A new study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine claims that one type of food is mostly to blame for almost all cases of type 2 diabetes!
And you’re most likely eating it every day!
Stop eating this food and watch what happens to your diabetes in a few days.
Ultra-processed foods contain plenty of additives to enhance their taste, appearance, and shelf life. These are the types you do not find growing in any garden.
Scientists have found ultra-processed foods to be involved in the development of obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and cancer, which prompted them to examine whether they play a role in diabetes too.
A team led by scientists at the University of Paris identified 104,707 participants from the French NutriNet-Santé study that ran between 2009 and 2019. They examined the participants’ dietary habits and intakes of more than 3,500 foods.
The foods were grouped according to the NOVA classification system into four types: unprocessed/minimally processed foods, culinary ingredients, processed foods, and ultra-processed foods.
After excluding lifestyle and other health factors that can cause diabetes from their analysis, they discovered that, for every 10% of additional ultra-processed foods included in the diet, the risk of developing diabetes increased by 15%.
This valuable finding confirms that natural, minimally processed foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds are the healthiest foods to eat.
