LMAO, apparently there's a major uproar about Biden calling an illegal immigrant an illegal immigrant. This is actually why we are completely unable to talk about shit that actually matters.
I believe my position to be correct. But i'm not using that as a premise for a supporting point.And you're assuming your position to be correct.
I don't want more speculation. Where's your evidence for this dramatic change after retirement, unique to that profession?People develop habits and it's hard to change. A sumo wrestler by sorta definition overeats so basic logic would say it's harder for them to eat normally compared to a normal person. And when you overeat in the normal world (outside the very strict sumo world), it's quite easy to over consume sugar.
It literally makes no sense for that study to involve young people. You were literally arguing that if they don't wrestle anymore, they aren't sumo wrestlers so that proves they were still wrestling!!!I believe my position to be correct. But i'm not using that as a premise for a supporting point.

....if we presume your position to be correct, which I don't. Young people can have diabetes. I literally know some of them.It literally makes no sense for that study to involve young people.
This is a strawman. I've been saying overeating sugar is not the primary risk factor. Sugar obviously still plays a role-- but people can have inadequate insulin and/or diabetes without a sugar intake that's well beyond average.Where's your evidence you can get diabetes through other means than not over consuming sugar?
I didn't say they couldn't. I said if you have a study full of young people for diabetes (or any other disease normally gotten later in life), you'd have a very small diabetes group to be able to find possible links/associations.....if we presume your position to be correct, which I don't. Young people can have diabetes. I literally know some of them.

Since evidence isn't required: being fat and sedentary.Just list another cause of diabetes then that doesn't involve consuming too much sugar and you've won the argument and proved me wrong.
OK. But if you want to look at how certain lifestyles/professions may impact diabetes risk, you're going to have to look at people living those lifestyles/professions.I didn't say they couldn't. I said if you have a study full of young people for diabetes (or any other disease normally gotten later in life), you'd have a very small diabetes group to be able to find possible links/associations.
It seems that all you really have any more is repeated insistence.Sugar is literally the direct/root cause of diabetes. If you don't over consume sugar, you don't get high blood sugar, you don't get inflammation, you don't get insulin resistance, you don't get diabetes. Sugar is literally the first step along the line of events that lead directly to diabetes.
This is like step 1 to figuring out something. You find an association so then you have a hypothesis that that thing causes XYZ, then you have to prove the hypothesis.OK. But if you want to look at how certain lifestyles/professions may impact diabetes risk, you're going to have to look at people living those lifestyles/professions.
It seems that all you really have any more is repeated insistence.
It's well documented that dozens of factors can influence the body's likelihood to develop insulin resistance. Diet is one of them-- but not required. Genetics, age, and (particularly) weight are also key indicators. Even pregnancy.
So, the sugar leads to high blood sugar. But that need not be through overindulgence. An average and normal amount of sugar, in a body that is incapable of properly accommodating it, will develop high blood sugar.
I mean, this isn't even really up for discussion. It's all well documented and medically undisputed.
All of which they've done. They know that diabetes is associated with being overweight. So they did a study to check if this pretty unique subset of people who are overweight also suffered from higher rates. And they found they did. That's valuable data, in helping to identify the relative severity of risk factors.This is like step 1 to figuring out something. You find an association so then you have a hypothesis that that thing causes XYZ, then you have to prove the hypothesis.
The causal relationship between obesity and insulin resistance is known and documented.Those are again associations not causes.
Everybody intakes sugar in some proportion, so this is meaningless.If you don't eat/drink foods with added sugars, you don't get high blood sugar.
They know diabetes is associated with being overweight, I didn't say that wasn't true. I said that being overweight isn't a cause of diabetes, you know the second thing to prove your hypothesis hasn't been done which you say "all of which they've done" and that isn't true.All of which they've done. They know that diabetes is associated with being overweight. So they did a study to check if this pretty unique subset of people who are overweight also suffered from higher rates. And they found they did. That's valuable data, in helping to identify the relative severity of risk factors.
Whereas you're speculating that they did a study specifically on retired sumo wrestlers, to investigate something that has nothing to do with their profession, and could've just been done with anyone.
The causal relationship between obesity and insulin resistance is known and documented.
Everybody intakes sugar in some proportion, so this is meaningless.
And yet, some people who eat no more than average still develop insulin resistance and diabetes. Which leaves your insistence that overindulgence of sugar is the only thing that causes diabetes untenable.
Say it with me again: risk factors are not direct causes.They know diabetes is associated with being overweight, I didn't say that wasn't true. I said that being overweight isn't a cause of diabetes [...]
Yet you are arguing that the factors that made this group particularly likely to develop diabetes had nothing to do with their profession.I said the study wasn't done on sumo wrestlers that are still wrestling. I never said it could be done on anyone.
Uh-huh, you can. But obesity is the greatest risk factor. Again: this is well documented and not seriously disputed.You can have insulin resistance and not even be overweight. It's just that the cause of insulin resistance usually also causes you being overweight.
"Added sugars", OK. And what do you actually mean by that? Which sugars? And why do people who don't eat any more 'added sugars' than average also develop diabetes?Notice how I said "added sugars" and not just sugar. That was the whole point of the orange example. Who has consumed the recommended amount of sugar and developed diabetes?
I said you were right about that... I said I don't care about associations unless they actually contribute to causing said thing. You said they proved that being overweight is causal, which isn't true.Say it with me again: risk factors are not direct causes.

Sugar and diabetes
You don’t need to cut out sugar from your diet if you have diabetes. And while we don’t know exactly what causes type 1 diabetes, but it isn’t linked to lifestyle, and so sugar doesn’t directly cause the condition. The question of whether sugar directly causes type 2 diabetes is a bit complicated.www.diabetes.org.uk
The mechanism by which obesity increases the risk of diabetes is known. That is true.I said you were right about that... I said I don't care about associations unless they actually contribute to causing said thing. You said they proved that being overweight is causal, which isn't true.
That would be the (speculative) reason. Yet the actual change-- the increased sugar intake-- would not be unique or even particularly specific to wrestlers. It would be a completely pointless restriction on the study; they could just study people who eat lots of sugar.I said it's hard for them to transition to a normal diet after wrestling, that seems to have at least something to do with their profession.
Again, not true.The mechanism by which obesity increases the risk of diabetes is known. That is true.

Here. Specifically talks about the mechanism behind the increased risk of diabetes from obesity.Again, not true.
It also covered several other metabolic complications of obesity. Please tell me what aspect of the study required it to focus only on retired sumo wrestlers, rather than just people who ate a lot of sugar.The study wasn't just about diabetes...
Because you weren't. It was more obfuscation, avoiding the question asked. Why do people who don't eat more 'added sugars' than average also develop diabetes, if (as you claim) overindulgence of those added sugars is the sole cause?Also, funny you edit out all the stuff I'm right about that your own source confirmed over a month ago...
Obesity, particularly when associated with increased abdominal and intra-abdominal fat distribution and increased intrahepatic and intramuscular triglyceride content, is a major risk factor for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes because it causes both insulin resistance and β cell dysfunction.Here. Specifically talks about the mechanism behind the increased risk of diabetes from obesity.

Not just sugar.

If fat surrounds the pancreas, it had problems functioning (just like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). Guess what causes fat to build up around the pancreas?
You're simply presuming they're healthy, because you can't abide reading a source that contradicts you. Active football players are not obese.They are healthy during their wrestling ages. Again, if you do a study on active football players, you won't find any with CTE.
Considering you just mindlessly ignored the other sources I provided, here's a few more-- the first being a clinician directly answering a common question from diabetic patients.Find me someone with diabetes doesn't over consume sugar.
Well, it kind of does... if you eat so much of it (together with other food) that it makes you obese."Fact: Eating sugar does not cause diabetes."
