Eating More Nuts Could Protect Against Type 2 Diabetes

Eating a diet rich in omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which are found in soybean and sunflower oils, as well as in nuts, may protect against the development of type 2 diabetes, say an international team of researchers.
Pooling data on levels of linoleic acid and its metabolite arachidonic acid in almost 40,000 individuals from 10 countries, they found that those with the highest linoleic acid levels had a 35% reduction in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared with those with the lowest levels.
The research was published online in Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology on October 11.
