"Red Meat Reality: Weighing Health Benefits Against Risks"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Telegraph
Recent research suggests that not all meat is detrimental to health, with distinctions between processed and unprocessed meats being crucial. Processed meats are linked to increased risks of cancer and heart disease, while unprocessed red meat, poultry, and certain cuts of meat can provide essential nutrients like iron, zinc, B vitamins, and protein. Quality matters, as grass-fed and organic meats may offer more health benefits and less risk. The key to a healthy diet may not be to eliminate meat entirely but to consume a balanced and diverse diet that includes high-quality meats in moderation.
