that HFCS causes diabetes.
HFCS is not a cause, let alone a "leading cause" of diabetes. Or obesity. Your mesothlioma example doesn't compute. Even in terms of your own insistence on multiple factors, it doesn't compute, since asbestos exposure is a factor in something like 99% of mesotheliomas, while HFCS consumption has no such near-perfect correlation with either obesity or diabetes.
I "quoted" no studies whatsoever. I stated the well-known fact that both obesity & DM have been rising globally, in most countries, *independent of* the presence or absence of HFCS in the food supply. Correlation doesn't prove causation, but it can certainly go some ways to *disproving* it.
The correlation of weight w/ DM-related symptoms known as far back as the Victorians.
More food, less activity, aging populations, redefinition of DM diagnosis standards.
