Red meat boosts diabetes risk: US study

Dubious.
Two slices of bacon, a hot dog or a serving of deli meat daily has been found to significantly boost the risk of getting type 2 diabetes, said a major US study published on Wednesday.

The research by experts at the Harvard School of Public Health represents the largest study of its kind to date and appears in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Eating 50 grams of processed red meat every day increased a person's diabetes risk by 51 percent, while eating 100 grams of unprocessed red meat each day, about the size of a deck of cards, boosted the risk by 19 percent.

However, those risks went down if the red meat was substituted with nuts, white meat, low-fat dairy or whole grain proteins...

The data for the study came from questionnaire responses from more than 204,000 people in US nurses and health professionals' studies.
The lowest form of data is self-reported data.

Grain of salt.

The most common form of diabetes is Type 2.

That is fat person diabetes.

Weight control would do much more to prevent diabetes than avoiding a hot dog.
