Health officials say eating red and processed meats may increase your risk of Type 2 diabetes.
A study from the Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology Journal analyzed data from 2 million people across 20 counties.
Researchers say it is the most comprehensive analysis to show a link between the two.
The condition could lead to strokes, heart and kidney disease if not managed properly.
