Somewhat related post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42625193 It seems like having sugary drinks is not just bad for you, but like really bad for you.

40g of sugar in one can of soda is pancreatic terrorism.

I always wonder why I see “quit smoking” PSAs on TV, but not for sugar bombs like soda or even Starbucks fraps.

It would be interesting to analyze a dataset of commercially sold prepared "coffee" drinks from vendors like Starbucks to see how many are actually coffee, versus coffee-flavored soft drinks, and how this changed over the last few decades.

Given that this is an association study, I like to interpret it as if you drink coffee and you often add sweetener, you may be more likely to develop type w diabetes than others who drink coffee and don't add sweetener.

Not adding sweetener because it's associated with type 2 diabetes is probably less protective than being the type of person who naturally didn't add sweeteners.

Sugar in my soda, cream in my coffee thanks.

I kind of wonder if this is just caffeine and higher metabolism, weight loss. Like caffeine might work. but meth might work too.

Yo, Mr. White

Meth might reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes but it has all kinds of other side effects.

Coffee reduces risk of Type 2 Diabetes; okay to add cream, but not sweetener.

What?, no, it is not ok to add cream or sweetener. It is permissible to add more coffee, a "shot in the dark", coffee with a couple of shots of espresso, or just a mug of espresso. Fresh made,carefully selected beens roasted by obsessives,stove top espresso machine that isn't parsimonious, and produces a full measure, once a day, early in the day. The idea of anything else, produces in me what must be like a gallick umbrage, but of course not so all encompassing and consuming as bieng french.
