Long-term exposure to low-level arsenic in drinking water and diabetes incidence: A prospective study of the diet, cancer and health cohort [1]

Established causes of diabetes do not fully explain the present epidemic. High-level arsenic exposure has been implicated in diabetes risk, but the effect of low-level arsenic exposure in drinking water remains unclear. The researchers sought to determine whether long-term exposure to low-level arsenic in drinking water in Denmark is associated with an increased risk of diabetes using a large prospective cohort.
