My ***** research team, the Google, has brought me back some conflicting data.
My grandmother, and ex-nurse, claims the cause is sugar intake.
My school issue Health textbook blames obesity.
I’m not sure who to believe, so I’ve decided that people I don’t know, and have no way of trusting, will divulge the answer to me.
Is there anyone that does know what the cause is?
