Meat consumption linked to higher type 2 diabetes risk in observational study
Fox News
A diet high in meat — particularly processed meat and unprocessed red meat — could increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to new research from the University of Cambridge.
Eating 100 grams of unprocessed red meat per day — roughly a small steak — led to a 10% greater risk. "All this type of research can do is report a possible association between one thing and another." The World Health Organization recommends consuming no more than three portions — equivalent to about 12 to 18 ounces of cooked red meat — every week. "We are not understanding or assessing the rest of their diet, like how many vegetables people are consuming, or how much physical activity is happening."
