Frank Qian, who carried out the research in his MS Nutrition, remarked that such diets were rapidly becoming popular among the masses, so it was rudimentary to quantify its corporation with the risk of diabetes. That was because such diets differed greatly in their compositions.

Previous studies have indeed indicated a relationship between diets based in plants and the risk of Type 2 Diabetes, but, but we cannot be sure due to an insufficiency of epidemiological proof. The researchers say that the current and latest study is the strongest indication of this affiliation.

The scientists involved carried out 9 experiments, which were then published in February 2019. Their analyzed data included that from 307099 participants, with 23544 Type 2 Diabetes cases. They worked with a variety of plant-based foods. Healthy choices included fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and legumes, while less healthy ones comprised of potatoes, refined flour, sugar and ample amounts of animal products. “Healthful” diets included a mixture of both, but healthy predominating the less healthy.
