Consumption of dairy products reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes

Dairy products in moderate quantities, such as milk and cheese, improve protection against type 2 diabetes, according to a study by Italian scientists from the University of Naples.

Scientists have concluded that dairy consumption is associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This type of diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, which occurs when the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin or the insulin it produces does not work properly. Dangerous complications of type 2 diabetes often include heart disease, kidney failure, vision loss, circulatory problems, and foot amputation. It is very important to be protected from this disease.

As a prevention of diabetes, doctors usually recommend eating plant-based foods such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and also advise limiting the consumption of most animal products. But researchers from the University of Naples believe that not all animals are contraindicated if there is a risk of diabetes.

Scientists analyzed the relationship between various animal products and probable type 2 diabetes (in particular, these were red and white meat, processed meat, fish, dairy products, eggs). Their analysis showed that dairy products were most effective in preventing the development of type 2 diabetes or had a neutral relationship with the development of the disease.

“Low-fat dairy products, especially yogurt, are associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes,” the experts stated.

In turn, daily consumption of red and processed meat, according to their data, is associated with a high risk of diabetes (when eating just 100 grams per day). Scientists recommend giving preference to moderate portions of white meat, fish and eggs for protein.
