so what your saying is tax everyone because a minority totally lack any form of self control?
It does have a lot to do with your sugar intake, but your body fat is just as much to blame, as a hormone produced by fat cells causes you to develop insulin resistance over time, 83% of American diabetics are obese, the more fat cells you have the quicker youll release enough hormone to make yourself diabetic, of course their are other factors as well, but that shouldnt let you ignore the overwhelming largest contributor (pun intended)

simply put if your fat youll get diabetes younger and more severely.
my dads got diabetes too.
