Of course, eating read or cured meat is not dangerous! One more time, Jeanne Calment who died at 122 was eating read meat! And my grandmother who died at 99 was eating both of them: red meat AND cured meat, all her life! Please do not write any comment like \u201cif they didn\u2019t they would have live longer\u201d: I have many fanatic vegetarian friends who died of cancer before the age of 70\u2026 Maybe with some meat, they would have live longer\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

Well, here we go again. Each year, like clockwork, the conventional medical establishment mounts an attack against red meat.<\/p>\n

For decades, we were told not to eat it because of the cholesterol and saturated fat it contains. When that argument\u00a0became less convincing, a new one was offered: we shouldn\u2019t eat red meat because it increases production of a\u00a0compound called TMAO, which causes heart attacks.<\/p>\n

Now we\u2019re being told not to eat red meat\u2014and especially cured and processed meat\u2014because it will give us cancer. In a\u00a0recent report, the World Health Organization (WHO) ranked bacon, sausage, and other cured and processed meats as \u201cgroup 1 carcinogens,\u201d which puts them in the same category as tobacco, asbestos, alcohol, and arsenic. It also placed fresh red meat in the \u201cgroup 2A\u201d category, which suggests that it is \u201cprobably carcinogenic\u201d to humans.<\/p>\n

Of course, this isn\u2019t a new argument; it\u2019s been around for at least 40 years. As far back as 1975, scientists speculated that the consumption of animal products was linked to cancer. (1)<\/p>\n

How Strong Is the Evidence Linking Red Meat to Cancer?
\nHowever, the evidence supporting this claim has never been as strong as its proponents suggest. I have critically reviewed this evidence on several occasions in the past, as have many of my colleagues. Here\u2019s a list of a few articles and podcasts I recommend reading and\/or listening to if you\u2019d like to go deep on this topic:<\/p>\n

Revolution Health Radio: Does Red Meat Increase Your Risk of Death?<\/p>\n

Do High Protein Diets Increase the Risk of Kidney Disease and Cancer?<\/p>\n

Where\u2019s the Beef?<\/p>\n

Will Eating Red Meat Kill You?<\/p>\n

Will Eating Meat Make Us Die Younger?<\/p>\n

I realize that many of you don\u2019t have the time to sift through all of that material, so I\u2019ll do my best to summarize the salient points here.<\/p>\n
