Another major contributor to diabetes is chemical exposure. And if you think that you are not exposed to chemicals because you don’t work in a factory, let’s say, think again. Even some products we use daily can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Numerous studies have found various connections between chemicals like dioxins, phthalates, PCBs, BPA, and type 2 diabetes. In fact, a recent study suggests that women who have high levels of phthalates in their urine have a 70 percent greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes than those with low levels. Try to eliminate products that contain these chemicals.
