    One common type of fat may increase diabetes risk, while another helps fight it

    A review suggests that palmitic acid (found in meats, dairy, and palm oil) may increase type 2 diabetes risk by impairing insulin response, while oleic acid (found in olive oil, nuts, and eggs) may protect against insulin resistance. The study, led by the University of Barcelona and CIBERDEM, highlights that fat quality—not quantity—matters for diabetes risk, aligning with the benefits of the Mediterranean diet.
