Eating red meat twice a week may increase type 2 diabetes risk, study finds

Experts claim latest research from Harvard University adds a greater level of certainty about the link

The chances of a person developing type 2 diabetes can increase even if they eat red meat just two times a week instead of an alternative option, researchers have said.

Replacing red meat with plant-based protein sources, such as nuts and legumes, may reduce the chances of developing the condition and would also help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and tackle climate change, according to experts at Harvard University.
