How Addictive Is Sugar, Really?

Does eating too much sugar cause diabetes?

Many people have been told from a young age that they should not consume too much sugar or they pose a risk to themselves of getting diabetes. But is this just a myth like the rest of these?

Well, having a diet with high levels of sugar can definitely influence one's susceptibility to diabetes; however, both types of diabetes stem from both genetics and environmental factors. In other words, having too much sugar cannot directly cause diabetes on its own.
