The Claim
A higher-quality diet, as measured by the Lifelines Diet Score (LLDS), is associated with a 46% lower risk of type 2 diabetes and a 38% lower risk of all-cause mortality in adults, independent of cheese consumption.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Adults who eat a higher-quality diet, based on the Lifelines Diet Score, have a 46% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes and a 38% lower risk of dying from any cause, regardless of how much cheese they consume.

Eating more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish, and tea reduces inflammation in the body and improves how cells respond to insulin, which lowers blood sugar and prevents diabetes and early death.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who ate more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish, and tea — and less red meat and sugary drinks — had much lower risks of diabetes and early death, no matter how much cheese they ate. Cheese didn’t help or hurt, but the healthy diet did.
