Study finds daily beef intake does not worsen blood sugar in prediabetes

Kiswahili

A randomized trial showed that adults with prediabetes experienced no negative changes in blood sugar control or insulin function after eating beef daily for a month. The findings matched results from a poultry-based diet.

Researchers conducted the crossover trial with 24 adults who had overweight or obesity and prediabetes. Participants followed two 28-day diets, one with 6 to 7 ounces of beef each day and one with poultry, separated by a washout period. Meals included items such as fajitas, burgers, and stir fry prepared with the assigned meat.

Study links French fries to higher type 2 diabetes risk

A major long-term study has found that eating French fries regularly raises the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, while other potato preparations do not show the same association. Researchers tracked more than 205,000 people over nearly four decades and published their findings in The BMJ. The results highlight how preparation methods and replacement foods affect health outcomes.

Regular egg eating linked to lower Alzheimer’s risk

Adults age 65 and older who consume eggs regularly face a reduced chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease, according to new research from Loma Linda University Health. The study found that eating at least five eggs per week was associated with up to a 27 percent lower risk. Even modest intake showed measurable benefits.

Mice gain weight from bread without extra calories, study shows

Imeripotiwa na AI

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University discovered that mice strongly prefer carbohydrate-rich foods like bread and rice, leading to weight gain even without increased calorie intake. The animals burned less energy, accumulating fat due to metabolic changes. The findings challenge assumptions about carbs and obesity.
