Has soft drinks led to the rise diabetes?

Answer 1

That and the general rise in obesity, yes.

Answer 2

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 3

You need to be very clear about the kind of diabetes you are talking about - type 2 diabetes which is largely caused by a combination of lifestyle and genetics is dramatically increasing, and soft drinks as part of a general worsening of diet in our modern societies could be partly to blame - but not drinking them doesn't mean that you definitely wont get type 2 diabetes, and drinking them doesn't mean that you definitely will! For type 1 diabetes, which is usually diagnosed in childhood, lifestyle has no significant correlation with diagnosis - the occurance of type 1 diabetes has been increasing since WW2 but the numbers affected are much lower than that of type 2 diabetes and we still don't know the cause (but it is nothing to do with soft drinks!).

Answer 4

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/0M425

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Answer 5

There's an ongoing debate that the sugar in fizzy drinks does not directly cause diabetes but it contributes to it by increasing body mass hence the rise indiabetes from excess sugar, high carbohydrates intake, wrong food combining and lack of exercise and enough water.So indirectly fizzy drinks has contributed to the rise in diabetes.

Answer 6

There is some research that tends to show that the increasing use of soft drinks is related to the rise in diabetes. However, our diet in general is so unhealthy that it is hard to point a finger at any one thing.

Answer 7

Coooo - good question! I'd say this & other factors to do with diet have lead to the rise in this disease. The biggest problem is aspartame which is added to many, many drinks - particularly diet ones, but it's in many foods as a cheaper alternative to sugar. You have to look at other factors like familial predisposition, age, weight - which could in itself be linked to diet. Generally, people don't care so well for themselves & eat the wrong foods in an attempt to keep up the 24/7 society that we find ourselves living now.

Answer 8

Most people are led to believe that 'diet' soft drinks are OK if you're a diabetic.
Sadly these drinks contain Aspartame and if you're diabetic it causes your blood sugar levels to go haywire. Sadly, most people still think aspartame is safe and sadly, they are risking their lives by drinking that toxic sludge.

Aspartame is a very dangerous substance and should only be used to wash the inside of drains with.

Answer 9

Regular soft drinks everywhere you look as well as a snack store at every gas station probably has helped diabetes become the epidemic that it is.
I once complained to my endocrinoligist that my grandparents on both sides ate sausages, eggs, head cheese, gravy, and on and on everyday for 90+ years and died of old age. I was 36 when I was diagnosed with diabetes and he simply asked, "how many big macs did your four grandparents eat in their entire life compared to you in one month?" Touche'.
The American diet is awful. I was one who drank big gulps 4 times a day, fast food for breakfast lunch and dinner with a pizza for late night snack. We eat too much in too big of portions and eat constantly. Soft drinks are just one of the variables that taste good but will end up killing us.

Answer 10

Not really. Diet soft drinks are not an issue although 'regular' soft drinks are rich in glucose (sugar). The rapid increase in diabetes is in no small part due to the rapid increase in the number of Latinos who are genetically predisposed but perhaps more directly related to an epidemic of obesity - obesity is defined by body mass index (BMI = weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) rather than weight itself. BMI goals for a Latino or someone of European descent (I am Italian) is less than 25. I drink diet 7UP with Splenda.

Answer 11

OK AS A DIABETES NURSE EDUCATOR I WANT TO INFORM YOU THAT SODA ORANGE JUICE GATORADE AND ANY OTHER DRINK WITH SUGAR OR SUGAR SUBSTITUDE ATTACKS THE PANCREAS AND CAUSES IT TO STOP PRODUCING INSULIN. LACK OF EXERCISE AND TOO MANY CARBS ENTERING THE BODY IS ANOTHER REASON. THEY SAY CATCHING A COLD OR A VIRUS CAN GO DIRECTLY TO THE PANCREAS AND DESTROY IT. IT CAN BE IN YOUR GENES. LAST, ANTIBIOTICS AND OTHER STRONG MEDICATIONS CAN RUIN THE PANCREAS OR OTHER ORGANS. I HOPE I GAVE YOU THE ANSWER YOU WERE LOOKING FOR. TAKE CARE
