Could Fish Oil Fatty Acids Raise a Woman's Risk for Diabetes?

reported, “Women who consume high amounts of meat, fish, eggs and other common foods rich in several different types of fatty acids may end up facing a greater risk for type 2 diabetes [T2D],” researchers found after tracking some “71,000 non-diabetic women between 1993 and 2011.” For example, “docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), an omega-3 fatty acid found in meat, fish and seafood,” was associated with “a 45 percent jump” in diabetes risk “among normal-weight women and a 54 percent jump for overweight women in the highest consumption group, compared to those in the lowest.” The findings were presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes. https://consumer.healthday.com/diabetes-information-10/type-ii-diabetes-news-183/could-fish-oil-fatty-acids-raise-women-s-risk-for-diabetes-714829.html
