Calcium Rich, Low Fat Diets Fight Diabetes

[skatss]

I was reading the Lifescript newsletter and there was a story in it that had to do with another study. This one said that women who eat a calcium rich and low fat diet have a significantly lower risk of getting diabetes than women who don't eat that way. The study was based on 37,000 adult women nationwide and was published in the journal "Diabetes Care."

The study found that for every one-serving increase in low-fat dairy food, a woman lowered her risk of developing type 2 diabetes by about 4%.

Other studies done on men also found a similar link for men too.

As a kid my family had a lot of calcium rich meals, dairy days we called it. But I grew up a few decades ago, way before we learned that dairy fats were bad for you. I got diabetes as did my Mom. The study didn't mention if the calcium rich foods helped you to stop the diabetes or if a low fat diet did it.

So I guess it's time to buy the low fat dairy foods and start chowing down to keep diabetes away.

Unfortunately the story didn't mention if the same low fat, high calcium diet helped women who were already diabetic.

If we look at every study that comes down the pike we will see that somewhere something will connect with a diseases or condition.
What they didn't tell you was it was also part of the menopause and osteoporosis study.

fact is calcium and low fat diet is beneficial to everyone. It doesn't work with true diabetes only diabetes that is caused by excessive eating .We have to larn ot make a differentiation between diabetes types and those who may eventually develop it. that way studies can prove that diet changes will be better for you and not lump types together.
Calcium and low fat diet cannot prevent type 2 diabetes. REAL type 2 diabetes.
It can help in controlling food intake thereby preventing a litany of diseases.

So basically eating well balanced can help prevent a number of diseases
