Insulin

I see that you recently reverted some edits on the Insulin page. I'm not clear on whether you had some form of robotic system doing that, but I wanted to let you know that the entry regarding the Greatest Canadian Invention was not intended as vandalism. While it is not scientific content, I felt that it was a worthy addition to the article. I'll leave it to your discretion as to whether it should be put back. Aphenry 04:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes I do use popups to do reverts, my issue with the addition is that insulin is not an invention! It is a natural protein, while recombinant forms of insulin and the expression systems were invented, insulin itself was not. Secondly, citing a TV show is a bit of a stretch for a scientific article. If the journal Science named Insulin most important protein of 2005 than it May be worthy of mentioning in the article, then again it may not it really depends on the value added to the article.
