Fresh fruit linked to lowered diabetes risk. Love snacking on fruit? You may have another reason to bite into that Granny Smith. For diabetics, eating too much sugar can pose a slew of health issues, which is why fruit often came under scrutiny for those with this condition. But in a recent study that tracked the diets of 512,891 Chinese people, they found that those who eat fresh fruit daily had a 12 percent lowered risk of developing diabetes compared to the group that didn’t add any fruit to their diet. For those participants who had diabetes, they had a 17 percent lowered risk of mortality and disease-related complications. While the explanation for this effect is not yet uncovered, it seems to indicate that fructose is treated differently in the body than regular white sugar and that the other nutrients in these items may have related benefits as well. As it turns out, certain fruits may actually support weight loss too.
