Avoiding processed foods, both animal and plant, is a good idea.

But the links between diabetes and animal products are pretty well established:

How was the link determined? I'd like to see the number of studies that studied people with low carb diets. Carbs is in pretty much everything nowadays, and it's really difficult to find people that consumes <5% that are not doing some low carb diet on purpose.

Or people that eat only once a day.
