* This news is based on the following article: Evangelou E, Ntritsos G, Chondrogiorgi M, et al. Exposure to pesticides and diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Environ Intern 2016; 91: 60-8.doi: 10.1016/j.envint.2016.02.013

This review and meta-analysis of observational studies assessing the association between pesticide exposure and diabetes suggests that organochlorines can affect type 2 diabetes. The authors recommend that other less studied classes of pesticides be considered in future research.
