but there is a link between diet and diabetes bleached breads cause diabetes and things of that sort bread acts as sugar when it is digested so how have u proved that eating alot of sugar dosent go along with diabetes?

Firstly, Try Googling 'Does sugar cause diabetes', there are are many many studies regarding this myth...

As OmniPetra clearly states, there is however a link between obesity and diabetes type 2...thus you can develop diabetes from eating too much fat for example, not because fat causes diabetes but simply because too much saturated fat would almost certainly make you obese and this in turn would increase the probability of developing diabetes...because insulin resistance is increased in the presence of fat...

Some people also have pancreatic issues that can increase the possibility of the onset of diabetes, that have nothing to do with the amount of sugar they have consumed...for example there are certain drugs that are toxic to these cells thus the production in the pancreas can become inhibited, all leading to rising blood sugar...

The real point is this, a high calorific intake, usually combined with inactivity is what generally causes obesity in individuals, this coupled with genetic factors and various other factors as mentioned above can lead to the onset of diabetes...

In terms of the food eaten, yes highly refined carbohydrates do indeed sugar in the body but some foods obviously sugar at a slower rate than others, even foods that sugar slowly, if eaten in large quantities will cause something similar to what can be thought of as an 'overload', try looking for GI and GL, this will exaplain it in more detail...

To sum up...Sugar itself does not cause diabetes, highly refined carbohydrates however do have a large role in this, eating too many of these along with such things as too much saturated fat can cause obesity, together with other factors they add to the probability of an individual developing Diabetes at some stage...

All of this information is widely available on the internet...

Refined sugar (as well as corn syrup) is a highly processed fake food that is devoid of vitamins and did not exist in the human diet until very recently. It's not a good idea, whether or not it directly causes diabetes.

The place I work has been very hard pressed for everyone to be at the BMI level. They keep expressing how important loosing weight is. I weighed 125 pounds until I got pregnant with my first child. I have put on over 100 lbs in the last 14 years. My job keeps telling me how unfit I am and recommending I join their weight loss program the have. But, I feel fine I have passed our health screens we have here with flying colors every year. No high chlesterol(i know I spelled that wrong sorry, no high blood pressure, and no sign of diabeties. However when I was 125 pounds I used to get fainting spells all the time and my doctor said it was due to low blood sugar. I had to deal with that for years. When I started gaining that weight all of that went away. Now I feel perfect and unlike most of the people I work with who are over their BMI I like my body. I've been raised to love myself. So I'm wondering if the hype of BMI is over rated!!!

I feel the whole "BMI" crap is total BS. They should be going more off of body fat %, not some random number. There are a ton of people out there who eat VERY healthy, exercise, lift weights.. etc. But because they are more muscular than an average person, their BMI is going to possibly be higher than what is recommended. Even though, they are probably healthier than someone who doesn't eat much and is just skinny/fat, but the skinny/fat person will fit in their BMI standard... without actually being the healthy one. LAME! However, in that same sentence, being over weight/obese is extremely unhealthy. I have watched a lot of people I loved die because they were overweight their whole lives. Loving yourself shouldn't be about only you, it should also be about the people around you. Keeping yourself healthy to be around for your loved ones for a long time is important. As well as keeping the quality of your life good. No one should dislike or judge you because of your weight, but being "fat" is not a good thing for YOU. I agree that "BMI" is dumb, and we should use a different measuring system.. (I have been over my BMI when I was pretty close to contest ready for a figure show... so I know it isn't what they make it out to be.)But, even not going off of BMI you should be able to judge if you are over weight or not. Being over weight is pretty much the #1 killer of people...from disease it creates. So watching your weight is important. And I'm not trying to be rude, at all, but I think a lot of times people use the phrase "I love myself the way I am" is their cop out from doing something about their current situation. I don't think anyone wants to be over weight, they simply don't want to put in the effort it takes to fix it. And believe me, I know the effort it takes... so I don't blame them. And maybe it's not why you are saying it, but really think about it.

Well I have to disagree if just being over weight kills people than over half the people in the United States would be dead. I have a lot of over weight people in my life some well into their 80's. I know a lot of over weight people none who have died from it. Go figure. Did the people who you know die from some condition. I have never heard of anyone dying of fat. Every condition now a days is always blamed on peoples weight. Loving yourself is also not jumping on bandwagons or latest craze. This new push for diet is just another way for someone to get rich. If you love yourself most likely you do care about the people around you so you keep yourself informed, do whats right for you and your loved ones.
