Consuming large amounts of refined sugar, processed carbohydrates, and trans or saturated fats has increased the risk for Type 2 Diabetes.  This correlation is mainly due to the high-calorie content in these foods (typically 3x more). However, new studies suggest Type 2 diabetes can also be attributed to a delay in eating caloric food; therefore, consuming post-five-hour fasting glycemic load and carbohydrate intake resulted in a higher risk for the development of type 2 diabetes. Consequently, the prevention of this disease should be advocated by addressing lifestyle changes such as not skipping breakfast.
