complete Saturn-5 laid out on the grass. It was put there after the Apollo 13 near-disaster so that engineers could actually fiddle with the real kit whilst the guinea pigs were allegedly in space.
Dotted along the verge of the walkway are placards which reveal information about the part of the SV which is before you. TBH the capsule was not of interest to me, I have seen a Gemini (?) capsule … that is small. Also in the British Science Museum is/was the steering gear from a V2, an interesting muse …
At the Johnson Space Center there was also a mock-up of the Shuttle which never took any astronauts into space because it blew up with a teacher and a few other civilians on board. The under-water practice chambers were there which were used to imagine how a satellite might be deployed from the Shuttle, also a huge vacuum chamber for testing the equipment to make sure it could survive in a vacuum. I believe that 48-hours was the minimum in-vacuum test interval.
… only 2 men went into the lander.
Trans fat and margarine are two major reasons for diabetes II, I suppose.
In Australian Nexus Magazine, there was an article some years ago about a guy who reversed diabetes II by using olive oil.
If pancreas is infested with parasites called pancreatic flukes, it cannot produce insulin. Kill the vermin, you get the pancreas going again.
So do you think a tourist day trip to the Johnson space centre counts as in depth research?.
Presumably on that day trip you would have gained enough knowledge to answer ssome of my q’s - like what they were breathing on the moon or was the air con efficient enough to cope with +100 degrees C???
I got those drawings from NASA so maybe you could post your version for us?
You ask such stupid questions. Why do you expect anyone to waste time talking with you?
Scuba dive much?
Here ya go…

That is what drives me crazy.
“Yes. We tested mice with the equivalent of eating 1,000 eggs per day. Our results are: eggs are bad for you”. 
I remember this woman who would not eat an avocado because it was “too high in fat”. I tried to explain to her that it is full of nutrition, etc. Nope wouldn’t touch it. “they’re fattening!” as she drank her Coke.

Replacing butter with margarine or vegetable oil. I never bought into that. I actually never (in spite of the craze) bought into anything manufactured over what came from natural ingredients or from nature.
If I cook, say a chicken, I use the bones to make broth and freeze it. Add it to rice for flavor or anything that calls for chicken broth. None of those flavor cubes.
Bone marrow soup is excellent as well. I make my own version with fresh beef and vegetables, herbs, garlic. Marrow bones are bought grass fed, antibiotic, hormone free.
The bone marrow soup is chock full of nutrition and healthy fats. Just a bowl will keep you full for several hours whereas some kinds of foods you’ll be hungry again, eat and consume twice the calories.
…and I remember a report years ago saying that bacon could cause cancer. What they didn’t say was that you’d have to eat about 80 pounds of burnt-to-a-crisp bacon in one day to get near the doses they gave the mice to produce tumors.

Exactly. That is why (no pun intended) I take what these “experts” have to say with a grain of salt.

The real TV channels are running lots of ‘moon’ stuff at the moment. The other day there was a documentary supplemented with cockpit chatter from Apollo 11 which (allegedly) had not been broadcast before.
Don’t be silly, they simply opened the door to let the air circulate.

That is another success story then for the food and pharma industries. Where’s the profit in avocados?
Why do you Yanks always mention grass fed? Aren’t cows meant to eat grass? They’re out there munching grass… no such thing as grass fed here, because it is just assumed.
When I buy bones, I roast half for the dog and I chuck the rest into a broth too and simmer them for about 4 hours along with Chinese soup ingredients (dried, comes in packets but you have to buy from an Asian supermarket) You get tonic mixes, all sorts. There is cordeceps which is a mushroom known for its ability to enhance aerobic performance. Chinese athletes use it - not really cheating then, lol.
