Aliquot #60: Can we negate risks associated with eating red meat?
Meat – especially red meat – is perhaps one of the most polarizing topics in the nutrition world today. Some camps tout the benefits of eating an all-meat diet – the "carnivore diet." Others avoid meat altogether, pointing to its links to cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other health problems. But what does the science say? In this Aliquot, Dr. Jed Fahey and I discuss the pros and cons of eating meat as well as the confounding factors that may influence the risks associated with meat consumption.
