Description
Fabio Frigo, Peter Fasching, and Helmut Brath review evidence from two thousand twenty-six on plant-based diets and type two diabetes. The disease is growing fast around the world, and diet is a core tool to prevent and manage it. Yet which plant foods help most, and which foods raise risk, needed a clear summary.
The review draws on cohort studies, trials, and pooled analyses. Healthy plant-based patterns linked to lower risk of the disease and better blood sugar control. Beans and fiber helped sugar control, gut microbes, and weight. Red meat, above all processed meat, linked to higher risk. The authors warn that plant diets built on refined grains and sweet drinks do not share the benefits.
