This article provides a review of current literature examining the presence of toxins in traditional foods and the environment as possible risk factors for type 2 diabetes in Indigenous populations in Canada. The author finds some evidence that toxins found in the environment interfere with the functioning of the pancreas' islets of Langerhans cells, which affects inusulin production, but more research is required.
