New research links eating higher amounts of red meat to developing type 2 diabetes. Nutritionists say it may be due to a slew of factors or the meat itself. Dietary guidelines recommend having no more than one serving of red meat a week.There are a lot of factors that go into developing type 2 diabetes, but eating habits are a big one public health agencies emphasize. Now, new research has found that one food in particular may raise your risk of developing the disease: red meat.
Red meat is high in calories and saturated fat, which research has found can reduce the sensitivity of insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas that helps sugar enter the body’s cells where it’s used for energy, Cohen says. The study’s researchers also noted that high plasma ferritin levels—which indicate how much iron is in someone’s body—may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. “We need enough iron but, when we have too much, there’s the possibility of cell damage,” Cording says.
