So today let's answer the question, does skipping your breakfast cause diabetes or does

0:28.5

it cause you to gain weight? There's been quite a few studies out there that show the link between

0:35.8

skipping a breakfast and worsening your blood sugars or increasing your risk for diabetes and

0:42.3

even gaining more weight. Okay guys, so there's a couple things you really need to know. Number one,

0:48.8

most, if not all the studies that show this link are sponsored by the food industry,

0:54.8

surprise and the studies that are not sponsored by the food industry do not show this correlation.

1:01.9

So recently there was another article published November 2018 and entitled Breakfast Skipping is

1:09.8

associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes among adults, a systematic review and meta-analysis

1:17.9

of prospective cohort studies and this was published in the Journal of Nutrition. So I just want to

geographic locations because the current evidence came from only the United States and Asia.

2:08.1

So if you live anywhere other than these two locations, all this information doesn't apply to you.

2:14.1

Okay. Next point. This was based on a questionnaire with and without a validation.

2:20.8

So you're just going to ask people, hopefully they've remembered and hopefully they're telling the truth.

2:24.9

All right. Next point. Interestingly, the strongest association with type 2 diabetes was

2:29.7

observed for the combination of breakfast skipping and having a western diet pattern among men

2:36.6

from the health professionals follow up study. Okay. What is the western diet pattern?

2:43.1

That is the sad diet. Basically, it's what people eat in the west, which is all refined carbohydrates
