"Link Found Between Pro-Inflammatory Diet, High Salt Intake, and Increased Type 2 Diabetes Risk"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Medscape
A study found that individuals following a pro-inflammatory diet and consuming high levels of salt had a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The research, which analyzed data from over 170,000 participants, revealed an 18% increased risk for T2D in those with a pro-inflammatory diet and a 4% increased risk for each one-point increment in the energy-adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII). The study suggests that promoting an anti-inflammatory diet and reducing salt intake could help prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes.
