People who routinely eat a lot of red meat may be increasing their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes (糖尿病), according to a new study. Processed red meats, like bacon and hot dogs, are linked to an even higher risk.
Researchers tracked the eating habits of more than 200,000 people engaged in long-term health studies for up to 36 years and found that those who regularly consumed a lot of red meat—more than a serving per day—had a significantly higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
“When we looked at the women and men who consumed the most red meat compared to the least, we found about a 50% increase in risk,” says study author Dr Walter Willett of the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. The results were published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
It turned out that the participants in the study who consumed high amounts of red meat also had higher body weight. They consumed more calories and were less physically active compared with those who consumed the least red meat.
Given that, in the US, only about 4% of people are identified as vegetarians and only 1% vegans, it’s not realistic to think that people will give up red meat altogether. So how much red meat is OK to consume US dietary guidelines don’t clearly state an amount, but a recent review of observational studies suggests it’s reasonable to limit daily consumption of unprocessed red meat to 50 to 100 grams to prevent high blood pressure and heart diseases. Willett’s recommendation goes even further. “A limit of one serving per week of red meat would be reasonable for people wishing to improve health and well-being,” Willett says.
Given the large body of evidence that links too much red meat consumption to increased risks of heart disease and cancer, Christopher Gardner, a food scientist at Stanford University, points out that recommendations to limit the consumption of red meat, particularly processed red meat, have been made by many national and global health organizations.
( )1.How did the researchers draw their conclusion
A.By asking questions.
B.By referring to former studies.
C.By making comparisons.
D.By carrying out experiments.
( )2.Which word may best describe someone who eats lots of red meat according to the study

( )3.Which of the following is Willett’s advice
A.Eating red meat only once a week.
B.Replacing red meat with vegetables.
