The Hindu teki jutun
uusimmasta PURE-paperista, joka liitti rasvaisten maitotuotteiden syönnin pienempään riskiin sairastua metaboliseen oireyhtymään (MetS).
Tutkimuksen tekijöihin kuuluvan V. Mohanin mukaan rasvaisten maitotuotteiden syönnistä voi olla hyötyä myös diabetekseen jo sairastuneille esimerkiksi sen kautta, että se tuottaa kylläisyyttä ja auttaa siten painonhallinnassa, sekä siksi, että sillä on on suotuisia vaikutuksia suoliston mikrobiomiin.
Whole fat dairy products offer some health benefits, says study

“We also looked at why this might be happening,” said V. Mohan, founder, Madras Diabetes Research Foundation, and one of the authors of the study. This could be because of the effects dairy has on angiotensin converting enzyme that controls blood pressure; peroxisome proliferator activated receptors that play a role in gene expression, hepatic de novo lipo genesis or the liver’s synthesis of fat, hepatic and adipose fatty acid oxidation, again a function of the liver, and inflammation. “Further, there are some gut microbiomes that yoghurt or cheese fermentation makes available, and they improve insulin sensitivity,” he added.
Will these benefits also accrue to those who already have diabetes or hypertension? “Well, there is some evidence to show that dairy products help in causing satiety, so people don’t stuff themselves. There are known, definite health benefits with gut microbiota. But we need to do a randomised clinical trial to see if there are specific benefits for them,” Dr. Mohan explained.
