In fact, new research suggests that a variety of tasty and healthy foods may actually lower your risk for diabetes. You _can_ lower your risk for diabetes, and still enjoy plenty of good food.
In the study published in the _Journal of Nutrition_, researchers wanted to find out if certain foods helped control blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes. They looked at the eating habits of about 2,000 people and their risk for diabetes over time.
Researchers found that the people who ate the most foods high in flavonoids such as berries, herbs, red grapes, dark chocolate, and a little wine had the lowest risk of developing diabetes. These healthy foods also helped reduce chronic inflammation and lower the risk for heart disease, obesity, and certain types of cancer.
