When we eat more sugar, does that permanently affect our risk of getting diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but...: "Eat more sugar" means different things to different people. Humans over their millions of years of existence have not had much sugar at all in their diet, until the past 200 years or so. Thus, sugar and simple starches (we call them carbs) are very unnatural to human bodies. Our daily consumption of sugars gives us diabetes as we get older, sooner for those eating a lot of sugars or simple carbs.
