Red meat consumption does not increase the chances of diabetes

Red meat consumption does not increase the chances of diabetes

The study also showed that processed meats such as salami and mortadella were considered to be more harmful, since 50 grams of sausage per day can raise the chances of diabetes by 51%.

Reading the research report is also possible to find information that replaces the daily portion of meat with "lean" and even whole grains reduces the risk of disease. Among the possible explanations, the so-called iron-heme, common in red meats, causes damage to the beta cells of the pancreas? responsible for producing insulin.

It is important to leave some points clearer, and try to understand the results of this research. Here they are:

1) The study says consuming whole grains is better than consuming red meat.

2) Equating red meat with processed meat (eg, sausage, salami etc ...) also has no meaning, since the meat of cattle raised to pasture does not have preservatives like sodium, nitrites and nitrates as in sausages. This already distances the nutritional value of red meat from processed meat.

3) They observed that individuals consuming red meat were fatter and sedentary. These two factors may induce type 2 diabetes. If the participants did not have the same or at least similar BMI, the result loses scientific significance.

Equating red meat with processed meat also makes no sense, since beef The previous studies have already shown that the consumption of red meat from cattle raised in pasture is beneficial for slimming, preventing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. As overweight people eat large amounts of all foods, including red meat, many people mistakenly relate cardiovascular disease to this food.

5) Not all saturated fat is the same. Good saturated fat (from beef cattle raised in the pasture) helps in weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity. Man-made saturated fat (hydrogenated fat that generates trans fat) alters insulin sensitivity, which can cause increased blood glucose levels.

6) Our body needs red meat from grazing cattle to correct the imbalance of essential fatty acids Omega 3 and Omega 6. Today we can observe a tendency of very Omega 6 and little Omega 3 in the body. Studies have shown that this condition can worsen the insulin sensitivity that induces diabetes.

Beef, chicken or fish?

If we take our current textbooks on food guidance, we teach Brazilian children school age, we will see that its base is the food pyramid proposed by the North American Ministry of Agriculture in the 1990s.

However, a true revolution occurred in the food concepts, because Harvard researchers represented by Walter W. Willett, relate high rates of obesity, rheumatic diseases and other diseases, such as diabetes, cancer and atherosclerosis, to the diet of simple carbohydrates.

The healthy pyramid and inversion of the aforementioned proposal, and the refined foods produced in large amount to industry, occupy their peak meaning that they should be consumed in small quantities, and red meat in their base which means it should be consumed in large quantities.


Some Fats Can Protect the Heart

Some Fats Can Protect the Heart

It is common to think that people with higher cardiac risk should avoid any type of fat in their diets. In fact, what makes the difference is the type of fat you eat. There are, yes, fats that harm the heart and increase the risk of heart attacks. However, others may even protect the heart. Saturated fats are associated with increased bad cholesterol, known as LDL.
