title: The role of fats in the lifecycle stages. Adulthood--prevention: diabetes.
abstract: Total fat intake is not related to the risk of diabetes, but, while polyunsaturated fat reduces the risk, monounsaturated fat is neutral and saturated fat may increase the risk. Body weight is far more critical than macronutrient composition.
