There are certain types of food that increase the risk of disease.It is commonly accepted for decades, although recently it has been found out that it not only affects what food is but how it has been cooked.For example, it has just been discovered that fried, grilled or baked food increases the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Food has a lot to do, especially diets high in processed sugars.Not only sugars or fats influence when developing type 2 diabetes: also if these foods have been cooked in the fryer, pan or oven.
It is a case similar to that of burned food or that of food too hot, since both increase the risk of cancer.The difference is that in this case the danger derived from a chemical reaction.
When food is cooked through some of the aforementioned forms, glycation occurs.It is a process that alters the chemical properties of food, causing an increase in insulin resistance.
To find out, a team from the Mount Sinai University in New York led a study with 100 patients.51 were provided with a low diet in cooked, boiled or smoked foods, while the rest was maintained their usual diet based on fried food, grilled or baked.
After a few months, the aforementioned relationship between the type of food and diabetes was discovered.The group of 49 people presented symptoms of growing insulin resistance, just the opposite of the one who changed their base diet.All this without having changed the type of food consumed, only the way of cooking it.
Despite the conclusive results of the study, the team that has made it alert about the conclusions that can be extracted.It is not enough to stop eating fried food to eliminate at the root the risk of type 2 diabetes, as well as stop eating cancer foods does not make cancer immune immune.
The main cause of type 2 diabetes is obesity, so a balanced diet and exercise will be sufficient to reduce risk factors.If this diet also consists of cooked or boiled foods, much better.Even so, it is necessary to understand that danger cannot be completely eliminated, since genetic predisposition also influences.
