Don't all 3 of those conflate red and processed meat? Not very sciency...
- amanaplanacanal 7y agoThat's one of my personal pet peeves.
- TrinaryWorksToo 7y agoAnd there's a big difference too! We know nitrites aren't good for us, and can make meat red. But not all meat contains nitrites.
- scotty79 7y agoIsn't the most red meat consumed also processed? Don't know. Just asking. If so it would make sense to use it in research.
- tomp 7y agoMaybe? Probably most food consumed is processed... but the advice should then be, eat unprocessed food (salad, steak, fruit not fruit juice, ...) In addition, some ways of processing food are likely less harmful... e.g. pickling vegetables and drying meat (without using nitrites, such as certain traditional EU PDO meats like Prosciutto di Parma).
- scotty79 7y ago> but the advice should then be, eat unprocessed food I think it was not so much to give advice as to answer the question. Is that one thing that we are eating bad for us?
