Hotdogs, Cold Cuts Significantly Increase Diabetes Risk | Processed Red Meats & Diabetes Risk | Harvard School of Public Health | LiveScience

Just in time to spoil your summer cookouts: Processed red meats such as hotdogs and cold cuts, the same things that make you fat and give you heart disease, may also increase your risk of diabetes.............

Just a daily serving of 50 grams — that's about two slices of cold cuts or one hot dog — is associated with more than a 50-percent increase in the risk of developing diabetes. .........

The reason might be the nitrites and nitrates often used to preserve this meat. These chemicals convert to nitrosamines in the stomach, which are toxic to pancreatic cells and increase the risk of diabetes in animals, the researchers said................

This analysis, appearing Aug. 10 online in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, is based on data from three major studies encompassing more than 200,000 adults, some of whom have been followed for nearly 30 years.............

This 50-percent increase in diabetes risk applies to anyone, either slim or fat, warned Pan. Being overweight or not exercising incurs yet additional risks.

so let me get this straight. eat a hot dog and you have a 50% more likely chance of getting diabetes.

The authors said that they think its the preservatives in the meat that appears to have an effect on the pancreas.

I am calling the whole "50%" thing into question bro.

they are saying a single hot dog increases your chance of diabetes by 50%, just 1 single hot dog right?

bro in my lifetime as a kid until now i bet i have had hundreds and hundreds of hot dogs and cold cuts.

so if 1 single hotdog increases by 50% one can only reason that I should have a 25,000 percent chance of getting diabeties. lol

its BS bro, nobody in my family has diabeties and they for sure ate all kinds of cold cuts and hot dogs etc..

the study just isnt real world bro, not even close. they must have made massive assumptions or skipped over a lot of hard data to come to that conclusion.

hold on hold on hold on..


"Just a daily serving of 50 grams"

"some of whom have been followed for nearly 30 years."


did they come to their conclusion based on people who ate cold cuts and hot dogs everyday for 30 years? lmao. if so, no shit those people are going to be disgusting sick slobs. lol
