Location Online via Zoom

Friday 27 November at 13:00, Daniel Borch Ibsen defends his PhD dissertation entitled "Replacing red meat with other food sources of protein on risk of type 2 diabetes".

Many dietary guidelines across the world recommend lowering the consumption of red meat, but if people eat less red meat they will likely eat more of other protein rich foods. Yet, little research evidence has been published on the link between replacing red meat consumption with other specific foods on type 2 diabetes risk. It is important to understand that the health effect of any given food is not only determined by the food itself, but also what replaces it or it replaces in the diet. The PhD project investigated the association between replacing red meat with other food sources of protein on the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in European populations. 

The summary is written by the PhD student.    

The defence is public and takes place online via Zoom. Please read the attached press release for more information.
