The connection between eating a lot of red meat and developing type 2 diabetes is like building a skyscraper on shaky ground. Just two servings of red meat per week can increase the risk, and the more red meat consumed, the higher the risk becomes. However, there’s good news! It seems that swapping out red meat for healthier protein sources like nuts, legumes, or a bit of dairy can help lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. In other words, it’s like changing the plans for the skyscraper to be built on sturdy foundation instead. This study confirms what we already suspected – that a diet rich in red meat could contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes. The findings suggest that dietary choices play an important role in preventing this chronic health condition. So, if you want to protect yourself from the risks of red meat, it might be time to explore plant-based protein alternatives or incorporate more dairy into your diet.
