Sugar-Free Diabetes Cures
The myth that eliminating sugar cures diabetes goes back to 1930s simplified medical advice. The “sugar-free” product boom of the 1980s reinforced this misconception among patients. Dr. Richard Bernstein’s 1997 book pushed zero-sugar diets as the solution. Current research shows balanced diets with moderate carbohydrates manage Type 2 diabetes better than extreme approaches. Sugar matters, but total calories and lifestyle factors matter more for the 34 million Americans with diabetes.
