Diets that lacked whole grains or had too much refined rice, wheat or processed meats were linked to the disease.
More than 70% of new type 2 diabetes diagnoses in 2018 were believed to have been caused by unhealthy dietary patterns.Of the 184 countries included in the study, all reported a rise in type 2 diabetes in the nearly 30 years that were analyzed. Diets that included insufficient amounts of whole grains were found to be linked to the increasing number of type 2 diabetes diagnoses.“Our study suggests poor carbohydrate quality is a leading driver of diet-attributable type 2 diabetes globally, and with important variation by nation and over time,” said senior author Dariush Mozaffarian.
Researchers noted that was likely due to data from countries including Poland and Russia, where diets were reported to incorporate high amounts of red meat, processed meat and potatoes.
