‘More Plants, Less Meat = Less Diabetes,’ New Analysis Indicates

Middle-aged people who ate more plant-based foods — mainly semi-vegetarians but also vegetarians and vegans — were less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than their peers who ate more meat, fish, eggs, and dairy, in a large meta-analysis.

Overall, people with the highest versus lowest intake of any plant-based foods had a 23% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, independent of body mass index (BMI), in a 2- to 28-year follow-up, the new data show.
And those with the highest versus lowest intake of healthy plant-based foods — that is, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts — had a 30% lower risk of incident diabetes.
“To our knowledge, the present study provides the most comprehensive evidence on the association between plant-based dietary patterns and incidence of type 2 diabetes,” Frank Qian, MPH, Department of Nutrition, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, and colleagues summarize, in their article published online July 22 in JAMA Internal Medicine.
