Diabetes type 2 has only 1 cause. Snacking frequently which leads to insulin resistance. Eating too much red meat combined with sedentary lifetyle will lead to other cardiovascular issues, not necessarily Diabetes type 2. Of course lots of red meat can lead to obesity which can also lead to diabetes.

Yep. I’m no scientist and I’m going to freely admit that I didn’t even read the full article, let alone try to dig into their research and references and I’m just dismissing it out of hand. Looks like utter propaganda BS on it’s face.

It has to be deceptive, at it’s very least, if not totally fraudulent.

If someone consumed ONLY red meat (which I would not advise, even as someone who is currently keto), there is absolutely no way they would go type2 diabetic.

However, if you ate lots of carbs and sugars, and threw in some steaks once in a while, sure!
But that’s complete deception. It’s not the red meat that does it. It’s all the other dietary mistakes. Having a steak once in a while doesn’t reverse them.

That’s as deceptive as the old cerial commercials from yor, when they used to say “Part of this complete nutritious breakfast” and they would show a table full of fruits and vegetables and orange juice and eggs and sausage, etc. The cereal has virtually nothing to do with the nutrition except empty calories. It’s pure deception.

Remember Harvard’s studies — funded by the sugar lobby — of the health benefits of sugar compated to fats.

“About the only thing that everyone has consistently agreed on is no refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup.”

Right.

I think it’s propaganda. They’ll start by pushing manufactured plant-based meat and end up advocating the consumption of bugs. The WEF says ‘You’ll have nothing, and like it.”

As I replied on this article previously, Junk Science.

The push to make red meat a villain never ends.

Consume HFCS and/or sugar on a regular basis without regular exercise and I will guarantee you a Type 2 ticket in your future.

Red meat has nothing to do with type 2 diabetes. This propaganda has one purpose, which is to paint red meat in a bad light.

The upside is, perhaps more idiots who buy into this nonsense will consume less beef, thus hopefully lowering the price of beef in the future.

I can always hope!

I have had Type II for 15 years now (genetic "gift" from both parents).

It's all about carbs and sugars (which are carbs), and combination of medicine that works for your body chemistry and lifestyle.

If you become fat with too many carbs/sugars in your blood stream, you are susceptible to developing Type II.

Red meat has no carbs, unless laced with sugar/honey/etc.

Again, this is propaganda to get animal protein out of your diet. Animal protein--in reasonable portions--makes one physically strong, mentally alert, and emotionally impenetrable.

Serious animal protein deprivation is a classic tool for cults to control people.

Why wouldn't a nefarious government use the same tactic to control its people?

This sounds like a propaganda study, funded by bug-pushing WEF types...

I’m 73 today and have eaten substantial levels of red meat my whole life and my blood sugars are fine and I’m not diabetic. My 47-year-old niece on the other hand loves pasta, potatoes and white rice dishes and has been diabetic for at least 20 years now.

I’ll keep earing me hamburgers and steaks.

Similar to what they say about beer. They blame beer for all the calories that beer drinkers get, but it's more likely all the snacks they eat while drinking beer.

Still, drinking too much beer is also bad...especially one brand in particular...

I am on a Carnivore diet. No carbs, and mostly meat and animal proteins. I am Type Ii, and I’m doing my best to get and keep my blood glucose levels lowered without medications or insulin shots. It is working, albeit slowly. I’m sticking with it, even though I’ve had to completely cut out stuff I like...including beer.

I’d rather give up stuff I like rater than my sight, my feet, or my life.

Harvard has it ass backwards again. This is the kind of science they do now.
