Higher Whole-Grain Intake Is Associated with Lower Risk of Type 2 Diabetes among Middle-Aged Men and Women: The Danish Diet, Cancer, and Health Cohort.
Consistent consumption of whole grains may help diminish the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
This study examined whether diets high in whole grains can prevent the development of type 2 diabetes. Researchers surveyed 55,465 men and women between the ages of 55-65 years recruited from the Danish Diet, Cancer, and Health cohort. Over the course of the study, approximately 7,417 persons develop type 2 diabetes.
Researchers found out that the tendency of type 2 diabetes occurring in high consumers of whole grains was low. Daily consumption of a serving of whole grains was found to reduce type diabetes risk by 11% in men and 7% in women. This study adds to the body of literature describing the protective effect of whole grains against type 2 diabetes.
