I couldn't say for certain, but I do see that as a threat as well. I will say, among the people I know who have diabetes, only 1 is known for having a taste for sweetened beverages. I think what you're saying plays a role, but how do we explain the many who don't drink sugar water on a regular basis? For me, it seems like there's only a few ingredients in our food that make it through a broad spectrum of Western diet/culture, and of those ingredients only 1 seems to be eligible.

But obviously, the distribution of that consumption is much lumpier than that, and is presumably biased towards people with metabolic syndrome.
