Study Reveals Certain 'Healthy' Foods May Increase Type 1 Diabetes Risk in Children

Research from Finland links oats, rye, and some fruits to higher diabetes risk, while berries and cruciferous vegetables offer protection.

Researchers followed 5,674 genetically predisposed children from birth to age six.
Higher consumption of oats, rye, bananas, and fermented dairy products was linked to increased diabetes risk.
Berries like strawberries, blueberries, and lingonberries were found to lower the risk of type 1 diabetes.
Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower also showed protective effects.
Experts caution that the findings are preliminary and further research is needed before making dietary recommendations.
