We really need to read carefully some
of the studies about red meat that are being reported lately.
Observational studies prove little, but these studies are getting
press. Recently one of the studies was done by a doctor associated
with the Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA, it is looks
like 22 years of observational looking fits the agenda of the lead
investigator.
Now I am not saying that this is not
possible, and with all of the growth hormones and antibiotics fed to
cattle, it may be that they are right. I do know that less
meat is being certified as heart healthy, and the majority of this is
grass fed beef.
This is getting a lot of attention in
the news media and even in some of the medical journals. It is also
being hyped in the medical press. There are even some bloggers
hyping the study as being the last nail in the red meat coffin. I do not believe them.
At least Tom Naughton has shown the
truth about the study and I urge you to read his blog here. Another
blog worth reading is this one at Mark's Daily Apple. It is written
by a guest blogger and worth the time to read.
For those wanting to read Gary Taubes,
I urge you to read his blog about the red meat studies which he calls
by other terms.
Since I am behind the times on this
topic, reading what others more versed on this is only proper and I
hope I have given you something worth your time. Two other articles about the same study are here and here.
