Dairy Foods May Reduce Diabetes Risk
Scientist has recognized a usual substance that could be found on fatty acid may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
The compound trans-palmitoleic acidis fatty acids that can be obtain from cheese, milk, yogurt and butter.
It cannot be created by the body and so it could only comes from a diet rich in fatty acid.
According to the reports of Dariush Mozaffarian, associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology at HSPH and Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, and Gokhan S.
Hotamisligil, J.
S.
Simmons Professor of Genetics and Metabolism and chair of the Department of Genetics and Complex Diseases at HSPH, claimed that the findings underlies certain evidence that is releases years ago that diets rich in dairy foods are responsible for decreasing risk of type 2 diabetes and associated metabolic abnormalities.
The study has 3,736 participants that come from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute-funded Cardiovascular Health Study.
Each one of them has been carefully followed for 20 years to assess risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in older adults.
Metabolic issues such as blood glucose and insulin levels, and also levels of flowing blood fatty acids like trans-palmitoleic acid were calculated using stored blood samples in 1992 until they develop type 2 diabetes.
Trans-palmitoleic acids were connected with healthy blood cholesterol levels, inflammatory markers, insulin levels, and insulin sensitivity, following adjustments for other risk factors.
During the follow-up period, people with higher circulating levels of trans-palmitoleic acid have a lower risk of becoming diabetics.
The observational finding needs further studies and controlled trials but it certainly gives hopes for diabetics.
It embodies three-fold difference in risk of developing diabetes along with people who has the highest blood levels of fatty acids.
This is different from the industrially fashioned trans fat that are found on vegetable oils that has been connected to higher risk of heart diseases.
Trans-palmitoleic acid can only be found on dairy and meat trans fat which has been proven in recent studies that is not connected with higher heart disease risk.
Prior studies have never proven the effectiveness of dairy products for lowering risk of diabetes.
This is the first time that the association lower diabetes risk and trans-palmitoleic acid have been assessed.
Scientist are still wondering whether the trans fatty acid in dairy fats imitate the job of cis-palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid that is formed in the body.
Some experiments were conducted and it shows that it could protect animals from diabetes.
Modern diet may not show same results since it has high amounts of carbohydrate and calories in the diet that might limit defensive purpose.
