But the reasons for the connection, and what should be done about it, remain unclear

That's It! I am now officially off the "I could get hit by a car tomorrow" bandwagon. Chances are more I will get diagnosed with cancer tomorrow.

Is this study about Type 1/Juvenile diabetics or Type 2 diabetics? There's no such thing as "diabetes." It's like grouping all cancer together. Ugh. You can do better MSNBC...

The article didn't mention type 1, Unless I missed something. And I agree with David there is no "general" diabetes. Type 1 is an auto-immune disease, while most 2's can control their disease with medication, diet and exercise. Type1 is all insulin all the time. My son-in-law is a type 1.

You know what, excessive SUGAR is linked to many health problems like diabetes, obesity and cancer too. See 6 Scary Side Effects of Sugar on Fitbie

So the link is in fact longer: Excessive sugar (sodas, HFCS everywhere etc.) , diabetes, cancers, Alzheimer's and more...
