You perfectly framed why it’s my belief this debate will rage on for 100-1000 years.
People irrationally get agitated and become sugar advocates when you explain the two truths:
1. 100% of T2D cases can be prevented through diet/lifestyle
2. Some T2D cases can be reversed (not a cure but getting off insulin) through diet/lifestyle
As you point out that the diet/lifestyle I am referring to consists of restricting carbs and sugars.
Unfortunately, that’s where people freak out and declare “sugar doesn’t cause diabetes” as if that’s well settled science - it’s not. Maybe sugar causes T2D or maybe it doesn’t, but it is immaterial to the point that it is established that sugar/carb restriction can prevent 100% of cases and is both practical and actionable for nearly everyone.
