WEYMOUTH, MA – June 10: Meat prices have risen, seen here at at Stop and Shop on June 10, 2022 in Weymouth, Massachusetts. Have you been trying to cut back on red meat? It could help you avoid a serious disease that affects tens of millions of people across the U.S.
“Our findings strongly support dietary guidelines that recommend limiting the consumption of red meat, and this applies to both processed and unprocessed red meat,” said first author Xiao Gu, a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Nutrition.While previous studies have found a link between red meat consumption and type 2 diabetes risk, this study now adds a greater level of certainty about the association.
Participants who ate the most red meat had a 62% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to those who ate the least. “Given our findings and previous work by others, a limit of about one serving per week of red meat would be reasonable for people wishing to optimize their health and wellbeing,” said senior author Walter Willett, a professor of epidemiology and nutrition.
