Background: The effects of dairy products on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are unclear. Some studies have revealed the beneficial effects, whereas others found harmful effects of dairy products on the risk of T2DM. The objective of the present study was to investigate the association of different types of dairy products with risk of T2DM in Iranian adults.

- * Researchers conducted a case-control study with 258 individuals with TGA and 520 without, using a food frequency questionnaire to assess fat intake.
- * Findings indicate that higher intake of alpha-linolenic acid (a type of omega-3) is linked to a lower risk of TGA, while higher intake of n-6 fatty acids is associated with an increased risk, even after accounting for other factors.
Background: The association between breast cancer (BC) and different indices of dietary fats has not been well-studied. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the association between BC and dietary fat quality (DFQ) indices in Iranian women.
Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 120 women with breast cancer and 240 healthy women in Tehran, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- This study explored how the FTO rs9939609 genetic polymorphism affects the relationship between dietary fiber intake and colorectal cancer (CRC).
- Researchers conducted a case-control study with 160 CRC patients and 320 healthy individuals in Tehran, using food frequency questionnaires to assess dietary habits.
- The findings suggest that individuals with the AA/AT genotype of the FTO rs9939609 polymorphism showed lower CRC risk associated with higher dietary fiber intake, indicating a potential genetic influence on the effect of fiber on CRC risk.
