&gt; Diabetes is not always a byproduct of over consuming sugar<p>Refined carbs in general are the big issue, but sugar in particular is a very large part of the problem. It&#x27;s difficult to buy any processed food that <i>doesn&#x27;t</i> contain sugar these days.<p>&gt; or even encourage over consumption of sugar<p>They market sugar-laden foods to children, such as sickly-sweet breakfast cereals - IMO they do encourage over consumption of sugar.<p>&gt; I don&#x27;t see what the actual problem is<p>I think the problem with Nestle doing both of these things is that it creates a pretty clear conflict of interest - to maximise revenue, they need to sell as many sugar laden products as they can, so they can sell more much diabetes medication.
