With diabetes on the rise among young people in America as rates go up among teens and children by about 4.8 percent every year, according to U.S. News and World Report, a study at a Canadian university has found a way that could help control the effects of Type 2 diabetes or even prevent the disease — eat more lentils.
Researchers at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, say that based on their study published earlier this year in The Journal of Nutrition, there’s no need to switch to an all-lentil diet in order to gain the benefits of the lentil bean — a type of food called a “pulse.” Simply replacing half of the starches, such as rice or potatoes, in regularly-eaten dishes with one of three types of lentils can lead to a drop in blood glucose levels of up to 35 percent.
