meat linked to increased diabetes risk: meta-analysis
|
|
|
high intake of processed meat may increase the risk of developing type-2 diabetes by 40 per cent, according to a new meta-analysis from norway and the us. data from 12 cohort studies showed that high intakes of all types of meat were associated with a 17 per cent increase in the risk of type-2 diabetes, while similar risk increases were also noted for high intakes of red meat. the study, published in the journal diabetologia, adds to an ever increasing list of bad news for red and processed meat, following previous studies from the us national cancer institute (nci) that reported high intakes of red and processed meats may raise the risk of lung and colorectal cancer by up to 20 per cent. the world cancer research fund published a report in 2007 that directly linked diet to cancer, with alcohol and red and processed meats posing particular risks. earlier this year, the same authors published similar findings from a study with half a million people, noting that that increased consumption of red and processed meat may have a modestly increased risk of death from all causes and also from cancer or heart disease (archives of internal medicine, vol 169, pp. 562-571). the archives study was described by barry popkin from the university of north carolina as “excellent” in an accompanying editorial. popkin added that the results “reiterate the concerns echoed in other major reviews and studies on the adverse effects of excessive meat intake”. the new meta-analysis, led by dagfinn aune from the university of oslo, sought to iron out the inconsistencies from previous studies which found both positive and negative associations between meat consumption and the risk of type-2 diabetes. of the 12 cohort studies pooled, the overall data suggested the high intake of total meat increased the risk of diabetes by 17 per cent, while red meat and processed meat were associated with 21 and 41 per cent increases in diabetes risk. “these results suggest that meat consumption increases the risk of type 2 diabetes,” said the researcher. “however, the possibility that residual confounding could explain this association cannot be excluded,” they concluded. a direct mechanistic study of how meat may affect diabetes risk has not been performed. however, an earlier study from harvard university suggested several “possible biologically adverse effects of components in red and processed meats”, including saturated fatty acids and cholesterol. however, their study (diabetologia, 2006, vol. 49, pp. 2604-13) failed to find an association between these components. another possibility is the effect of nitrites, frequently used as preservatives in processed meats. “nitrosamines can be formed by the interaction of amino compounds with nitrites present either in the stomach or within the food product,” they explained. “they have been linked to beta cell toxicity. in addition, low doses of the nitrosamine streptozotocin were found to induce type 2 diabetes in animal models,” they added. the possible effects of “residual confounding” and uncertainty over the possible mechanism show that more research is clearly needed in this area.

a controlled study conducted in the u.s by researchers at the national cancer institute indicates that men and women whose diets are high in red or processed meats are more likely to die from cancer or heart disease. the study included data collected over a 10-year period between 1995 and 2005, and involved half a million males and females between the ages of 50 and 71.according to the results of the study, published this week in the archives of internal medicine, those who ate 4 ounces of red meat per day - or a serving equal to a small steak - had a more than 30 percent increased mortality rate compared to those who ate the smallest amount of red meat.

women who eat a lot of processed meats, such as salami and hot dogs, are at a higher risk of ovarian cancer, according to a new australian study. at the same time, those who eat a lot of fish have a lower risk of the deadly tumors, dr. penny m. webb of gynecological cancers group at queensland institute of medical research in brisbane, australia, and colleagues found. in their report in the american journal of clinical nutrition, the team also found no link between red meat and the cancer, and just a slightly lower risk among women who consumed large amounts of poultry.

a report based on data from 12 pooled cohort studies on heavy meat diets was led by dagfinn aune from the university of oslo and published in the journal diabetologia. the study determined that the high intake of processed meat may increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 41 percent. this new meta-analysis was conducted jointly from norway and the us. the general conclusions of the study suggested that: "high intake of total meat increased the risk of diabetes by 17 percent, while red meat and processed meat were associated with 21 and 41 percent increases in diabetes risk.

new research supports previous findings that suggest a diet high in red meat could be a risk factor for cancer. high consumption of red and processed meats - but not fat or cholesterol -could raise the risk of pancreatic cancer, claim researchers at the cancer research center of hawaii. tracking 190,000 consumers over seven years through a multiethnic cohort study, the scientists say participants in the highest quintile of processed meat intake had a 68 per cent increased risk of pancreatic cancer compared with those in the lowest quintile.

large european study supports previous findings that suggests red and processed meat consumption increases the risk of colorectal cancer, fuelling immediate reaction from meat industry that claims the study fails to "prove cause and effect", reports lindsey partos. the eu wide research that spanned ten countries and tracked nearly half a million consumers concluded colorectal risk increases by 49 per cent per 100 grams of daily consumed red meat, to cover pork, beef, veal, and lamb.
