Soda Intake and Diabetes Rates Linked
There is a multitude of research to back the connection of sugar and fructose ingestion with diabetes rates. I found this chart (above) very interesting with regard to the connection – sorry for the poor clarity of the picture, but you can see the matching colors on the chart linking the highest rates of diabetes to the highest rates of ingestion of soda (read fructose and glucose). In the image below the chart plots the highest ingestion of sugar and sugar related products with the countries of the world. America has over 600 of their calories per day per person coming from sugar. Canada is not too far behind with 400-500calories. Not only are these calories void of nutrients, but hey are also reeking havoc with hormonal signalling (leptin and insulin resistance).
