New data presented June 16-17 at the 62nd Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association suggest that eating nuts helps prevent the development of diabetes and that zinc supplementation in obese, insulin-resistant women improves insulin sensitivity, even in the absence of zinc deficiency.
“Major constituents of nuts (unsaturated fatty acids, magnesium and fiber) have been inversely associated with risk of type 2 diabetes; however, the overall effects of nut consumption on risk of type 2 diabetes are not available,” write Rui Jiang and colleagues from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
“Our results suggest that frequent nut consumption is associated with lower risk of type 2 diabetes in women.” In this offshoot of the Nurses’ Health Study, the authors analyzed data from validated dietary questionnaires completed in 1980 by 83,818 women, aged 34 to 59 years, without a history of cardiovascular disease, cancer, or diabetes. During 16 years of follow-up, 3,206 women developed type 2 diabetes.
