The study investigated the relationship between meat consumption and diabetes. The study included 243 participants with diabetes.
The study found:
(a) Those who consumed the most unprocessed red meat had a 10% reduced risk of diabetes compared to those who consumed the least unprocessed red meat.
(b) Those who consumed the most processed meat had a 63% increased risk of diabetes compared to those who consumed the least unprocessed red meat.
The data from the study reveals unprocessed red meat is associated with a reduced risk of diabetes whereas processed meat is associated with a higher risk of diabetes.
