Unhealthy characterized by red meat? When are are going to move away from the stigma that saturated fats cause health issues
“Red meat causes cancer” from self-reported diets of cheeseburgers and other processed foods.
This study lumps read meat with processed foods and alcohol consumption. Not much to go on for conclusions at that rate

- malfist 2y agoThat's not the case at all. Maybe you're thinking of unsaturated fats?
- firebot 2y agoBig sugar paid Harvard et al to point the CVD boner at fats instead of sugar, namely saturated. Wrong. Dr. Mary Enid correctly identified trans fats as the real problam. Funny that sugars will cause fat Genesis. A body can not accommodation make. We're suppose to hunger. Good things happen when we fast. Even the Bible gets gluttony right. This was back in a day in age when you might eat a single meal a day.
- malfist 2y agoYou're weighing the consensus of the medical community against a single doctor who claims that saturated fat can cure AIDS? That is not a well reasoned position to take.
- firebot 2y agoAIDS really has nothing to do with this discussion. Most scientists believe in imaginary deities. So what? Does that mean God exists? I doubt it. Moving on. Consensus isn't science. By consensus, then olive oil is "high in saturated fats." The major problem with saturated fats is there is no problem. There's no mechanism to explain it. It's just an association. Dr Enid correctly identified trans fats as unhealthy decades before the consensus caught up.
