Link found between diet and diabetes risk in global study.

A new study has found that poor food choices, including excessive consumption of refined carbs and red and processed meats, are the primary drivers of over 14 million new cases of type 2 diabetes worldwide in 2018. The study also found that inadequate intake of protective dietary factors, such as whole grains and nonstarchy vegetables, was responsible for just over 39% of new cases. People in Eastern and Central Europe, Central Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean had the highest percentage of new type 2 diabetes cases linked to diet.
