-
True

Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
High sugar diet is a major cause of type 2 diabetes. Consuming excessive amounts of sugar can lead to weight gain and obesity, which are significant risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. When we consume too much sugar, our body becomes resistant to insulin, the hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. Over time, this can lead to the development of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, it is important to limit our intake of sugary foods and beverages to reduce the risk of developing this chronic condition.Rate this question:
