Study shows 9
percent drop in risk
(AP) - Eating low-fat dairy prod­
ucts may help slightly lower the risk of
developing diabetes, a new study of
more than 40,000 middle-aged men
suggests.
Each additional serving of low-fat
dairy per day resulted in a 9 percent
drop in risk. The link could be due to
whey proteins or magnesium, ingredi­
ents thought to enhance the action of
insulin in regulating blood sugar.
But those ingredients are contained
in high-fat dairy products, too, so
researchers said they don't really know
what caused the drop in risk. They
ca u tio n e d ag ain st m aking m ajor
changes in diet based on the study.
Men who ate more low-fat milk,
yogurt, ice cream and cheese were
less likely to get Type 2 diabetes dur­
ing a 12-year period. Sour cream,
whole milk and cream cheese, how­
ever, didn't help.
The study found no evidence that

dairy products help people shed pounds,
although smaller studies have linked
dietary calcium and weight loss.
Eating dairy could be associated with
some hidden factor the healthier men
shared that was reducing their risk of
diabetes, said Dr. Frank Hu of the
Harvard School of Public Health, one of
oped it during the years they were fol­
lowed.
The researchers took into account
the effects of age, family history, smok­
ing, physical activity and known di­
etary risk factors for diabetes.
In an accompanying editorial, Janet
King a researcher at Children’s Hospital
There are many other w ays to prevent
diabetes risk. Eating high-fiber foods and nuts,
and reducing sugar, sweets and beverages.

the study’s authors.
“There are many other ways to pre­
vent diabetes risk,” he said. “Eating
high-fiber foods and nuts, and reducing
sugar, sweets and beverages. Exercise
has been shown to be beneficial.”
The study appears in M onday’s Ar­
chives of Internal Medicine.
Researchers relied on questionnaires
filled out by 41,254 male health profes­
sionals in an ongoing Harvard study.
The men did not have diabetes when the
study began, but more than 1,200 devel-
Ingredients for life.
Oakland Research Institute cautioned
that milk appears to increase the risk of
prostate cancer and, in certain children.
Type 1 diabetes.
Type l.oncecalledjuvenile diabetes,
is caused by the body’s inability to
produce insulin. Type 2, the most com­
mon form of diabetes, can result from
overweight, inactivity and poor diet.
King also said milk can be part of a
diet that lowers blood pressure and has
been linked to a lower risk o f colorectal
cancer.
