WHILE cheese can be a healthy part of a balanced diet, certain types could raise your risk for type 2 diabetes, scientists warn.
A new study has revealed how particular dairy products can increase your risk of type 2 – and which types can offer a surprising protective effect.

Type 2 diabetes isa chronic condition where your body doesn't produce enough insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels.
Prolonged high blood sugar levels, or hyperglycemia, can lead to serious long-term complications, including damage to blood vessels, nerves, kidneys, eyes, and an increased risk of and .
The condition is becoming a major public concern worldwide.
Projections indicate a significant rise in type 2 diabetes cases in the UK, with estimates suggesting thatby 2025, over five million people will be diagnosed, and by 2030, potentially one in 10 adults could have diabetes.
The rise in type 2 diabetes cases is primarily being driven by increasing rates of .
And now new research, involving Swedish adults, has found high intake of non-fermented milk and cheese could also raise of the chronic condition.
In 2013, Sweden had the fourth-highest per capita milk consumption worldwide, with an average of 341.2 kg per person and year (excluding butter).
In the study, investigated the impact of high intakes of different dairy products on the risk of type 2 diabetes, but also explored plasma metabolites (small molecules that circulate in blood plasma) associated with dairy intake.
The researchers analysed dairy intake data from 26,461 Swedish individuals who participated in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS) between 1991 and 1996 and were followed up until December 31, 2020.
The dairy products analysed in the study included non-fermented milk, fermented milk (yoghurt and sour milk), cheese, cream and butter.
About 17 per cent of study participants developed type 2 diabetes during the average follow-up period of 24 years.
The analysis, adjusting for demographic characterises, lifestyle factors, dietary intake, and , revealed high consumption of non-fermented milk and cheese can significantly increase the risk of developing diabetes.
In contrast,high consumption of fermented milk, cream, and butter was associated with significantly reduced risk of diabetes.
Specifically it was found a 100g increase in daily intake of non-fermented milk and fermented milk is associated with a 4 per cent increased risk and a 3 per cent reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, respectively.
The researchers also found the link between dairy product intake and diabetes risk is independent of participants' socioeconomic status.
Similarly, no significant impact of participants' gender was observed on the association between intakes of non-fermented milk, fermented milk, cream, and butter and the risk of diabetes.
But the negative impact of cheese intake on diabetes risk was found to be stronger in male participants, but not in female participants.
Diet is one of the major modifiable .
