We generally believes that consuming the high fat food can elevate the chances of heart related risks and diabetes as the food triggers the cholesterol levels in our blood, and degrades the metabolic condition in human beings. But, a recent study revealed that consuming the high-fat dairy products was linked to lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes.

The crazy news may surprise many, but as per the report of Ulrika Ericson and colleagues, the person who conducted a study on the eating habits of 27,000 individuals aged 45 to 74, who ate most high-fat dairy products had a 23 per cent lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes than those who ate the least. They also said that higher consumption of meat elevates the risk of type 2 diabetes regardless of the fat content of the meat.

According to the report of study is published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the participants had taken part in the Malmo Diet and Cancer study in the early 1990s, where they have provided their food eating habits, and after two decades they were re-studied and found that over ten per cent - 2 860 people - had developed type 2 diabetes.

The statistics of the study claimed that the consumption of saturated fatty acids that were slightly more common in dairy products than in meat, a link with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes was found.

However, the report suggestion may not be applicable to all the people as every individual will have his/her own set food habits and physical activities. Having moderate level or minimal level of fat content in food is always suggested to the readers, and also requested the readers to follow the prescription of dietician and physician to live healthy.
