Overconsumption of alcohol and processed sugar causes insulin resistance, which leads to diabetes type 2. Every article and paper you read will tell you that sugar, and alcohol doesn't cause diabetes, yet these same articles go on to say that sugar and alcohol are the biggest risk factors for insulin resistance, which is basically diabetes. I guess they can't say that the sugar you are consuming is leading you to diabetes, because then nabisco and cokecain cola's profits would decrease. Doctors won't tell you that processed sugar will cause diabetes because they have a financial incentive to you having diabetes. They then get to sell you petrochemical drugs to manage your condition.

The fact of the matter is high blood sugar means you are diabetic. High consumption of sugar is like any other drug, you need to take more and more to get the same effect, this conditions your body to become insulin resistant. If you constantly consume sugar, your body has to pump out insulin to keep the sugar in check. Eventually your body becomes used to your new insulin baseline, and your cells need even more for it to function normally.

Cutting nearly all processed sugar from my diet was the best thing I ever did for my health. There is no way in hell that sugar doesn't cause diabetes, if diabetes is a disease of insulin resistance, and over-eating sugar causes insulin resistance, then sugar is the cause for diabetes. It is not the direct cause, but it is the underlying and primary reason for it developing in one's body.

Denying the role sugar plays in diabetes and insulin resistance is an insult to anyone's intelligence. The sugar you consume raises your blood sugar, more consumed sugar, higher blood sugar, higher blood sugar means more insulin. More insulin means your body is less sensitive to it, less insulin sensitivity = diabetes.

Why does every article you can read, try to sell you on the fact that sugar does not cause diabetes, then saying avoiding processed sugar is the best way to lower your risk of diabetes?

Maybe it's the people writing the articles, maybe if you look at the last names of the people writing these articles you'd notice a coincidence.
