Red Meat Linked to Increased Diabetes Risk
The researchers found that increasing the consumption of red meat can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 48 percent.
"There is no need to have more red meat on your plate; it increases the risk of diabetes," said an assistant professor at the Saw Swee Hock School..
"It is better to reduce your red meat consumption by replacing it with other healthy food choices, like beans, legumes, soy products, nuts, fish, poultry and whole grains," he added.
