Low-Fat Dairy Reduces Type 2 Diabetes Risk in Men - CME Teaching Brief - MedPage Today

Preliminary, but very interesting. I would warn you however, that the last time a big dairy study came out about weight loss, many questions later came up about the vailidity. However, I would argue, this one makes more sense to me (like that means anythig!)

Low-Fat Dairy Reduces Type 2 Diabetes Risk in Men - CME Teaching Brief - MedPage Today: "The more men consume low-fat dairy food the less their risk of type 2 diabetes, suggests a big prospective observational study.

Indeed, each additional serving per-day in total dairy intake was linked to a 9% drop in type 2 diabetes risk, Hyon K. Choi, M.D., of the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and colleagues reported in the May 9 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine."
