Eating too much processed meat, particularly SPAM, but not unprocessed red meat may increase risk of type 2 diabetes, according to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
American Indians are known to have a high risk for diabetes type 2 and by age 55 years, 50 percent of them develop the disease. The study was intended to examine the association between consumption of processed meat and unprocessed red meat and risk of diabetes type 2 in this population.
