Red Meat - Diabetes - Fruits & Vegetables
A recent article from The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition discusses the findings in a study about the link between diabetes and eating red meats. One group ate 3.5oz servings of non-processed red meats a day. Another group ate only half that amount of processed meat. Perhaps surprisingly, the group eating non-processed red meet were more likely to develop type 2 diabetes(T2D) by nearly 20%, while the group eating half the amount of processed red meat were at a 51% higher risk.
In a statement to WebMD, Shalene McNeill, PhD, RD, the executive director of human nutrition research at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, says, “The most important health advice for reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes is to manage your weight, be physically active and follow a diet consistent with Dietary Guidelines which includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products and protein such as lean beef.”
