英國醫學雜誌上的一項研究表明多吃水果，尤其是草莓，蘋果和葡萄，跟降低患2型糖尿病的風險有關係。

Blueberries cut the risk by 26% comparedwith 2% for three servings of any whole fruit - but fruit juice did not appearto have the same effect.

跟其他三種可以減少2%風險的新鮮水果相比，藍莓可以減少26%的風險,但是果汁似乎沒有同樣的效果。

Researchers from the UK, US and Singaporeused data from three large studies of nurses and health professionals in the USto examine the link between fruit consumption and the risk of contractingtype-2 diabetes.

來自英國美國和新加坡的研究人員使用來自三個美國大型醫療保健研究中心的數據來檢查水果消費和患2型糖尿病風險之間的聯繫。

該研究使用食物頻率問卷來追蹤參與者每四年一次，關於多久一次，平均而言，每種水果他們所吃的量都是標準的。

The fruits used in the study were grapes orraisins, peaches, plums or apricots, prunes, bananas, cantaloupe, apples orpears, oranges, grapefruit, strawberries and blueberries.
