Nutritionists have long argued that fatty fish rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have a beneficial effect on heart and brain health and also help prevent inflammation, depression and the onset of tumors..

But French scientists from the University of Paris-Saclay found that excessive consumption of oily fish can be fraught with the development of type 2 diabetes. According to experts, while nutritionists advise people to eat up to 4 servings of oily fish per week, exceeding this amount can be harmful.

Having estimated 70,000 women, the researchers found that high intake of omega-3 fatty acids, which are also found in red meat, increases the risk of developing diabetes by almost a quarter. Women, whose daily diet contained about 1.6 g of polyunsaturated fatty acids, were 26% more likely to have diabetes.

However, scientists believe that instead of eliminating fatty fish from the diet, red meat intake should be reduced to reduce the risk of diabetes..
