People across the globe face a threat from diabetes and sugary food is often blamed for it. But while people focus on reducing sugar intake through food items, there might be something else that poses a greater risk.

Meanwhile there were no risks associated with food and drinks which had natural fructose. But ingredients in sweet drinks powercharge fructose that triggers blood sugar levels.
