Sliced ham has been found increase diabetes risks by up to 15% Eating just two slices of ham a day may increase the risk of developing 2 diabetes within the next decade by 15%, a large study has found. Data from nearly two million people – analysed by a team led by the University of Cambridge – also found that consuming 100 grams of unprocessed red meat a day – equivalent to a small steak – was associated with a 10% higher risk of developing the condition.
The researchers said the InterConnect data allowed the team to ‘more easily account for different factors, such as lifestyle or health behaviours, that may affect the association between meat consumption and diabetes’. It also included people usually under-represented in scientific research with cohorts from countries in the Middle East, Latin America and South Asia alongside Europe and the US.
