Consuming High Levels of Flavonoids Linked to Lower T2D Risk in Women

Medscape reports that research “in healthy women suggests that consuming high levels of flavonoids, including compounds found in berries, tea, grapes, and wine, could potentially lower the risk of type 2 diabetes.” Investigators found that “greater intake of these dietary compounds is associated with lower insulin resistance and better blood glucose regulation.” The research, published in the Journal of Nutrition, “also found that those who ate the most anthocyanins were least likely to suffer chronic inflammation, which is associated with diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.”
