Thread: Red meat raises heart attack risk

red meat...I love red meat. I think its the fat content causing the problem, not the actual protein..and bacon--yeah that one's obvious. its full of yummy fat and nitrates.

I'm not a women but I'd like to see the actual data on the control groups. Did they eat red meat every day? Was any exercise done daily? Were any supplements involved?? I'm sure the fat content in the meat can attribute to higher risk due to raised cholesterol/fatty tissue/arterial plaque build-up if there's no exercise involved. Otherwise I don't buy the hype. I ate fish, salads, low fat milk and biked 9-18 miles a day for years then bam.. the big heart attack with multiple bypass options. Now I eat bacon, a t-bone/ribeye, and a burger once a week (along with my fish/salads/grilled chicken) and my cholesterol is 101 but I also work out 4 days a week for 1.5 hrs a pop. If think if you're going to eat meat you need to exercise to balance it.
