Reduced fat milk, like regular milk, may increase the risk of developing prediabetes. Researchers from Tilburg University in the Netherlands reached these results. results published In the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN).
74,132 people with an average age of 46 participated in the research. Researchers collected information about participants’ eating habits using surveys. Researchers tried to find out how much yoghurt, milk, cream, ice cream and cheese the subjects consumed on a regular basis. They also recorded data on the volunteers’ health status and took blood tests from them to detect prediabetes.
Prediabetes is a borderline condition between diabetes and normal sugar absorption; It is characterized by a decrease in insulin production and (or) a decrease in the sensitivity of body cells to it.
Most of the foods examined had a neutral correlation with prediabetes risk. Consumption of full-fat yoghurt was associated with a reduced likelihood of developing this condition, while consumption of low-fat and regular-fat milk was associated with an increased likelihood of this condition. Additionally, adequate total intake of high-fat dairy products was able to protect against prediabetes in participants over 60 years of age. More research is needed to further investigate the effects of dairy products on human health.
