(01-07-10) Foods Rich in This Vitamin Reduce Your Diabetes Risk by 20%

People who get vitamin K from food may have a lower risk of developing type 2
diabetes.
Among 38,000 adults followed for a decade, those who got the most vitamin K in
their diets were about 20 percent less likely to be diagnosed with type 2
diabetes.
According to Reuters:
"It's estimated that more than 23 million, or nearly 11 percent, of U.S.
adults have type 2 diabetes ... The extent to which specific nutrients in the
diet might affect diabetes risk remains unclear."
Both vitamins K1 and K2 were related to a lower diabetes risk, but the
relationship was stronger with vitamin K2, which people get mainly from meat,
cheese and eggs.
