  Mexican-Americans are diagnosed with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) 
two to three times more frequently than are non-Hispanic white (NHW) 
Americans.  A new research study that compares behavioral, metabolic, 
and molecular behavior between Mexican-Americans and NHWs addresses 
reasons why public health officials need to act on this potential 
problem now.  Study findings also can provide an important 
problem-solving first step that could easily be undertaken by school 
systems, restaurants, and other institutions that serve this group.
