P. vulgaris beans such as those included in this study (pinto, black and dark red kidney beans) along with white rice are a traditional food combination consumed by many in the U.S. and around the world, particularly those in Latin America and countries within the Mediterranean and Middle East. As this study demonstrates, counseling patients to exclude cultural foods like the bean and rice combination may be unwarranted for persons with type 2 diabetes.
Como demuestra este estudio, el aconsejar a los pacientes que eliminen de su dieta una alimentación tradicional como es la combinación de judías y arroz, estaría injustificada en el caso de personas con diabetes tipo 2.
