French study links common food preservatives to up to 49% higher type 2 diabetes risk.
A large French study of over 100,000 adults links higher intake of food preservatives—especially non-antioxidant types like potassium sorbate, sodium nitrite, and citric acid—to a significantly increased risk of type 2 diabetes, with some additives raising risk by up to 49%.
The research, based on dietary records from 2009 to 2023, found 1,131 new diabetes cases and showed preservatives may mediate the link between ultra-processed foods and diabetes.
While not proving causation, findings align with experimental evidence suggesting metabolic harm.
Researchers call for further study and potential reevaluation of additive safety standards.
