Dairy foods 'could help prevent diabetes'

[Elmore Furth]

A natural substance found in dairy products appears to protect against diabetes, say researchers.

Trans-palmitoleic acid is present in milk, cheese, yoghurt and butter but cannot be made by the body.

A study of over 3,700 people found higher levels of trans-palmitoleic acid was linked with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.

People with the highest levels cut their risk by 60%, Annals of Internal Medicine reports.

Diabetes is such a serious problem. Who would have ever thought that eating a lot of dairy products would cut the risk by 60%!

3. Well, didn't work with me.

Had a ton of dairy but the type II still happened approaching 50, just like every other member of my (skinny) family. Guess I'm part of the 40%.

4. It works. I was eating a lot of cheese and other dairy foods and my

blood glucose went down to a normal range...I also cut bad carbs and increased proteins.
Works great, lost weight, feel better.
Rice is poison for me, as is white bread.

5. And of course, as several other posts have already

pointed out, individuals vary enough that it's not a guarantee.

6. 'could' also means 'maybe could not...'

My dad got off the diabetes drugs by going vegan.
