Noted.  But it increases the risk, quite a bit. And the links to
sugar being a contributor to creating the risk factors that cause
it, are strong:

"Summary

    Added sugars, especially from sugar-sweetened beverages, are
strongly linked to the development of type 2 diabetes. This is
likely due to sugar’s direct effect on your liver, as well as its
indirect effect of increasing body weight."

Yep. Wouldn't want to be there either.

I'm just saying it would be best to limit sugars to natural sugars
found in whole foods. Then we wouldn't develop the cravings for the
processed sugary things, contributing to the snowball effect of more
and more.
