Easy to provoke diabetes eat high protein

Long-term big mouth to eat meat, high protein diet has been questioned, some studies found that the diet will hurt the kidneys and lead to the occurrence of colorectal cancer; now, the latest research indicates that eating red meat (especially processed), and type II diabetes.

Eat less red meat than women, the women ate red meat almost a third higher risk index and type II diabetes; in a large health research study, eat bacon, hot dogs and processed (cooked) meat female, suffering from type II diabetes risk 43% higher.

This is from the Harvard Medical School study group's latest findings, published in the September issue of the "Diabetes Care" journal.

Processing products induced insulin resistance

The researchers tracked more than 37,000 women over 45 years of age, the average observation period of eight years; all the women are joining before the experiment, complete a detailed questionnaire, and all without heart disease, cancer, or type II diabetes.

In the following up, there were 1,560 women who suffer from type II diabetes, the adjusted impact of diabetes related to the formation of other risk factors such as age, weight, and exercise, researchers continue to discover that the amount of consumption of red meat processing, and type II diabetes, the relationship between induced.

Compared to only eat once per week, red meat the women ate five or more red meat per week, of women, were found in the high diabetes risk index by 29%; while the same contrast in the processed meat, the risk index surged to 43%.

Yiqing Song, MD, a research team led by that for processed meat preservatives, additives, and other chemical components, including nitrate and nitrite, or is formed during processing of chemical substances can precipitate insulin resistance.

In addition, iron may play a key role in red meat and processed meat is rich in iron, which previous studies have shown that high iron concentrations and some related type II diabetes; In this experiment, compared with diet a small amount of iron for most women, the highest amount of iron intake of women, high risk of diabetes by 46%.

However, Song said the team physician, and whether the ingestion of red meat or processed meat, while the impact of the mechanism of type II diabetes remains uncertain, requiring further study.

Long-term studies of diabetes, said Frank Hu, MD, the latest research findings and his earlier, and others were the same; Hu, MD, has long been of different kinds of dietary factors on the impact of type II diabetes.

In his latest research published in the last month, mainly specializes in sugary drinks, studies show that regular consumption of high fructose syrup from the soda seasoned, the risk of diabetes than 80%.

Hu, MD, refined sugar, refined flour, and hydrogenated lipids increase the risk of diabetes seems to be the culprit; the prevention and fight against diabetes, the most important food, is the nuts and fiber-rich foods such as whole grains.

He pointed out that vision very clear, but there are still many unanswered questions, dairy products are still highly controversial; some studies show it may have protective effects, but its protective effect compared with nuts and whole grains, are still inferior to many .

Hu, MD, pointed out that the rapid rise in blood sugar can cause those with high blood glucose coefficient (GI) of food, which is worsening diabetes villain; low-carbohydrate, high protein diet also have a high GI value of foods to avoid; However, Dr Hu said, these are not a good choice for reducing the risk of diabetes.

He said that these dietary patterns, the proportion of fiber and whole grains are low, which are phytochemicals, minerals and an important source of antioxidants; these dietary patterns are rich in the saturated fat; Hu, MD Harvard Medical School in Boston School of Public Health associate professor of nutritional epidemiology cum.

American Diabetes Association President Robert Rizza, MD, said that when the researchers to identify a single food and diabetes risk is related, it is very important right, but the "weight control" and "movement" is long enough to risk being proven low-risk two ways.

He said that we can now find a lower risk of suffering from type II diabetes, the most powerful evidence is to maintain physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight, reduce saturated and hydrogenated fats, as, and more vegetable-based food important step for the process, we do not want people to overlook the importance of a comprehensive healthy lifestyle.
