Regular consumption of processed meat linked to a higher risk of Type 2 diabetes, study finds

Salon  

Many studies have found that the consumption of processed meats is linked to a higher risk of various forms of cancer and heart disease. Additionally, the consumption of 100 grams of unprocessed red meat a day — or the “equivalent to a small steak” — was associated with a 10% higher risk of Type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, the associations between Type 2 diabetes and both processed meat and unprocessed meat “persisted.” “Our research provides the most comprehensive evidence to date of an association between eating processed meat and unprocessed red meat and a higher future risk of Type 2 diabetes,” Professor Nita Forouhi of the Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge, and a senior author on the paper, said in a statement. Dr. Chunxiao Li, a fellow lead author also of the MRC Epidemiology Unit, explained that examining data from individual participants meant that researchers could “ the key data collected across studies, such as the meat intake information and the development of Type 2 diabetes.” “Using data also meant we could more easily account for different factors, such as lifestyle or health behaviors, that may affect the association between meat consumption and diabetes,” she said. Based on the current findings, the study concluded that “lowering the consumption of unprocessed red meat and processed meat could benefit public health by reducing the incidence of Type 2 diabetes.” The recent study comes amid growing concerns surrounding processed foods and ultra-processed foods — a newfound threat to global public health, per many experts.
