3. Use High-Fat Milk Instead of Low-Fat, And Here’s Why
The most appropriate type of milk for diabetics has always been a subject of debate among nutritionists. Even the experts used to recommend low-fat milk back then in a bid to avoid the high consumption of fat. Nicole Anziani, a registered dietitian, claims that low-fat milk actually contributes to raising your blood sugar. Wondering why? Well, simply because low-fat milk largely replaces fat with sugar, posing higher risks of diabetes.
Contrary to what people believed, a 2014 Swedish research suggested that consuming high-fat dairy products might lower the risk of diabetes. Several other studies suggest that high-fat milk doesn’t contribute to worsening diabetes or doesn’t even play a role in diabetes development. So, low-fat milk isn’t healthy or beneficial either way for overall health. Evidently, high-fat milk should always be the more desirable option for diabetics.
