high magnesium intake is associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract:

"OBJECTIVE:-To examine the association between magnesium intake and risk of type 2 diabetes.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-We followed 85,060 women and 42,872 men who had no history of
diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or cancer at baseline. Magnesium intake was evaluated using
a validated food frequency questionnaire every 2-4 years. After 18 years of follow-up in women
and 12 years in men, we documented 4,085 and 1,333 incident cases of type 2 diabetes,
respectively. RESULTS:-After adjusting for age, BMI, physical activity, family history of
diabetes, smoking, alcohol consumption, and history of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia
at baseline, the relative risk (RR) of type 2 diabetes was 0.66 (95% CI 0.60-0.73; P for trend
<0.001) in women and 0.67 (0.56-0.80; P for trend <.001) in men, comparing the highest with
the lowest quintile of total magnesium intake. The RRs remained significant after additional
adjustment for dietary variables, including glycemic load, polyunsaturated fat, trans fat,
cereal fiber, and processed meat in the multivariate models. The inverse association persisted
in subgroup analyses according to BMI, physical activity, and family history of diabetes. CONCLUSIONS:-
Our findings suggest a significant inverse association between magnesium intake and diabetes
risk. This study supports the dietary recommendation to increase consumption of major food
sources of magnesium, such as whole grains, nuts, and green leafy vegetables."

Thanks Matti. Another interesting study.

Would caution folks about the cited study. They used the same dataset that gave us the spurious
association between vitamin C/E and decreased cardiovascular events.

Humbly,
