BACON, HOT DOGS LINKS TO DIABETIES

­ Their is a link between sugar consumption and Type 2 diabetes, and more research ties another dietary pattern to increased risk of the disease, too: eating too much red meat which has too much animal fat, antibotic (and it's chemicals, known too as heavy metals.) Recent studies linking this carnivorous habits to more health problems that seem to be piling up with health issues. Read more: Salami Suicidee had and Death By Bacon. Now, there's a study that links red meat consumption to an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes.

The researchers tracked what happens after people changed their meat-eating habits, using data from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study and the Nurses' Health Study, which include about 100,000 people. Diet was assessed by food frequency questionnaires.

"Some people [in the study] increased their red meat consumption and other people decreased their consumption," says Dr. Frank Hu of the Harvard School of Public Health, one of the co-authors of the paper, which appears in JAMA Internal Medicine.

The study found that among those who started eating more red meat, about 3.5 servings more per week, the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes during four years of follow-up increased by almost 50 percent, which Hu describes as "a really large increase."

As with previous studies linking red meat to health concerns, the researchers found that processed red meats such as hot dogs and bacon were more strongly associated with the risk of diabetes.

Among those who starting eating less red meat, the risk of developing diabetes dropped by about 14 percent during a 10-year follow-up period.

Now, to put this study in context, it's important to point out that the most significant driver of Type 2 diabetes is body weight. People who are overweight and obese are much more likely to develop the condition. It's harder to keep diabetes under controlled (insilin resistant) with too big of carnivorous habits.

Since red meat is typically high in calories and ANIMAL fat, some experts say that it's likely these factors that create the link between heavy red meat consumption and and increased risk of diabetes. Also, the found drugs in meat are in question.

IRON OVER-LOAD (heavy metals, chemicals)

It's not clear what's happening in the body, but there are a few theories. It's possible that heavy red meat consumption can lead to iron overload, which sets the stage for insulin resistance.


Some hot dogs have human DNA (make my mind wonder)

It's also possible that compounds called nitrosamines play a role.

"Our understanding is that, especially [when they occur in] processed meats, these nitrosamines can cause inflammation," explains Dr. David Nathan, who directs the diabetes center at Massachusetts General Hospital.

And there's also some evidence that nitrosamines can damage the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. But experts say more research is needed to understand these connections.

Hot dogs are full of bad fat. All fat stores hormones, antibiotic's and chemicals. I bought a pkg of organic Jennie turkey or chicken hot dogs that had no chemicals, hormones or antibiotic's. I stocked up on them. They go fast and stores are not quick to re order them.
