Consuming red meat in amounts above what is typically recommended does not affect short-term cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as blood pressure and blood cholesterol, according to a new review of clinical trials from Purdue University.
"During the last 20 years, there have been recommendations to eat less red meat as part of a healthier diet, but our research supports that red meat can be incorporated into a healthier diet," said Wayne Campbell, professor of nutrition science. "Red meat is a nutrient-rich food, not only as a source for protein but also bioavailable iron."
The recommendations to limit red meat from the diet come mainly from studies that relate peoples' eating habits to whether they have cardiovascular disease. While these studies suggest that red meat consumption is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, they are not designed to show that red meat is causing cardiovascular disease. So Campbell, doctoral student Lauren O'Connor, and postdoctoral researcher Jung Eun Kim, conducted a review and analysis of past clinical trials, which are able to detect cause and effect between eating habits and health risks. They screened hundreds of related research articles, focusing on studies that met specific criteria including the amount of red meat consumed, evaluation of cardiovascular disease risk factors and study design. An analysis of the 24 studies that met the criteria is published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

What do your body need to survive ?
- Water............. Basic material for most functions
- Protein........... Basic material for complex functions
- Fat................. Energy
- Vitamins.........Basic material for elementary functions
- Minerals..........Basic material for elementary functions
- Fibre...............Transport of the other elements
These are the vital elements
None of them can be omitted without dying in a short time.
OK. You can survive without fibre for a while but that is Months not years.
What is not vital ?
- Sugar.............(Suctose / Fructose) Energy
- Carbohydrate..Energy
What does a hamburger contain?
- Water
- Protein
- Fat...................Energy
- Sugar...............Energy
- Carbohydrate...Energy
- Vitamins
- Minerals
- Fibre
I think you see what the problem is ?
Three times energy.
That is the problem.
What is the (mainstream) recommendation for a healthy diet?
Many vitamins, carbohydrates, minerals, fiber, protein.
Little fat and sugar.
Does not really work.
Problem:
Fat is vital.
Carbohydrates can not replace fat.
But carbohydrates are not vital.
And I give a shit what the mainstream recommendation is.
It is driven and influenced by the Argo-Industrie NOT science.
You spend probably less than 2% of the time that I spend to study and research that topic but now it better ?
I'm not interested in your uneducated opinion.
