Recent research shows that higher dried fruit intake is linked to a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, highlighting potential health benefits despite its sugar content.
By Tarun Sai LomteReviewed by Susha Cheriyedath, M.Sc.Jul 14 2024 In a recent study published in the journal Nutrition and Metabolism , researchers evaluated the causal effects of dried fruit intake on type 2 diabetes .
Dried fruits contain essential nutrients, such as fiber, vitamins, and minerals, enriching a balanced diet. However, sugars in dried fruits are rapidly released into the bloodstream, causing spikes in postprandial glycemia, which could be challenging for those striving to stabilize glucose levels. Dried fruit intake has been historically discouraged due to its sugar and fat content.
Information on dried fruit intake frequency was collected via a questionnaire. T2D data were derived from a GWAS of over 61,700 cases and 593,952 controls. The team screened single nucleotide polymorphisms linked to dried fruit intake as instrumental variables. Instrumental variables had to be strongly and solely associated with the exposure and independent of confounders.
