A recent study, led by Professor Suvi Virtanen from the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare in Helsinki, suggests that the consumption of berries could be key in preventing type 1 diabetes in children. This disease, characterized by the destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, affects millions of people worldwide, and its onset in childhood is a growing concern for families.
The study suggests that the antioxidants found in berries, such as maqui, blueberries, and raspberries, have properties that may reduce inflammation and protect pancreatic cells. These fruits are not only recognized for their nutritional benefits but also for their potential to contribute to the prevention of chronic diseases, such as type 1 diabetes.
In general, strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, and other berries appeared to provide protection against type 1 diabetes. Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, were also associated with a lower risk.
