Dr. Berg is a little kooky about some things, but he's right on the money most of the time.

It is bogus. “Diet was assessed with food frequency questionnaires every two to four years, for up to 36 years.” That, alone, makes it bogus. This is a comment from Zoe Harcombe on a different study saying the same thing:
“When we looked at Gu et al last October, the definition of meat was one of the major issues. Based on a 1980 Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), processed red meats included beef or pork hot dogs; bacon; processed meat sandwiches; and other processed meats such as sausage. Unprocessed red meats included lean or extra lean hamburger; regular hamburger; beef, pork, or lamb as a sandwich or mixed dish (stew, casserole, lasagna etc); pork as a main dish; and beef or lamb as a main dish. The sandwich/lasagna (carbohydrate) confounder was therefore present in both processed and unprocessed red meat categories.”
That is on top of the silliness of pretending someone knows with any precision how much they ate of what foods during the previous 4 years!
“a new study led by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health”
The Harvard school is dominated by vegans. They ALWAYS attack eating any meat!
“Participants who ate the most red meat had a 62% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to those who ate the least.”
As always - meat will not spike insulin. But many who eat a lot of meat also eat a lot of other foods, including lots of carbs and simple sugars. A fat person eating a lot will also eat more meat than a lean person who doesn’t eat as much.
When I went keto 7 years ago, my calorie consumption drifted down. I now take in about half the calories I used to eat simply because I’m not hungry! This is a good thing, not a fault - with the price of food being what it is, eating half as much while still full is a blessing!
But there is no attempt in this study to deal with the healthy person issue: Healthy people LIVE differently, and there is no way - truly NO WAY - to account for that statistically.
If they wanted to know if meat eating resulted in diabetes, it would be a simple test: Look at carnivores living almost entirely on meat. Do THEY get diabetes? According to this study, I ought to be super diabetic. But I’m not. Not close. On Medicare and in better shape the the majority of current 30 year olds.
But they don’t WANT to know the truth!
Thanks h62
@In addition to health benefits, swapping red meat for healthy plant protein sources would help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, and provide other environmental benefits, according to the researchers.“
I ignore all diets. Don’t want to know keto or any other diet. I have already burned 84 candles. Don’t have a single health issue. Zero medical expenses. No aches or pains anywhere. My 2 keys are daily aerobic activity and moderate consumption of variety of foods. I forbid no food items. Only thing I avoid is coffee because it stimulates acid production in my stomach.
Instead of doing this type of study, why not put the energy into finding a cure and be rid of diabetes all together? Seems more prudent.
Thank you Mr. R.
Here we go again. Like a yo-yo.
BS. Beef has been consumed for hundreds of years with no diabetes issues. So what is different with beef products now? It’s the things they add into the beef and how they are raised and the feed they are fed, which isn’t green grass.
Just another excuse for the enviro nit wits to ban meat consumption. If we don’t win in November, it’s coming.
Oh let’s just cut to the chase: EVERYTHING CAUSES DIABETES!
The reason I ask is that a red meat consumption as part of keto is quite a bit different than red meat consumption in combination with a bunch of high-carb and sugary foods.
Please let me know just as soon the Obama/Harris/Pelosi crowd give up their prime rib.
Excellent question and related point.
This “study” is deliberately half-baked and deceptive.
Yup.
It sounds like this study might have been funded by Pepperidge Farms, Sara Lee, and Kellogg’s.;-)
Yes!

Everything kills you. That’s why the old folks said “All things in moderation.”
Only one chance to cure type 2. Practice 16 hour fasting every day for 6 months.
Harvard Health can shove it.
