Det finns mycket forskning om vilken kost som minskar risken för typ 2-diabetes, men det behövs mer kunskap om hur våra gener påverkar vår förmåga att bryta ner mat. Nu ger en ny studie som har letts av forskare vid Lunds universitet ökat stöd för att variationer i en gen som kallas AMY1 har betydelse för hur våra kroppar tar hand om stärkelserik mat. Ohälsosamma matvanor är en riskfaktor för att
