The Claim
Modeling projections suggest that a 30% reduction in unprocessed red meat consumption in the US adult population is associated with an estimated 732,600 fewer cases of type 2 diabetes, 291,500 fewer cardiovascular disease events, 32,200 fewer colorectal cancer cases, and 46,100 fewer deaths over a 10-year period.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
If adults in the U.S. ate 30% less red meat like beef or pork, computer models predict we could avoid hundreds of thousands of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer cases—and save tens of thousands of lives—over 10 years.

What the research says
1 studyThe study looked at what would happen if people ate 30% less unprocessed red meat, and it found exactly the health benefits claimed—fewer cases of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and deaths over 10 years.
