    Great presentation by @DrAlanWBarclay tonight at the Western Sydney Diabetes nutrition forum Key take-homes: - sugar isn't causing diabetes - reducing sugar intake causes weight loss through reduction of calories - this can be done with intense (artificial) sweeteners safely

        Also - low-carb diets are great... - ...but unlikely to be much greater than similarly low calorie high carb diets - whatever works best for the individual!

        Primarily an increase in population weight, but pinning down a single cause of obesity is extremely challenging. Likely due to increased overall calories from many sources

        Actually, it doesn't look like @SandroDemaio is saying that sugar intake directly causes diabetes there, but that excess intake of calories through sugar can be a problem, which is in fact almost precisely what Dr. Barclay said as well

        Sugar does not cause diabetes? Calories do? How? Calories are not some sort of thing floating around doing work. Calories aren't even a 'thing'. And you can eat artificial sweeteners, safely? The key take-home: don't trust him, at all.

        This is so much nonsense. I've just unfollowed this so called "health" nerd.

        another thought for @GidMK: calories are a measure of the energy in molecular bonds. It is about the molecular interaction. Fat molecules do not increase insulin levels; carb calories do. A calorie is not a calorie. Only the sugar industry says that.
