00:00Mixing common food additives may increase type 2 diabetes risk.

00:05Researchers analyzed data from over 100,000 participants in the French Nutrinet Sente cohort,

00:12identifying two of five additive mixtures linked to increased diabetes risk.

00:16One mixture contained emulsifiers and modified starches,

00:20while another included acidifiers, colorings, and sweeteners,

00:23underscoring the significant connection between additive combinations and diabetes risk.

00:29Food additives in ultra-processed foods are linked to chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cancer.

00:38Mathilde Touvier's analysis of Nutrinet Sente cohort data identified five additive combinations,

00:45two increasing diabetes risk, emphasizing the importance of studying additive interactions beyond diet quality or demographics.

00:52The study identified two additive combinations linked to increased diabetes risk.

01:01Emulsifiers like pectin, modified starches, gar gum in processed foods, acidifiers, sweeteners,

01:09and emulsifiers in artificially sweetened sodas.

01:13These additives interact in complex ways, often impacting each other's effectiveness and altering the overall composition.

01:20Marie Payan de la Garanderie called these modifiable risk factors, suggesting prevention strategies.

01:27Dr. Touvier emphasized the importance of understanding additive interactions in diabetes risk, supporting experimental findings.

01:38Adopting healthy lifestyle habits like regular exercise and avoiding smoking can help delay or even prevent the development of type 2 diabetes.

01:47Losing 5-7% of body weight, eating healthily, and increasing physical activity are crucial.

01:53Aim for 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly.

01:56Monitor blood sugar if you have a family history.

01:59Choose water over sugary drinks to lower risk, as it contributes to insulin resistance.

02:05These changes significantly impact diabetes prevention.
