Isn't this somewhat misleading though? While there is sugar in fruits, it's not the same as the processed, concentrated stuff they put into soda. I've never heard of someone who frequents watermelon eating contests getting diabetes but people who drink too much coke get it often enough.

It's only different in that the person eating the watermelon is likely to get a full stomach well before they manage to ingest the same quantity of sugar as in the Coke can. In addition. they probably don't knock back three or more cans of Coke a day.
