Meat, dairy may be as detrimental to your health as smoking cigarettes, study says
Eating a diet heavy on meat and cheese may be as harmful to you as smoking a cigarette, researchers claim.
A new study, published in Cell Metabolism on March 4, shows that middle-aged people who eat a diet high in animal proteins from milk, meat and cheese are more likely to die of cancer than someone who eats a low-protein diet. The research also showed the people who ate lots of meat and dairy were more likely to die at an earlier age.
I call it fat fear, fat paranoia, or fat-fear mongering.
It's my understanding from my personal nutrition coach to build every meal on a good protein... that's about 25% of the meal, and it can include free range meat or grass fed cow or bison or wild caught cold water fish (that meat should only be about 3 to 3.5 oz) or quinoa or cage free eggs, etc. Then about 50% leafy greens and other low starch veggies, then about 12.5% quality fat, then about 12.5% other carbs, then about 12.5% fruit.
Eat this three meals per day and your blood sugar should stay in the green all day long... imo of course.
Eating a diet heavy on meat and cheese can be harmful to your health. This isn't news AT ALL. It also doesn't require any kind of sensationalist journalism or fancy sound-bites to learn.
Eating a diet heavy on Coca Cola can be harmful to your health too. As can eating a diet heavy on overprocessed artificially-flavored deep-fried tofu. As can eating a diet heavy on salt. As can eating a diet heavy on alcohol, or a diet heavy on .. hopefully you get the idea.
There's nothing wrong with eating *some* meat and *some* cheese, barring allergies. There is also nothing wrong with having an occasional Coke, or a pinch of salt in your salad, or a Friday night cocktail.
Yes, too much animal is the 'fear'
Lean meat is ok, as far as I can see....I mean no crapola, grass fed, of course.
But, also animal fat, then our high processed carb diet...together is the problem....
from what I have read and seen on the PBS specials.
I will add I feel great after, I dunno, 7 months of no bread and pasta, white flour, etc.
I'm not getting what is wrong with saying...eat a diet of apples for a wk....syntax...would love to know.
