"Genetic Variant Links Milk Intake to Reduced Type 2 Diabetes Risk"

A study has found that a variant of the lactase LCT gene may explain the link between milk intake and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The research, which analyzed genetics data from multiple cohorts, suggests that the interaction between genetics, diet, and gut microbiome composition plays a role in this association. The findings shed light on the complex interplay between host genetics, diet, and gut microbiota in influencing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
