A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An
