Dairy Products Could Help To Protect from Diabetes

Scientists have long thought that all sources of saturated fats are to be avoided to prevent the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases such as diabetes type 2.

However, researchers from the MRC Nutrition Research Cambridge just get different results, which imply that all saturated fatty acids are not necessarily undesirable.

The study involved analyzing blood samples from 12,132 people who developed type 2 diabetes, and to compare them with samples from 15,164 healthy controls with an average age of 52.

Then examining their diet, the researchers calculated that high levels of saturated were associated with a 43% risk of developing type 2 diabetes, particularly in cases of fatty acids BMI high and high consumption of alcohol, sodas and margarine.

However, they have shown that high levels of milk saturated fatty acids were associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes these high concentrations of saturated fatty acids from milk were particularly found in subjects with BMI lower, especially among women.

Thus, researchers were able to show that all saturated fatty acids do not have the same effect on type 2 diabetes, saturated carbon chain odd fatty acids present in dairy products can potentially reduce the risk. Thus there would be different types of saturated fatty acids.

The precise study that However, more research to see if other ingredients in dairy products are not the reason for this protective effect.

In all cases, a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are preferred to prevent the risk of type 2 diabetes, especially when family members suffer, as this disease can be hereditary.
