Summary
Dietary fat quality—not the amount consumed—may play the bigger role in type 2 diabetes risk, scientists said in the latest warning.

The report adds to public-health focus on type 2 diabetes prevention by pointing consumers toward food choices based on fat type rather than simply cutting overall fat.
