Sugar-Sweetened Beverages May Be the Leading Dietary Cause of Type 2 Diabetes

Millions of people worldwide suffer from type 2 diabetes, which is a widespread disease. Elevated blood sugar brought on by insulin resistance or deficiency characterizes it.

It is not unexpected that numerous studies have linked soda drinking to type 2 diabetes because excessive fructose intake may cause insulin resistance. In fact, it has been consistently shown that consuming even one can of sugary soda every day increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. The risk of type 2 diabetes rose by 1.1% for every 150 calories of sugar consumed daily, or roughly 1 can of soda, according to a recent study that examined sugar consumption and diabetes in 175 countries. To put that into perspective, 3.6 million Americans might get type 2 diabetes if the entire country consumed one additional can of soda each day.
