Dairy products and fish intake and the progression of type 2 diabetes: an update of the evidence

This article will review the evidence for dairy products and fish in prevention of type 2 diabetes, with attention paid to risk factors such as insulin sensitivity, secretion and adiposity. The evidence suggests that consumption of low‐fat dairy products can protect against type 2 diabetes, while the effect of full‐fat dairy appears to be neutral. Oily and white fish have no independent effect on the risk of type 2 diabetes but their consumption is associated with a healthy body weight. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons.
