According to Harvard School of Public Health researchers, eating red meat - especially processed products - increases your risk of type 2 diabetes.
They also found that you can significantly lower your diabetes risk by replacing red meat with healthier proteins, such as nuts, whole grains or low-fat dairy products.
A daily serving of 50 grams of processed meat - equivalent to one hot dog or sausage or two slices of bacon - was associated with a 51% increased risk of diabetes.
Among people who ate one daily serving of red meat, substituting one serving of whole grains per day reduced the risk of diabetes by 23%. Substituting nuts resulted in a 21% lower risk, and substituting a low-fat dairy product, a 17% lower risk.
