Study: Red Meat Linked To Increased Diabetes Risk

The path to diabetes may involve what’s on your dinner plate.  A study in JAMA Internal Medicine, a journal of the American Medical Association found a relationship found between meat and Type 2 diabetes.

FOX News Radio’s Bill Vitka reports:

There may be a link between red meat and diabetes. People who bump-up their red meat intake raise the risk of Type 2 diabetes.

The study, funded by NIH, that when red meat consumption goes up by more than a half-serving a day, over four years, it multiplies the diabetes threat by 48%.

Other doctors say red meat in and of itself is not necessarily the problem. It’s not the type of protein, it’s the type of fat, and people can help themselves by choosing lean cuts of meat.
