Consuming sugar in and by itself does not cause diabetes.
The correlation of sugar consumption with diabetes is almost always associated with those who are already morbidly obese, those who do no exercise and have other destructive diets, or who already have other health conditions such as alcoholism.

I'm sorry you are wrong, i became diabetic in my early teens. Wasn't diagnosed for years. Before I gained weight, It started to attack my Reproductive system, and for last ten years my body rarely made any estrogen. Because of the lack of estrogen, my metabolism stopped working hard. My adrenaline glands were even weakened.

I was diagnosed Type Two diabetic three years ago, and been on sugar pills since, wasn't until Last spring when MY obgyn put me on strong estrogen, I started losing weight naturally.

i lost over 60 pounds in less than 6 months, and for years before I took the estrogen, I had been walking 3-4 extra miles a nite, during the work week.

You are misinformed and uneducated bout diabetes and how people are individually, and UNIQUELY affected!

Plus there are other types of diabetes, where there's extreme weight loss, and low sugar. Mine will cause my organs, glands and senses to die slowly in my later years. Others could die instantly.

Since I started the estrogen, and losing weight, my diabetes is better controlled and for the first time in TEN YEARS I have no muscle fatigue, and I am working out and still losing weight. My joints no longer hurt, because of the lack of estrogen in my bones!

Well, it's hard (okay, next to impossible) to argue that long-term sugar consumption has no linkage with diabetes when your beta cells release insulin in response to sugar and your receptors become desensitized to insulin in the periphery. Exercise does help, of course.

That said, even following your line of reasoning, the odds of becoming morbidly obese increase 1.6 times for each can of sugar-conaining soda a child consumes in a day.
