“…The urban dietary pattern, characterised by frequent intakes of beef/mutton, vegetables, tubers and roots, and refined carbohydrates, was positively associated with MetS and its components, including central obesity and low HDL-cholesterol. This finding was surprising as dietary patterns rich in vegetables are generally associated with less metabolic disorders (32)(33)(34)(35)(36) . The counterintuitive results could be explained by the presence of other food groups in this pattern (e.g.…”

“…Chan School of Public Health found a remarkable inverse association between higher adherence to the plant-based dietary pattern and the risk of T2DM (relative risk, 0.77; 95% CI , 0.71–0.84) in comparison to poorer adherence [ 4 ]. Our previous research revealed that vegetarians have higher insulin sensitivity and lower fasting insulin level in comparison with the matched omnivores [ 7 ]. This may be ascribed to the consumption of plant foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals and lower consumptions of red and processed meat [ 4 ].…”

“…In fact, there is evidence on vegetarians having lower fasting insulin level and higher insulin sensitivity compared with matched omnivores. 18 Moreover, these diets are considered to have a low inflammatory load to the point of being considered as an approach to lower inflammatory markers in patients with coronary artery disease. 19 …”
