Harvard Medical School study: People who stick to a plant-based diet have a 23% lower risk of diabetes than the general population

 

A review published in JAMA Internal Medicine by the Harvard School of Public Health found that people who adhered to a plant-based overall dietary pattern had a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than those who adhered to the diet. Weak people were 23% lower.

The study also found that this link was strengthened when healthy plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts were included in this dietary pattern.

Frank Qian, the study's first author and a master's student in the Department of Nutrition, said: "In recent years, plant-based dietary patterns have grown in popularity due to a number of factors. So we believe it is critical to quantify their overall association with diabetes risk. , especially given that such diets can vary widely in their composition."

Plant-based dietary patterns emphasize getting food from plant sources, including lower levels of animal products or excluding them. It has received considerable attention in recent years for its potential in the prevention or control of several major chronic diseases including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Numerous studies have previously shown that a plant-based dietary pattern may help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, so recommendations for the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes include eating plenty of plant-based foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. food, as well as red and processed meats in small amounts. But whether plant-based diets play a role in the primary prevention of type 2 diabetes remains unclear, and there has been a lack of research on the overall analysis of epidemiological evidence.

To fill this knowledge gap, the research team conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies to assess the association between plant-based dietary patterns and type 2 diabetes risk. According to the researchers, the new study provides the most comprehensive evidence yet for the association.

Soy Fiber: The Invisible 'Hero' in Canned Foods

图片
 Soybean fiber is mainly derived from by - products generated during the soybean processing, such as soybean dregs and soybean skins. These materials, which were originally likely to be regarded as waste, have transformed into soybean fiber with a variety of excellent properties after a series of complex and sophisticated extraction processes. Currently, there are diverse extraction methods for soybean fiber, mainly including physical methods, chemical methods, and biological methods. In the large family of canned foods, whether it is delicious meat cans or fresh fruit and vegetable cans, soybean fiber plays an indispensable and important role in improving the quality and enhancing the nutrition of canned foods. Magical effects of soybean fiber in canned foods Improving Texture and Taste Soybean fiber has unique gel properties and extremely excellent oil - holding and water - retaining capabilities, and this characteristic is demonstrated most vividly in canned meat products.

Emulsified Soy Protein Isolate: An Innovative Force in the Food Industry

图片
Emulsified soy protein isolate represents an innovative achievement in the field of soy protein isolates. It starts with high-quality soybeans and undergoes multiple meticulous purification processes to remove non-protein components such as fats and carbohydrates from the soybeans, resulting in an extremely pure soy protein. The finished product appears as a fine powder with uniform color and an exceptionally high protein content, typically exceeding 90%, far surpassing that of ordinary soy protein products. In terms of advantages, emulsified soy protein isolate boasts superior emulsification stability, rapidly forming a stable emulsion in oil-water systems and preventing oil droplet aggregation and layering. In baked goods, it effectively emulsifies fats, ensuring uniform internal structure, soft texture, and extended shelf life for products like bread and cakes. Its outstanding nutritional enhancement effect is also remarkable. As a high-quality plant protein, it is rich in essential...

The Role of Soy Fiber in Sauces

图片
Sauces play an indispensable role in our diet. Whether it is ketchup that adds color and flavor to dishes or meat sauce that gives dishes a unique flavor, they all add rich flavors to our dining tables with their unique charm. And soy fiber also plays a key role in these sauces, contributing to improving the quality and optimizing the taste of sauces. Thickening effect Soybean fiber can increase the viscosity of sauces, giving them an appropriate flowability and texture. For example, when making salad dressing, adding soy fiber enables the dressing to adhere better to the surface of vegetables. It won't be too thin and runny, thus enhancing the eating experience. In ketchup, it can also make the ketchup maintain a certain shape when squeezed out of the bottle and not quickly flow and deform. Improving taste Soy fiber can endow sauces with a rich taste. It can make the taste of the sauce more full-bodied and layered, avoiding a too single and plain taste. Take broad bean paste as an...
