Not a native English speaker but, isn’t the word “attributable” in the title at least misleading?

Shouldn’t it be “linked” instead?

The paper indicates correlation, not causality.

Based on the abstract it's not a study showing that "Type 2 Diabetes and cardiovascular disease [are] attributable to sugar beverages", it's a paper quantifying the "[Amount of] Type 2 Diabetes and cardiovascular disease [that are] attributable to sugar beverages [in various countries]". The link and causation is already well established. This is trying to determine how much harm it's doing in different parts of the world.
