Speaking of war: this seems to be a shot across the bow.
This is good/bad because it actually admits some good things about red meat. But these are simply inaccurate:
Quote:
1. You may experience a decrease in inflammation.
Depending on how the red meat is produced, your body may be experiencing some inflammation due to the fat content. Typically red meat has a significant amount of saturated fat in it, and if you're consuming more than the allotted amount your body can have in a day, your body may experience inflammation.

MAY? How weasely is that? It's high Omega-6 seed oils which cause inflammation.
Quote:
4. Your cholesterol levels will go down.
If you have high cholesterol, you've likely heard your doctor tell you to cut red meat from your diet. It all comes back to saturated fat, which is a main culprit for producing LDL "bad" cholesterol in your body, which leads to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. According to the Mayo Clinic, saturated fat raises your LDL cholesterol levels in your bloodstream. Red meat and dairy products, as well as fried foods, baked goods, and other highly processed foods, tend to have high amounts of saturated fat in it—leading to high cholesterol.

The usual cholesterol nonsense.
Quote:
5. Your risk of chronic diseases will decrease.
If you cut red meat, due to the decreased saturated fat in your diet, you'll find yourself with a significantly decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. One recent study did show that eating unprocessed red meat can also increase your risk of cardiovascular disease as well as cancer.

Oh, really? If you click on the link of the study referenced in this paragraph, you get this slippery reporting:
Quote:
A new study that involved over 100,000 postmenopausal women found that women who ate the most processed red meat had a 20% higher risk of dying from dementia in comparison with women who ate the least amount of red meat.
The study, which was published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, even found that eating unprocessed red meat may also increase your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. The data is somewhat unsurprising, given that plenty of other studies have found that high levels of cholesterol are associated with a heightened risk of cardiovascular disease.

The unreliable FOOD diary study strikes again! And can you read those two paragraphs and make any sense of them? Processed meat comes with bread, FULL STOP.
It's all designed to confuse people, make them give up on trying to figure it out, and get the NOOM app. |
