No need to cut down red and processed meat, study says

Contrary to previous advice, five new systematic reviews suggest that most people can continue to eat red and processed meat as they do now. The major studies have found cutting back has little impact on health.

A panel of international scientists systematically reviewed the evidence and have recommended that most adults should continue to eat their current levels of red and processed meat.

The researchers performed four systematic reviews focused on randomized controlled trials and observational studies looking at the impact of red meat and processed meat consumption on cardiometabolic and cancer outcomes.

In one review of 12 trials with 54,000 people, the researchers did not find statistically significant or an important association between meat consumption and the risk of heart disease, diabetes or cancer.

In three systematic reviews of cohort studies following millions of people, a very small reduction in risk among those who had three fewer servings of red or processed meat a week, but the association was uncertain.

I don't know.  It's like everything else.  Moderation.  Don't cut it down to nothing, but don't go overboard either.

Thanks to gout, I can no longer eat red meat and I miss it.  Meat is good for you.  Loaded with protein and iron, among other nutrients. And it tastes good.  What's not to like?

I have been a huge meat eater all my life. Then cholesteral and high blood pressure entered. So I have behaved and limited meat, cheese, eggs, salt, sweets.  Heck anything I love.  But now when I see a huge portion of meat on my plate it's a turn-off.

So thanks, Doctors, or whoever decided this. Will I ever believe you again? Nope...you have a bad track record, imho.
