According to researchers from the Lund University Diabetes Center in Malmo, Sweden, eating high-fat dairy products could lower a patient’s risk for type 2 diabetes. The study showed that those subjects with the highest consumption of high fat dairy products lowered their chance of developing type 2 diabetes by as much as 23 per cent, provided the fat is unsaturated.
The study was conducted with 26,930 patients over 14 years. 60 per cent of patients were women, aged 45 to 74 years.
