Over the past two decades, type 2 diabetes has emerged as a leading
threat to global health, and the considerable overlap in obesity
and diabetes trends are likely no coincidence. While the
underpinnings for both etiologies are linked to lifestyles,
particularly dietary and physical activity patterns, determining
optimal approaches for preventing and managing type 2 diabetes
using dietary composition remains a challenge. Nutrition and Type 2
Diabetes: Etiology and Prevention rigorously examines various
perspectives on diet and type 2 diabetes. The book presents a
comprehensive description and evaluation of the central research to
date, primarily in humans, on the macronutrients and their
subclasses, micronutrients, foods, beverages, and overall dietary
patterns with respect to the risk of type 2 diabetes. It addresses
the mediating/mechanistic role of obesity and body composition
throughout the text where appropriate. The chapter authors, all
leading researchers in the field, discuss fundamental nutritional
principles applied to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes as
well as applied behavioral studies on nutrition and diabetes for
each subject area. The depth and breadth of this book includes
aspects of the "food synergy" model for understanding the
complicated pathways between nutrition, dietary habits, and risk
for type 2 diabetes. It also examines the effects of artificially
sweetened beverages and coffee. This reference provides a review of
the science on the potential impact of many components of dietary
behavior and nutritional properties on etiology and risk for this
disease, knowledge that is essential for formulating informed
approaches to public health progress in this area.
