Description
Elham Nikoei Foshtomi and co-authors report a 2026 study on whether a gene changes how vitamin B12 in food relates to diabetes risk. The gene, called FTO, is linked to obesity. Vitamin B12 helps the body handle sugar, so the team tested the pair together.
The case-control study enrolled four hundred adults aged thirty-five to seventy, about half with type 2 diabetes. Participants answered a food questionnaire, and their FTO gene type was tested. Among people with one gene type, labeled TT, those without diabetes ate notably more B12 than those with diabetes. Higher B12 intake also linked to lower odds of diabetes in that group alone. No such link appeared in other gene types. The authors suggest food advice could one day be tailored by genes.
