Diet and diabetes

Risk ratios for red and processed meat and t2d

Both unprocessed red and processed meat consumption are associated with incident diabetes, with higher risk per g of processed (RR per 50 g: 1.51, 95% CI = 1.25–1.83) versus unprocessed (RR per 100 g: 1.19, 95 % CI = 1.04–1.37) meats[1]

Neuenschwander et al., 2023 found reduced T2D when swapping red and processed meat for whole grains and cereals, and when subbing
