There may be some truth in the saying, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get." But one thing is for sure: If you eat a lot of high-calorie processed foods and sweets, you raise your risk for weight gain and diabetes.
Maybe we need a new saying: "Life is like a box of chocolates, eat enough junk and you're likely to gain weight and get diabetes."

It sounded like his weight fluctuations for the roles he had were a significant factor in bringing about his Type II Diabetes. He sacrificed for his craft as many great artists have done. Does not sound like he did anything else without moderation.
