Is Meat Good or Bad for you?

“Dr. Hyman, I see so many conflicting reports about meat,” begins this week’s house call question. “Some say it can be part of a healthy diet. Others declare it is the root cause of disease - including heart disease, cancer and diabetes. I have friends who completely avoid it and other friends of mine who embrace meat as an everyday staple. What’s the truth about meat?”

I understand your confusion, especially with the conflicting, sometimes misleading information out there. Whether meat is good or bad depends on with whom you are talking. Paleo enthusiasts say meat is essential to longevity. Vegans will tell you to avoid it at all costs. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently stated processed meat and bacon are carcinogenic and red meat is most likely, as well.

You always have such a sensible approach to nutrition and make it so easy to understand.

Do you know something, for ages I've been swinging back and forth between vegan and meat eating, but it's just so confusing. This video is probably the best thing I've ever watched in terms of diet. This guy speaks sense and it's a great approach to take and get the best of both worlds. Liked and subbed 😊👍

When natives started eating the western diet, they started having a drastic increase in Diabetes, obesity, heart disease, etc. Many are now trying to go back to eating a more traditional diet to regain their health.

Thank you so much for this. What kind of a diet should one follow if one is suffering from pcos and has high androgen levels?

What about raw meat?
Given you have excellent quality meat... Seems it may be healthier yet? Or are there anything contradiciting thst it might just be?
Thank you

This is a good example of why and how to not just look at claims people make about research, but to take into account each variable and use that info to inquire further and make your own personal decisions.

Hello dr hyman, the big difference between the health of a vegetarian and someone who eats meat is his mental part or shen, the ideal is to have a balance of animal and vegetable food, greetings from colombia.

Clarence Bass, who's written 14 books on leanness, health, bodybuilding, and diet, is now saying exactly what Dr. Hyman suggests. Bass has been running the Ripped system for leanness since the late 70's.

Dear Mark Hyman, could you please also explain if gluten is good or bad to gut? Thanks

[bambiforester]

THANK YOU 🙏🏻 SO MUCH DR. HYMAN!!! This is a great video because you presented a lot of information with a wide range of opposing views without bias. I’m so happy you did this video because it is such a confusing subject. Thankfully your thorough reporting has given me the answers I have been looking for, so now I can make an informed decision. Great job! 😊

Fast food is bad for you. But it is the 4 oz. of meat? Of course not. It's the bun, the ketchup, the other crap they put on it, the fries (with more ketchup) and the Coke.

Dr. Hyman, my 30 yo son with Aspergers had a brain MRI, showing a cavernous hemangioma on the base of his brain stem. He eats a lot of meat half of it feedlot, juices sometimes otherwise little vegies, no grains, beans, dairy, little sugar. Why do you think he has this hemangioma, and is there anything that can be done for it? He has had anxiety for over a year. Thanks if you can answer me - so far nobody has, not including the Neurologist who said just to have it rechecked every 2 yrs to see if there's bleeding. They can't operate on that area anyway. Can this cause strokes or ??

I LOVE meat, fruit, nuts, seeds, and vegetable equally and eat all of them. I don't eat a lot of carbs, smoke, drink, or do any drugs. I work out regularly and have doctors tell me I'm incredibly healthy despite having an irregular heartbeart. Unprocessed meats are good for you IN MODERATION like all other foods!!! If you want to be be vegan or vegetarian I don't care. I sincerely hope you enjoy it but I'll continue eating my unprocessed meats thanks.
