I’ve just finished reading a remarkable article published in the New York Times last Wednesday February 27th that reviewed the details of an astounding study.
This study – for the first time ever – conclusively pinpointed the #1 cause of type 2 diabetes and by extension, excess, stubborn weight.
They did, however, miss one incredibly important detail, which I’ll explain in a moment but here’s what they did get right.
The study showed that the link between this #1 cause of type 2 diabetes and by extension, extra, stubborn flab, was just as strong as the link between cigarettes and lung cancer.
So what is this #1 cause?
Sugar – plain and simple.
Shocked? I didn’t think so.
But what WAS shocking is what this column goes on to say:
“All calories give off the same amount of energy when burned, but your body treats sugar calories differently, and that difference is damaging.”
FINALLY — someone from the mainstream media acknowledging what we’ve known for years, which is that not all calories are created equal… and that THE most devastating waist-expanding, artery-clogging, diabetes-causing calories you can consume comes from sugar.
HOWEVER, the study and this article miss one incredibly important detail.
It’s not just plain old sugar itself that triggers your body to accumulate excess fat and causes type 2 diabetes – it’s also all of the foods that our bodies quickly turn INTO sugar that does the SAME thing.
These are foods that most of us eat EVERY DAY – foods that we THOUGHT were healthy, but in fact are absolutely LOADED with sugar in various forms.
It’s these hidden forms of sugar that you must absolutely avoid at all costs — they completely shut down your body’s primary fat burning hormone while FORCING your body’s primary fat storage hormone to overact, causing layer upon layer of unwanted fat to accumulate.
Fortunately, I recently came across a fantastic explanation by a world-renowned nutritionist who I’ve been learning a great deal from, in which he outlines all of these hidden forms of sugar – and exactly how you can avoid them.

This is really a fantastic explanation and I highly recommend you go see it right now and get educated on what you’re putting in your body.
