Want to Avoid Diabetes? IGNORE this Health Advice

We know by now that certain diets and type 2 diabetes go hand-in-hand.

If you want to avoid diabetes, lots of doctors will tell you that bagels, pasta, and cake are off your menu for good.

But I’ll be honest… some of the dietary advice that’s out there now is total garbage.

Case in point?

There’s a type of food that you’ve probably been told for years to avoid.

Well, ignore that advice.

Because this food may hold the key to helping you manage your blood sugar… and avoid diabetes.

A few decades ago, when waistlines started expanding—along with the rates of diabetes and heart disease—people looked for a scapegoat.

And they decided on full-fat dairy.

Fat must make you fat, right?

Just like so many of mainstream medicine’s assumptions… WRONG!

In fact, not only does full-fat dairy not CAUSE diabetes… it could actually PREVENT it.

In a study published in BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care, researchers tracked nearly 190,000 people for nine years to find out the connection between dairy and diabetes.

The researchers evaluated all of the components of the metabolic syndrome: blood pressure, waist circumference, cholesterol, triglycerides, and fasting blood glucose.

Having at least two servings per day of FULL-FAT dairy was associated with a 28 percent lower risk of metabolic syndrome, a 12 percent lower risk of high blood pressure, and a 12 percent lower risk of type 2 diabetes.

And consuming three servings per day was associated with a 14 percent lower risk of diabetes.

Interestingly, low-fat dairy was NOT associated with a lower prevalence of any components of metabolic syndrome.

This research adds to previous research showing the protective effects of full-fat dairy.

And it just goes to show you that the less you mess with a food, the better it is for you. The same goes for milk.

If I had a cow, I’d drink it straight and unadulterated every day.

The next best thing is to find a farmer nearby that sells raw milk.

And if that’s not an option, choose whole milk instead of 2%, low fat, or skim.
