It's funny at first glance, but I feel like people don't know the difference between Type-1 (juvenile) diabetes & Type-2. Soda doesn't cause T1D the way that it might contribute to T2D.
type 2 used to be called "adult onset" diabetes, but they had to stop calling it that because too many kids were getting diagnosed with it
Absolutely, the medical establishment has done away with "Juvenile diabetes" as well, because of the rare but statistically significant number of people getting T1D after their 18th birthday (mid 20's or even 30's occasionally). The need for specificity in medicine can't be ignored, they live for it.
