Added Sweeteners in Processed Foods Tied to Diabetes

A large body of evidence from animal studies and observational and clinical trials in humans suggests that eating processed foods with added sweeteners is contributing to the growing incidence of type 2 diabetes, a new review, published onlineJanuary 29 in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, concludes.

This “is the first comprehensive literature review showing that even when keeping calories the same (ie, isocaloric exchange of starch for sugar), sugar is worse at promoting diabetes and the associated morbidity (neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy) and premature mortality,” lead author Dr James J DiNicolantonio (Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute, Kansas City, Missouri) told Medscape Medical News.
