It’s not red meat causing the inflammation.
It’s sugar.
- boringg 4y agoSugar also a culprit - its not a red meat vs sugar thing. However one of the top researchers in cholesterol in the US told me specifically to eat red meat once a year as it has inflammation qualities that are risky for people who have higher risk factors for a cardiac event.
- OJFord 4y ago> told me specifically to eat red meat once a year as it has inflammation qualities that are risky Struggling with that - as in at most once a year?
- boringg 4y agoYes but that was for people with a high risk cholesterol level - not general public. However translate that to general parameters as you see fit.
- OJFord 4y agoSure, I understand. I was just parsing it as 'you should eat once a year' (not zero times) - which then didn't seem to tally up with the mentioned risk. I'd think a small amount every other month or so might be safer - you don't want to look forward to that annual treat and go too crazy!
- boringg 4y agoI see what you are saying. I think the advice was enjoy that one steak dinner a year on a special occasion. Yeah you could also break it up into smaller amounts over the year. I'm largely indifferent to beef but it was a surprising bit of advice from a respected source.
