Surprising study finds beef doesn’t worsen blood sugar or diabetes risk
A recent study indicates that daily beef consumption may not negatively impact blood sugar levels or diabetes risk in individuals with prediabetes. The clinical trial involved participants consuming beef or poultry for a month, with no significant differences observed in metabolic health markers. These findings challenge previous assumptions about the risks associated with beef in the diet of those at risk for type 2 diabetes.
- ▪The study involved 24 adults with prediabetes who consumed either beef or poultry for 28 days each.
- ▪Researchers found no significant differences in blood sugar regulation or insulin function between the two diets.
- ▪The research suggests that regular beef intake does not adversely affect metabolic risk factors compared to poultry.
