Study Claims: Sugar Does Not Affect Diabetes
It seems that if you look hard enough, you can find 'evidence' to support any theory. A new study makes a surprising claim that most diabetes researchers will probably not agree with: that there is no direct link between diabetes and the much-maligned sugar.

The study found that none of the men experienced weight changes, irrespective of which group they were in. They also displayed no changes in their insulin resistance, which can be a precursor to diabetes.

"Sugar has traditionally been linked to the development of diabetes. These findings challenge that thinking and show that intakes of more than double that currently recommended do not appear to have an adverse effect on markers of diabetes risk", the researchers said.

Interesting, though of course no conclusions can be drawn from one small study. What do you think: is sugar villainized, or is it mostly to blame for Type 2 diabetes?
