Fish Linked to Diabetes

A new Harvard study should prompt people to hold up before delving into that dish of fish—it’s been linked to type 2 diabetes. The study, featured in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that risk increase was modest for the occasional fish eater, but in women who consumed five or more fish servings per week, the risk increases to 22 percent. With standard American serving sizes, it might be pretty easy to increase one’s risk. The good news, though, is that studies have shown that type 2 diabetes can improve with the help of a low-fat vegan diet. Time to ditch the fish and make the switch.
