A new study by Harvard researchers suggests that eating just two servings of red meat per week may increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, was based on a large observational data from more than 200,000 people. The study also found that replacing red meat with plant-based protein sources, such as nuts and legumes, may reduce the chances of developing the condition.

I find this most interesting in that my dialysis team has consistently encouraged me to eat more meat to bolster my lab readings. Seems to be yet another contradiction, doesn’t it?
well I am a rare example then, for I have eaten red meat consistently over the 83 years of my life! Not saying I don’t have health problems, but diabetes is not one of them.
