  You are correct, but… even though sugar doesn’t cause diabetes, it doesn’t mean we should hit up the candy store on a regular basis. Foods high in added sugar tend to have lower nutrient densities and therefore provide little nutritional value. Plus, eating a lot of high-sugar foods is associated with an increased incidence of obesity, which is one of the biggest risk factors for developing diabetes.

    But even that isn’t a good breakdown of the knowledge we have. Having wild intakes of high glycemic foods causes metabolic changes over time that do contribute to type 2 diabetes development.

    Correct. The important thing here is the difference between cause and factor.
