A new study using mice, not people, that was recently published in Science Daily (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/03/090303123802.htm) explains in part at least why insulin resistance can result from diets high in high-fructose corn syrup, a sweetener found in most sodas and many other processed foods.
Fructose is much more readily metabolized to fat in the liver than glucose. This process can lead to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease which in turn leads to hepatic insulin resistance and type II diabetes.
Please, avoid artifact food products that contain high-fructose corn syrup. Your body wasn't designed to metabolize it correctly. It is a non-food, food artifact.
