Can it prevent or control diabetes?
No good evidence suggests a raw food diet accomplishes either, but by promoting weight loss, it could help.
Diabetes experts emphasize that weight gain from excessive caloric intake, regardless of where those calories come from, increases the risk of insulin resistance—a precursor to type 2 diabetes—in which the body does not respond as it should to the sugar-processing hormone insulin. Losing weight and keeping it off, whatever the diet, will almost certainly reduce your risk of developing the chronic disease.
