Study Links Meat Consumption to Increased Type 2 Diabetes Risk

Research involving nearly 2 million people finds significant associations with processed and red meat, while the link with poultry remains uncertain.

Eating 50 grams of processed meat daily raises type 2 diabetes risk by 15%.
Consuming 100 grams of unprocessed red meat daily is linked to a 10% higher risk.
The study analyzed data from 31 cohorts across 20 countries.
Researchers call for limiting processed and red meat intake to reduce diabetes cases.
Further investigation is needed to understand the poultry-diabetes connection.
