Type 2 Diabetes Risk Is Not Just About Sugar
Diabetes is not just a sugar issue.
A major meta-analysis from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that processed meat consumption was associated with:
- 42% higher risk of heart disease
- 19% higher risk of type 2 diabetes
Later research following more than 216,000 participants for up to 36 years found: “Each additional daily serving of processed red meat was associated with a 46% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.”
These findings reflect routine intake, not extreme diets.
