High-fat dairy products ‘lower diabetes risk’
A study of almost 27,000 people, aged between 45 and 74, 60% of whom were female, showed that those who increased their intake of foods including cream and high-fat milk had a 23% lower risk of developing type-2 diabetes.
The study also tracked diabetes rates associated with eating meat and meat products like sausage. While there was an increased risk with a greater intake of meats, that risk became higher for those who took meat containing less fat, the study, by Dr Ulrika Ericson and her colleagues at the Lund University Diabetes Centre in Malmo, Sweden, claimed. The results suggest that when it comes to diabetes risk, not all fats are created equal.
