Pretty much every health authority will tell you that high blood sugar damages blood vessels, thereby enabling the formation of said plagues.

Healthy adults consuming some dietary sugar doesn't cause persistent high blood sugar, though. That's diabetes.

    it's not just sugar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic_index#Grouping

    all simple carbs are the devil, but we can't possibly feed billions of people actually healthy food - organic vegetables, nuts, and animal products, so come drink your corn syrup.

      The sugar industry (topic of this article) can only be blamed for sugar, though -- not all high-GI foods.

      And you can replace "sugar" in what I said earlier with "high-GI foods" and it doesn't change a thing. Persistent high blood sugar is diabetes; it isn't dietary.
