Flavonoids may have cardioprotective effects, but epidemiological evidence on the relationship of dietary flavonoids with diabetes has not been systematically assessed. To examine the association between dietary flavonoids and type 2 diabetes, we performed a meta-analysis on this topic. We searched...
