  Obesity and lack of exercise are risk factors for diabetes. Sugar is not thought to cause it, although there is some debate. From Diabetes UK [1]: > With type 2 diabetes, the answer is a little more complex. Though we know sugar doesn’t directly cause type 2 diabetes, you are more likely to get it if you are overweight. You gain weight when you take in more calories than your body needs, and sugary foods and drinks contain a lot of calories. WebMD [2]: > Eating too much sugar does not cause diabetes. Diabetes begins when something disrupts your body's ability to turn the food you eat into energy. Montreal Children's Hospital [3]: > True or False? Sugar causes diabetes. > False. It’s a common misunderstanding that sugar causes diabetes. It doesn’t.
