Eating just two slices of ham a day may increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes within the next decade by 15%, a large study has found.

Data from nearly two million people – analysed by a team led by the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom – also found that consuming 100 grammes of unprocessed red meat a day – equivalent to a small steak – was associated with a 10% higher risk of developing the condition.
