Researchers from Imperial College London and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology conducted an updated systematic review and dose response meta-analysis of dairy product intake and the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Seventeen cohort studies were included in the meta-analysis. In the dose-response analysis, the relative risks were 0.93 per 400 g total dairy products/d, 0.98 per 200 g high-fat dairy-products/d, 0.91 per 200 g low-fat dairy products/d, 0.87 per 200 g milk/d, 0.92 per 50 g cheese/d, and 0.78 per 200 g yogurt/d. Nonlinear inverse associations were observed for total dairy products, low-fat dairy products, cheese, and yogurt and there was a flattening of the curve at higher intakes.
