New studies show red meat is not harmful

Two new studies show red meat and saturated fat are not harmful and don't increase the risk of heart disease, cancer, or dying early. To some, this may be a surprise, but it shows how important it is to look at the quality of data and compare positive and negative studies. Here's what you need to know about these studies.

I can’t speak for everyone but red meat makes me happy. 😊

When kids eat meat, they go straight for the fat. Why? Because their body needs it.

[patrickvanmeter]

After all the years of study and research to find out what kills people, it turns out life is the culprit. Stop worrying about it. Be happy and sustain your life with food and a little exercise.

I've eaten carnivore for almost 3 years and I have no more autoimmune symptoms. Gone. Vanished. I will eat carnivore the rest of my life.

Is it possible that industrial processed fake food isn't good for me and meat is something humans have eaten for a million years and is safe ? 👍

I’m in the military in a physically demanding job where I work outside in the elements. The last few weeks I’ve been eating red meat and cutting back on added sugar. Not only am I getting less headaches I also scored a 96 on my PT test, and I don’t feel the midday crash!

Since I increased meat/liver in my diet I feel better, 70-80% of my calories come from animal products. I eat red meat, seafood, eggs, cheese, full fat dairy, butter some fruit and veg, very little bread.

57 years eating some animal products at every meal, healthy😊

Both my Grandads ate red meat and fresh vegetables as part of their daily diet; they lived till 95 and 96 respectively. They didn't drink or smoke and they didn't have highly processed foods; just fresh red meat and fresh vegetables . .

Chocolate is good for you..

Thanks again, I love how easily you break down the literature. It is just so frustrating that every other facet of science has to have well controlled, double blind placebo controlled studies while nutritional science has been allowed to do junk science for all these years and get away with it.

I like beef with lots of fat on it. I eat fatty pork also. I also eat butter. And, coconut oil. And, avocado's. I don't eat bread or potato's or pasta or rice.

You can tell red meat is good based on how you feel after you eat a grass fed steak. Your stomach will be satiated and you will have energy. Same thing goes for fish. When I eat fish or steak I feel amazing after especially if I eat a decent amount of it and don’t eat anything else with it. Chicken is also like this kind of but the effect just isn’t as strong for me idk why.

[MissSchnickfitzel]

Animal fats are the most important you could eat. The nutrients are completely broken down by the body. Unlike the nutrients in vegetables, of which we cant digest and break down most.

OMGOODNESS this sounds like the artical I read this morning on how keto is unastainable and how deprived you are in this diet.
We started slow in removing the carbs and found it so easy to stay with keto. My husband's BP and blood tests have returned to normal and our doctor is extremely happy and supports our diet change.

This information will probably make you lose all your vegan Lucky you!!!

[videnz]

just look at hong kong they eat 664g of meat PER DAY and have the by far the highest life expectancy.... sure maybe that doesnt proof that meat is healthy but for me it just proofs that its not really harmful to your health

[cjcj]

My body has ALWAYS known this! I always go by how I FEEL... not by anyone else's hypotheses of how I MAY feel if I eat something!👍🤠
