This study emphasizes the importance of making careful food choices for overall well-being. Food items such as nuts, beans, and milk can contribute to diminishing the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. However, it is important to note that the study does not attribute all the risk to red meat alone. Factors like eating habits and lifestyle also play a role.
