According to a study, daily consumption of milk or yogurt can help prevent type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, red meat (red meat), processed meat and even white meat have been found to have the effect. opposite to. Researchers have recommended fish and eggs as alternatives to these meats.
A second-generation team from Federico Napoli in Italy investigated the association between 12 foods of animal origin and the onset of type 2 diabetes using 13 meta-analyzes that included 175 studies. Animal foods studied included red meat (beef, lamb, pork, etc.), white meat (chicken and turkey), processed meat (bacon, sausage, etc.), fish, dairy products, and eggs.
The study found that people who ate 100 grams of red meat per day had a 22 percent higher risk of diabetes than those who ate less. Consuming 50 grams of processed meat per day increased the risk of diabetes by 30%. Those who ate 50 grams of white meat per day had a 4% higher risk of diabetes than those who ate less.
“Red and processed meats are important sources of components such as saturated fatty acids, cholesterol and heme iron,” said Analissa Giose, Ph. There, “said.” Processed meat also contains sodium nitrates and nitrites, which can harm the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, “he said.
On the other hand, dairy products showed no difference in the protective effect against diabetes. It just depended on whether it was low in fat or not. The study found that people who consumed 200 grams of milk per day were 10 percent less likely to be diagnosed with diabetes than those who ate less.
Furthermore, those who ate 100 grams of yogurt per day were 6% lower. “Dairy products are rich in nutrients, vitamins and other bioactive compounds that can beneficially affect glucose metabolism,” said Dr Giose. This may be why consumption is associated with a reduced risk of diabetes. “
For fish and eggs, consuming 100 grams of fish and one egg per day did not appear to have any effect on diabetes. “It’s best to cut back on red and processed meat and eat fish and eggs in moderation,” Giose said.
The results of this study (Consumption of different foods of animal origin and risk of type 2 diabetes: a general review of the meta-analyzes of prospective studies) were published in the Journal of Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice.
