"Quantity of sugar in food supply linked to diabetes rates, researcher says

Does eating too much sugar cause diabetes? For years, scientists have said “not exactly.” Eating too much of any food, including sugar, can cause you to gain weight; it’s the resulting obesity that predisposes people to diabetes, according to the prevailing theory.

But now the results of a large epidemiological study suggest sugar may also have a direct, independent link to diabetes. Researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine, the University of California-Berkeley and the University of California-San Francisco examined data on sugar availability and diabetes rates from 175 countries over the past decade. After accounting for obesity and a large array of other factors, the researchers found that increased sugar in a population’s food supply was linked to higher diabetes rates, independent of obesity rates. Their study was published Feb. 27 in PLOS ONE."

En intressant artikel på svenska dök upp när jag letade efter den här artikeln, ett PDF-dokument med en artikel ur Läkartidningen från 2004, skrivet av Stephan Rössner. Kanske det ändå inte är någon bra idé att stå på huvudet och trycka i sig hallonbåtar medan man joddlar eller hur det nu var?
