Researchers found that substituting red meat with other forms of protein can help lower your risk of diabetes.
from WED 7:00 AM MST until THU 7:00 PM MST, Lake Havasu and Fort Mohave, Lake Mead National Recreation Areaof over 200,000 men and women who provided information on their diets using a validated questionnaire starting in 1980, and researchers updated this information every four years. Researchers also collected data from the participants related to other aspects of their diet, physical activity, smoking, and other risk factors to adjust for the findings in their analysis.
"We found that the greater amount of red meat, the greater the risk of type 2 diabetes. Importantly, we found that the risk was lowest when people replaced red meat with plant sources of protein, such as nuts, soy foods, and beans, or modest amounts of dairy foods. Replacing red meat with sugar or refined grains would not likely reduce risk."are associated with increases in the risk of type 2 diabetes, compared to healthy plant-based sources of protein.
"Importantly, a relation between red meat and risk of type 2 diabetes has been seen in many studies before, so this is a reproducible finding, but our study provided additional detail about the amounts that would minimize risk," Willet said. The team explained that their study supports current dietary recommendations for limiting red meat consumption and reinforces the need to eat other types of protein.While Willet doesn’t point to a specific nutritional regimen to minimize a person’s chance of type 2 diabetes, he explains that incorporating healthy eating habits that can help.
"No single dietary practice will dramatically reduce risk of diabetes; but if we put together an overall healthy dietary pattern, this can have a major impact," Willet said. "Along with keeping red meat intake low, this would include consuming minimal amounts of soda and other sugary beverages, replacing refined grains with whole grains, emphasizing liquid plant oils as sources of fat, and eating generous amounts of fruits and vegetables.
