This seems to be saying fast food hamburgers are a much bigger cause of type 2 diabetes than the soda. Not what I assumed, though does reflect those I know with type 2 diabetes now that I think about it.
The journal article breaks it down semi geographically, and call Western Europe and North America "high income countries." Probably a better term than "Western countries," but looks out of place between "Central/Eastern Europe and Central Asia" and "Latin America and the Caribbean."

- bombcar 3y agoEven something like "ice cream" can be a very basic milk/cream/salt or something with sugar or something whose list of ingredients would make a petroleum engineer blush and run.

- bobthepanda 3y agoThe problem with 'high income countries' is that, well, East Asia exists. TBH, they should probably break down East Asia into China, the rest of East Asia, and SEA. That's a huge lump of very wildly varying peoples.
