Dairy Reduces Diabetes Risk

The study included 41,254 participants in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, a long-term project of male physicians, dentists, and other health professionals. Each participant completed a dietary survey that solicited detailed information about the type and quantity of food eaten.

During 12 years of follow-up, researchers found 1,243 new cases of type 2 diabetes. When other factors were controlled for, men who consumed the most dairy products had about 23% lower risk of diabetes than those who ate the least. For every additional daily serving of dairy products, a person gains a 9% lower risk of diabetes, they concluded.
