“Eating sugar causes diabetes. While eating sugar doesn’t cause diabetes, it does make you fat and that increases your risk for the disease.”
I have to disagree with this one. Type 2 diabetes which is 95% of the total diabetes nationwide is most often preceded by insulin resistance which is caused in large part by a combination of obesity and high carbohydrate intake... sugar is what all carbohydrates are broken down into in the body. The more carbs/sugars introduced into the body the greater the amount of insulin required to be produced by the pancreas to compensate. Eventually the pancreas simply “burns out” from the ever increasing demand to produce greateramounts of insulin and diabetes is the result.
WHITE bread = sugar....but, many people do not know that....
