Oily Fish consumption reduces risk of Type 2 Diabetes: Study
Previous ecological study suggest that fish intake may also play a role in preventing type 2 diabetes, which was supported by an animal experiment that showed a favorable effect of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, which are abundant in fish, on insulin resistance. Recent study findings adds an additional evidence suggesting that the Consumption of oily fish, but not nonoily fish, is associated with a lower risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). The research has been published in the journal Diabetes Care on January 11, 2021.
Potential benefits of a diet rich in fish and seafood were previously highlighted with the observation of low prevalence of chronic diseases among Greenland Inuit populations, who consume predominantly a marine diet. Substantial evidence demonstrates an inverse association between habitual fish intake and coronary heart disease and stroke. Such evidence has been translated into dietary recommendations to eat at least "two portions of fish per week, one of which should be oily". Evidence regarding the beneficial effects of fish intake and fish oil supplements on the risk of type 2 diabetes is inconclusive. Therefore, researchers of New York conducted a study to evaluate associations of oily and nonoily fish consumption and fish oil supplements with incident type 2 diabetes (T2D).
