That is very unlikely, show me some real science (not the one flawed study from a few years ago). Type II diabetes is severe insulin resistance. A food like eggs don't have sugar, your body doesn't produce insulin when you eat them, therefore its not possible through any known mechanism for them to contribute to type II diabetes. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/eating-eggs-and-high-fat-dairy-products-reduces-diabetes-risk-10155460.html http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/... http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/577051/Birmingham-University-Diabetes-four-eggs-week-risk-Type-2 http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/577051/Birmingham-Universit...

  A food doesn't need sugar to produce insulin. A steak produces as much insulin as pure sugar.

    >A food doesn't need sugar to produce insulin. This is true. But non carbs have a much lower insulin response. >A steak produces as much insulin as pure sugar. Are you saying grams of protein to grams of sugar? A steak has a smaller insulin response than a piece of bread, not only that, the shape of the spike is drastically different.

If eggs do anything they decrease risk of diabetes. They may, or may not, be bad if you already have type 2.
