A study found that a simple sandwich filler could increase the risk of type 2 diabetes by 15 per cent.
Researchers led by the University of Cambridge analyzed data from nearly two million people and found that consuming 100 grams of unprocessed red meat a day (the equivalent of a small steak) increase 10 per cent risk of developing the disease.
The National Health Services (NHS) advises people who eat more than 90g of red meat such as beef, lamb, mutton, veal, venison and goat, or processed meat to limit their intake to 70g or less a day.
The results of the study, published in the journal The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology, support the recommendation to reduce meat consumption, the researchers said.
Professor Neeta Forohi, from the Medical Research Council (MRC) Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge, said: “Our research is the first to date on the link between eating processed meat and unprocessed red meat and a higher risk of type 2 diabetes in the future.
