"Yes, we Americans overeat beef / Hamburgers, but I don't think anyone eating burgers is at huge risk of malnutrition... as much as a risk of heart problems, diabetes, cholesterol, etc. etc."
Pretty strongly disagree here. US Beef consumption is about the same as in early 1900's, which was a time where personal health in several metrics was far better. (Weight being the obvious one)
Always very skeptical when people talk about cholesterol, it's a really nuanced
topic, but the average person seems to be stuck in the 1970's with "cholesterol bad". Thinking high ldl is always bad is only slightly better.
- JamesianP 4y agoIt can be frustrating how studies always lump in processed meat with unprocessed meat. Unprocessed meat is nearly google-proof, since every media outlet is busy broadcasting the evils of "red and processed meat" like they're inseparable. Seems like the cholesterol argument regarding meat itself is basically the main one left.
