they did a study in 2010 looking at the diabetic population. as we look at the cost projections for the city of san francisco, we look at two different things. we look at what the city spends in direct health care provisions and services to the obese and diabetic populations. we also look at what the city contributes to health care cost through health insurance, through the health services system for employees, retirees and dependents. because we use several different methodologies we developed three scenarios which are outlined and detailed in our report to estimate the cost the city is currently spending to cover medical care related to obesity and diabetes that is attributable to sugary sweets and beverages. we look at the total cost, direct cost and indirect cost. we used for the analysis that you see on the table in front of you, the most conservative methodologies. so one of the studies that we looked at recommends using a 10 percent total medical cost attributable to obesity. the cost to treat obesity and the cook county study which we w

francisco and 46, 999 diabetic adults in san francisco. those populations are not necessarily distinct. so there is likely overlap between them. according to the agency for health care research and quality, there is typically about a 54.8 percent prevalence of obesity in diagnosed diabetes. we applied that rate to our san francisco numbers to get a better sense of what those distinct populations likely are. doing that we found there are likely 83, 249 obese adults in san francisco and 46, 909 diabetic adults in san francisco. in order to measure the cost related to the consumption of sugar sweet and beverages and the health impact that causes, we have to understand a few different factors. so, the first is the direct and indirect cost related to that consumption. direct cost would be the cost of medical care that are directly related to the intervention. so inpatient visits, outpatient visits, drug care, etc. indirect cost are related to work force productivity. these include absenteeism which is sick leave and disability and presentism. w

you can't tell if sugar caused diabetes were diabetics ring sugar beverages.you couldn't tell that. if you had the whole decade, now you have a movie. now you can determine precedence. we controlled for gdp, obesity, urbanization, aging, and physical activity. we controlled for everything we could control for. here is the data. during the decade, diabetes rose from 5.4% to 7% worldwide. here is the effects model. you will notice it does not cross zero, which is significant. for every 100 calories, diabetes prevalence went up by 0.87%. here is the adjusted association of sugar with diabetes prevalence, a very clearly significant correlator. here's the take home message. only changes and sugar availability predicted changes in diabetes prevalence, not total calories. total calories were irrelevant. that doesn't mean total calories cannot cause diabetes. that is not what this means. it could. in this study, for every extra 150 calories that every country consumes, it only increased by beatty's by 0.5%. if those 150 calories happen to be a can of soda, diabetes pr

first of all, what is type 2 diabetes? >> type 2 diabetes is also called adult onset diabetes. it's basically when your body's receptors become desensitized and they are not able to process the blood sugar that's streaming through your blood. that causes increased blood sugar levels and that's what results in diabetes being the number one cause of heart disease, kidney failure, blindness. it's disasterous. and the thing is, it's preventible. through physical activity and proper diet, you can control it and prevent it from occurring. >> so tell me, how do you keep the guys in the navy healthy? what's your recommendation for them? you're saying that the receptors are desensitized. so within your body, your body cannot tell you whether you have too much sugar or not enough sugar so what does it keep doing, calling for sugar because you need energy? >> well, yeah. so as your receptors get desensitized, it leads to an increase in the sugar levels in your bloodstream which causes you to have a whole host of reactions and through blood vessel destruction, your heart disease, your body

diabetes has increased and increase in rate of chronic conditions. the number of american adults of obesity has more than doubled and diabetes has doubled and the percentage for children has tripled over the past 30 years. we want to better understand what those impacts are here in san francisco. using data that we found from the centers for disease control on prevention from 2010, we found there were 180, 955 obese adults in san francisco and 46, 999 diabetic adults in san francisco. those populations are not necessarily distinct. so there is likely overlap between them. according to the agency for health care research and quality, there is typically about a 54.8 percent prevalence of obesity in diagnosed diabetes. we applied that rate to our san francisco numbers to get a better sense of what those distinct populations likely are. doing that we found there are likely 83, 249 obese adults in san francisco and 46, 909 diabetic adults in san francisco. in order to measure the cost related to the consumption of sugar sweet and beverages and the health
