An intriguing metaphor and a perfect description of the understanding of things 45 years ago.
Now we add glucagon, incretins, somatostatin, amylin, the un-named 36-amino-acid pancreatic polypeptide, and our good buddy leptin, and there also seems to be an inflammatory process involving nerves and the pancreas.
So your metaphor is like the Reagan era "Drugs r bad" animated special shown in health class, while it really needs to be much more complicated and exciting and cerebral, like the show that they intended to make but ended up making Miami Vice instead.
