Uproar after research claims red meat poses no health risk
The Guardian ^ | October 1st, 2019 | Unattributed

Posted on 10/01/2019 9:53:42 AM PDT by Mariner

New research that claims red and processed meat is probably not harmful to our health has caused controversy among experts who maintain people should cut down.

The World Health Organization has classified red and processed meats as cancer-causing. Public health bodies worldwide urge people to limit their intake of red and processed meat to reduce their cancer risk. The NHS advises that people who eat 90g of meat a day – equivalent to three thin slices of roast meat – should cut down to 70g.

Aside from public health, calls are multiplying for people to cut back on meat consumption because of the climate emergency and the greenhouse gas emissions that come from animal farming.

But the 14-member international team led by Bradley Johnston an associate professor of community health at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, concluded that those who like meat should not stop on health grounds. “Based on the research, we cannot say with any certainty that eating red or processed meat causes cancer, diabetes or heart disease,” he said.

Many scientists agreed with the team that the evidence from studies around the world was generally poor. Some said that left them open to both interpretations – either that meat could cause health harm or that it did not.

Others said Johnston and colleagues were wrong to exclude environmental concerns about damage to the planet from clearing forests and animal farming from their work.

I found this to be true plus adding more fat to my diet helps to satiate those hunger pangs until it's truly time for the next meal.

That’s why doing Intermittent Fasting on Keto is a snap. I at least fast 16 hours a day, and I do “One Meal A Day” several times a week.

These types of studies usually hinge on who financed them. Just like it is easy for pollsters to use bad samples, bad questions, it is not very difficult for researchers to create a study to get a desired result.

It’s not just for people who are fat,

Fasting helps to induce Autophagy, which can slow down the aging process.

Autophagy reportedly kicks in after about 20 hours fasting.

Liberals want to take away your hamburgers and steaks.

No wonder they’re in an uproar over this report. Full disclosure: I’m a red meat fan.

I always knew the claim red meat was a health risk wax politically correct bunk.

This uproar proved it in spades.
