Duke University, located in Durham, North Carolina, and the University of Florida, located in Gainesville, Florida, are leading public and private research universities collaborating on the Beef and Metabolic Health Program.
Dr. Eric Westman of Duke University and Dr. Angelica Ahrens of the University of Florida will lead research evaluating how a beef-forward, carbohydrate-restricted diet may improve metabolic health in adults with advanced type 2 diabetes. The study will also examine clinical outcomes, medication use and how research findings influence healthcare provider decisions, consumer confidence, dietary choices and beef purchasing behavior.
