Meat Kills

We have been saying this from the beginning. Now there are articles from the medical establishment to cite what they have known for years and what they have kept from the public. Meat Kills. Those who eat meat have a higher risk of cancer and other major diseases including heart disease, diabetes and hypertension. Look at what they are saying:

CHICAGO — The largest study of its kind finds that older Americans who eat large amounts of red meat and processed meats face a greater risk of death from heart disease and cancer. The federal study of more than half a million men and women bolsters prior evidence of the health risks of diets laden with red meat like hamburger and processed meats like hot dogs, bacon and cold cuts.

The findings appear in Monday’s Archives of Internal Medicine.

Over 10 years, eating the equivalent of a quarter-pound hamburger daily gave men in the study a 22 percent higher risk of dying of cancer and a 27 percent higher risk of dying of heart disease. That’s compared to those who ate the least red meat, just 5 ounces per week.

The findings appear in Monday’s Archives of Internal Medicine.

That’s not all. When you read the entire article it goes on to say:

In an accompanying editorial, Barry Popkin, director of the Interdisciplinary Obesity Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, wrote that reducing meat intake would have benefits beyond improved health.

Livestock increase greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to global warming, he wrote, and nations should reevaluate farm subsidies that distort prices and encourage meat-based diets.

“We’ve promoted a diet that has added excessively to global warming,” Popkin said in an interview.

Successfully shifting away from red meat can be as easy as increasing fruits and vegetables in the diet, said Elisabetta Politi of the Duke Diet and Fitness Center in Durham, N.C.

When we see this and know what the effect of meat has on us and our longevity my first question is, “what is the FDA doing”? Since the meat industry is not interested in us, what about the FDA? Will the FDA protect Americans?

After all this do you still want to eat meat, lean or otherwise? Whether for health reasons or for the animals or our environment make a choice. Choose life.
