Often eat in a hurry because of late gone to the office? Should leave this habit. A study showed that eating too quickly can increase the risk of diabetes by 2.5 times as much.

Researchers from Lithuania involving 702 people and 234 of whom had type 2 diabetes. They were asked to fill out questionnaires about their lifestyle, including diet, exercise, and smoking habits.

One question was about the speed of eating them, that if they eat faster, slower, or together with others. Weight participants were weighed to determine body mass index (BMI).

The researchers found that people who eat faster than others 2.5 times greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This conclusion was drawn after taking into account other factors such as obesity, smoking habits, food consumption, and a history of hereditary diabetes.

The results of this study were presented at the International Congress of Endocrinology and the European Congress of Endocrinology in Florence, Italy, recently.

Although the researchers did not explain why the fast food associated with type 2 diabetes, the Daily Mail thought that obesity is the cause of the intermediary. Past studies say that eating quickly makes the digestive system do not have time to give signals to the brain that the stomach is full. As a result, so eat more and potentially become obese, while obesity is a major cause of type 2 diabetes.

However, Professor David Speigelhalter of Cambridge University said that the scope of this study was too small. "This is one of the many studies that raises an interesting question, but does not prove causation. Immediately conclude that eating more slowly to reduce the risk of getting diabetes is a step that is not right, "said David.
