A recent study published in the journal Circulations suggest that dairy fats may guard against Type 2 diabetes. The Daily Agri-News report notes the study doesn’t show full cause and effect, there are several reason why full-fat milk, yogurt, and cheeses could delay the development of diabetes. An LSU Ag Center dietician, Sandra May, notes that it could be the full-fat dairy products keep you fuller longer. That would help reduce the number of calories we take in a day. The study followed 3,000 adults for two decades and showed that those who had higher dairy fatty acids in their blood showed a lower incidence of diabetes. Other studies looking at the connection between vitamins and minerals in dairy products and a reduced risk of diabetes, but those results were inconclusive. May notes that recommendations are to continue to consume lower-fat dairy products.
