Thai and Australian scientists claim to have found the ultimate cause (and cure) of type 2 diabetes.
In the journal Nutrition & Diabetes, they demonstrate that the consumption of a specific drink is the greatest culprit of type 2 diabetes … even bigger than obesity.
And by cutting out this drink (that almost everyone drinks), you may be able to reverse the disease.
Researchers analyzed data collected in the Thai Cohort Study, which obtained health information from 87,151 students via questionnaires.
The first questionnaire was sent in 2005, after which two follow-ups were sent in 2009 and 2013.
The questions included (among other things) consumption of soda drinks, body weight and type 2 diabetes.
Results: High consumers of soda beverages were much more likely than the non-consumers to have type 2 diabetes at the end of the study.
The connection between sugary drinks and type 2 diabetes was still strong even for those who were not overweight or obese. Which indicates that sodas caused the disease in a more direct way than just by increasing obesity.
Diet sodas also seemed to cause type 2 diabetes. Making them a little less healthy than sugary drinks.
Oddly, the association in men was a lot weaker than for women. Maybe because women need fewer calories than men.
But cutting out sodas is only one piece of the puzzle. Here are the 3 steps that thousands of readers have used successfully to reverse their type 2 diabetes in 28 days or less …
