[QUOTE="vit90, post: 700661, member: 141633"] I can't honestly agree that eating lots of sweet stuff doesn't cause diabetes. For probably a lot of people it was a major factor, probably causing a weight problem, maybe exacerbated by lack of exercise. For others, yes they can get away with it but I am trying to get my kids to eat more sensibly. Fortunately they are both sporty and active. In WW2 there may have been more starch in the diet but there were far less refined foods and refined sugar was rationed. Food was scarce so getting fat was rare too. And people in those days had to be more active (no TV, a lot less public transport, etc.) [/QUOTE]
