Well we know all too well that fishies are good for us but seems there's no let up in the potential harm a nice steak can do you... grr! 8)

Harvard School of Public Health in the largest study of its kind to date and appears in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition says that eating 50 grams of processed red meat every day increased a person's diabetes risk by 51 per cent, while eating 100 grams of unprocessed red meat each day, about the size of a deck of cards, boosted the risk by 19 per cent.
[as if we could afford it anyway]
"Those risks went down if the red meat was substituted with nuts, white meat, low-fat dairy or whole grain proteins".
Yuck... unless you are a vegetable aryan 8)

Thats handy then as I eat mainly chicken and only use semi skimmed milk in my tea so the chances of me getting diabetes are going to be very slight :lol:
