Recently, a study made headlines linking red meat consumption to an increased risk for type 2 diabetes. It’s no secret that navigating the realm of nutrition has become a challenge for the general public. 

That’s why, on today’s Health Bites episode, we’re diving deep into the findings from this study, “Red meat intake and risk of type 2 diabetes in a prospective cohort study of United States females and males,” published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

I unpack the study’s design flaws, inaccuracies, and where the researchers got it straight up wrong. 

In this episode, I discuss:
- What we can and cannot learn from observational research
- “Red meat intake and risk of type 2 diabetes in a prospective cohort study of United States females and males” study design and findings
- Issues with the study design and why it does not prove that red meat causes type 2 diabetes
- What have other studies found?
- The root cause of type 2 diabetes
- Strategies to address type 2 diabetes
