However, an increased intake of milk chocolate, but not dark, was associated with long-term weight gain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Researchers said further trials were needed to confirm the findings, which have been published in the BMJ.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diabetes.org.uk\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Diabetes UK<\/a> estimates that about 4.4 million people in the UK are living with a diabetes diagnosis, with an additional 1.2 million people possibly having undiagnosed type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The number of people under 40 diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the UK has risen 39% in six years, fuelled by rising obesity and cheap junk food.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Britain has one of the highest obesity rates in Europe. Two in three adults are overweight or obese and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/society\/nhs\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">NHS<\/a> spends \u00a36bn a year treating obesity-related ill-health. That is forecast to rise to \u00a310bn a year by 2050.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">As of 2022, about 830 million people globally have diabetes, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/world-health-organization\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">World Health Organization<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/society\/2024\/dec\/04\/eating-dark-chocolate-regularly-could-reduce-type-2-diabetes-risk-study-finds\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eating a few pieces of dark chocolate five times a week while avoiding milk chocolate has been linked to a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.
