High intake of amino acids from meat, milk tied to higher type 2 diabetes risk

  • A new study shows that high consumption of certain types of amino acids is linked to a higher incidence of type 2 diabetes.
  • After accounting for demographics and lifestyle, the findings did not indicate a significant nonlinear association between dietary amino acids and type 2 diabetes risk. This suggests there are other factors that need to be taken into consideration.
  • Foods rich in branched chain amino acids include beef, chicken and pork.
