Cambridge-led study of 2m people globally is most comprehensive evidence yet of red meat link to diabetes
Eating processed or red meat increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, with just two slices of ham a day raising the danger by 15%, the largest study of its kind suggests.
Research led by the University of Cambridge and involving 2 million people worldwide provides the most comprehensive evidence yet of a link between meat and the disease that presents one of the most pressing dangers to global health.
More than 400 million people have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, which is a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, strokes and lower limb amputation. As well as maintaining a healthy weight and moving more, evidence suggests one of the main ways to lower the risk of the disease is improving diet.
Yeah, it’s a side effect of wanting to show wealth.
When we do have sides, they’re usually fried, drenched in a sugary topping, or just carbs and cheese.
Pick any other type of historical diet, and the sides was what filled up the plate. Because the protein source was the most expensive. But because Americans always think more expensive means better, we supersized the protein and replaced all the cheap healthy stuff.
Making food both more expensive and also unhealthy.
I really thought with Covid and the recession we’d see a return to beans and rice as a staple. But people are still getting fast food burgers, fries, and a liter of cola.
We’re literally spending more to get worse food on a national scale, and I have no idea why.
