A Low-Ultra-Processed, Plant-Forward Diet With Lean Red Meat Enhances Metabolic Health in Older Adults at Risk for Insulin Resistance – A Feeding Intervention
Objectives: Higher red meat intake has been associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, yet most studies do not differentiate between processed and minimally processed red meats. We hypothesized that a healthy, plant-forward, low ultra-processed diet with minimally processed lean pork (MPLP) can improve nutrient adequacy and metabolic functions in older adults.
