Sugar is not a direct cause of diabetes. So you might want to rethink your analogies in future. https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/enjoy-food/eating

  Right ~ sugar, namely fructose, is an indirect cause of diabetes. Fructose over-consumption -> insulin resistance -> diabetes. Heart disease follows. Cholesterol is just the scapegoat for fructose over-consumption's horrifying effects. Cholesterol is used by the body to try and patch up all of the damage it causes. Cholesterol is used almost literally everywhere in the body, from hormones, to cell linings, etc.
