Red Meat does not Cause Heart Disease- new study

My only issue with this is that if you look at previous examples, like eggs, new studies keep going back and forth.

I'm grilling a steak tonight in honor of this study.

not really in the well designed studies and certainly not in meta analysis. what you saw in the 80s was not studies and more just single people saying that and the government saying it with no causation studies to back it up.

all you have to do is go look at the studies from the 36 eggs a day for burn victims

Eight severely burned young patients were maintained on an oral hyperalimentation regimen of about 7,000 calories--including 314 proteins, 600 g carbohydrates and 336 g fats, containing greater than 8 g cholesterol--based mainly on a daily ingestion of 35 eggs. Serum cholesterol and protein, and plasma lipoprotein levels were measured during period of 30 days on the diet. The mean serum cholesterol level prior to the egg-rich diet was low [108 +/- 42 (SD) mg/dl] and it remained within the normal range during the study.

Imagine if you got severely burned and they strapped you to a bed and force fed you 36 eggs per day

of course i would prolly be better off doing 36 eggs a day for like 3 months.

Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health issued a statement that the new advice could potentially harm people's health. "This new red meat and processed meat recommendation was based on flawed methodology and a misinterpretation of nutritional evidence," says Dr. Frank Hu, chair of the Department of Nutrition. "The authors used a method often applied to randomized clinical trials for drugs and devices, which is typically not feasible in nutritional studies."

In spite of what the Annals of Internal Medicine study suggests, Dr. Hu says that an accumulated body of evidence shows a clear link between high intake of red and processed meats and a higher risk for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and premature death. "The evidence is consistent across different studies," he says.

Nice im making wagyu burgers tonight.

But i was never going to stop eating red meat anyway. They basically lied to us about our diets and told us to get rid of animal fat and stuff our faces with processed carbs.

Now we still have heart disease as the number one problem and an epidemic of diabetes.

It's crazy that this is big news.

Presently, the big push is:

animals, bad

highly processed, mono-crop based crap, good



Related, why don't you start a thread on those new recommendations out of Tufts that are likely to inform the next bit of government involvement in killing Americans through diet?

My impression of every study that concluded red meat is bad was that most studies on the people who ate copious amounts of red meat did NOT control for the other factors of those groups of people. In other words they didn't control for physical activity or things like, if they ate vegetables with red meat, or if they were more prone to unhealthy life choices like smoking and drinking.
