Just in time to spoil your summer cookouts: Processed red meats such as hotdogs and cold cuts, the same things that make you fat and give you heart disease, may also increase your risk of diabetes.And while that might not sound too surprising, the degree to which processed meats are associated with diabetes is shockingly high, according to researchers at Harvard School of Public Health. Just a daily serving of 50 grams — that’s about two slices of cold cuts or one hot dog — is associated with more than a 50-percent increase in the risk of developing diabetes.
