Objective

To investigate the associations between intakes of different cooking oils and incident type 2 diabetes in a Chinese cohort.

Conclusions

The study found that intakes of lard, peanut oil, and refined blended plant oil were associated with higher risk of type 2 diabetes, while reducing the consumption of cooking oils overall may be protective against type 2 diabetes in the Chinese population.
