Last week, Dr. Barry Sears, creator of the Zone Diet, offered a surprisingly simple solution to the financial dilemma that the medical insurance industry faces: Reduce silent inflammation (the cause of many chronic diseases) using the combination of the Zone Diet and high-dose fish oil.

"Type 2 diabetes is the wildcard that threatens future healthcare costs and silent inflammation is at the root of diabetes. The greatest threat might be the younger population in which obesity and type 2 diabetes are growing at epidemic rates," said Dr. Sears.

Sears spoke to leading executives in the health insurance industry at the America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) conference who meet once a year to discuss how to contain the growing impact of healthcare on the economy.
