Different fats impact diabetes risk
A recent review indicates that the type of fat consumed influences the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Saturated fats rich in palmitic acid, found in meats, dairy, and processed foods, may impair insulin response and promote inflammation, increasing diabetes risk. In contrast, monounsaturated fats like oleic acid, abundant in olive oil, nuts, and avocados, may protect against insulin resistance and support metabolic health. The findings emphasize the importance of replacing saturated fats with healthier unsaturated fats as part of a balanced diet to reduce the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes.
