Animal Protein Raises Diabetes Risk
According to a new study in this month’s issue of Diabetes Care,
diabetes risk increases with higher intake of total protein and animal
protein. The study from the European Prospective Investigation into
Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study and found that for every 5 percent of
calories consumed from protein instead of carbohydrate or fat, the risk
of developing diabetes increased 30 percent. Increased animal protein
intake coincided with increased intakes of saturated fat, cholesterol,
and heme iron, and with increased body mass index, waist circumference,
and blood pressure. Vegetable protein intake was not associated with
diabetes risk.
