It's The Sugar That Causes The Metabolic Syndrome, Folks

It's The Sugar, Folks by Mark Bittman.  The New York Times.  February 27, 2013.

The February 27 issue of PLoS draws a direct line from the consumption of sugar to diabetes.  The remarkable thing about this study is that it satisfied a standard of medical causality (dose, duration, directionality, and precedence).  Significantly, Bittman points out that metabolic syndrome, not obesity, is the underlying cause of our current upswing of chronic disease.  Insulin resistance, perhaps related to consumption of added sugars, is the root cause.
