Co-founder of Truemed Calley Means joins ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ to discuss the health benefits of eating real meat versus plant-based, calling it ‘toxic sludge.’ A diet high in meat — particularly processed meat and unprocessed red meat — could increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes , according to new research from the University of Cambridge. In analyzing data from nearly two million people who participated in 31 studies across 20 countries, the researchers found that eating 50 grams of processed meat per day — equivalent of two slices of ham or bacon, or one small sausage — led to a 15% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the next decade, as a press release from the university noted.
Eating 100 grams of unprocessed red meat per day — roughly a small steak — led to a 10% greater risk. ADULTS WITH DIABETES REAP HEART-HEALTH BENEFITS FROM BAKED POTATOES, NEW RESEARCH REVEALS The findings were published in The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology. Eating 100 grams of poultry initially was shown to increase type 2 diabetes risk by 8%, but that link became weaker when tested in different scenarios, which suggests that further research is needed.
