A dietary pattern high in fruit, dairy products, and sweets is associated with lower blood pressure, lower urinary albumin excretion (UAE), and lower brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in T2DM patients.
A diet high in fruit, dairy, and sweets is associated with lower blood pressure and arterial stiffness (baPWV) in T2DM patients. This benefit may come from nutrients in fruit (antioxidants, fiber) and dairy (calcium, potassium, magnesium), which may offset the negative effects of sweets. However, this is an observational finding and does not recommend increasing sugar intake.
The 'Fruit, Dairy products and Sweets' pattern was associated with lower γ-glutamyl transpeptidase levels, blood pressure, albuminuria and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity.
Why this rating
Cross-sectional design; self-reported data; potential for reverse causality.
