Discussion

David Russell (asker) Nov 28, 2023:
The patient has cancer
Lisa Rosengard Nov 27, 2023:
It's about carbohydrate consumption and weight distribution, metabolism rates and the effects on the heart and circulation.
I found 2 references, 1 which focuses on diabetes and the other focuses on women and the dietary effects of post-menopause.

"The Drug Enforcement Administration is finalizing a process of rule-making to designate 3 chemicals known as gycidate, glycidic acid and APAA as list 1 chemicals under the Controlled Substances Act."
