According to a recent study, consuming too many goods made of refined wheat and rice results in type 2 diabetes.
According to a recent study, the principal author, Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, a professor of nutrition at Tufts University and a professor of medicine at Tufts School of Medicine in Boston, "this analysis reveals low carbohydrate quality is a key cause of diet-attributable type 2 diabetes worldwide." Another study revealed that people consume excessive amounts of processed and red meats like bacon, sausage, and salami. The study, which was released on Monday in the journal Nature Medicine, found that these three risk factors—eating insufficient amounts of whole grains, as well as overindulgence in processed meats and cereals —were the main contributors to the more than 14 Mn novel cases of type 2 diabetes that occurred in 2018.
In fact, the study indicated that poor eating choices added to 7 out of 10 type 2 diabetes cases worldwide in 2018.
Researchers discovered that consuming too many unhealthy foods, especially for males compared to women, younger persons compared to older adults, and urban versus rural dwellers, was more of a global driver of type 2 diabetes than not eating enough wholesome foods. More than 60% of all occurrences of the disease worldwide attributed to food were caused by an excessive consumption of just six unhealthy dietary practices: consuming an excessive amount of processed and unprocessed red meats, sugar-sweetened beverages, and fruit juices.
Almost 39% of the new cases were caused by inadequate consumption of five preventive dietary factors: fruits, nonstarchy vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and yogurt. The biggest proportion of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes cases associated with food were found in people from Poland and Russia, whose diets frequently emphasize potatoes and red and processed meat, as well as other nations in Eastern and Central Europe and Central Asia. Researchers speculated that the high rates of new cases in Colombia, and other Latin American and Caribbean nations may be related to people's consumption of processed meat, sugary beverages, and whole grains.
