Fatty acid in dairy foods may lower diabetes risk - Health - Diabetes - msnbc.com
People with higher intakes of a fat found mainly in dairy products might have lower odds of developing diabetes, a new study suggests.
Looking at more than 3,700 U.S. adults, researchers found that those with higher blood levels of the fatty acid — known as trans-palmitoleic acid — were about 60 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes over the next 20 years than people with the lowest blood levels.
That would seem to run counter to longstanding recommendations to trade in whole milk and cheese for the skim varieties for the sake of health.
