A new Canadian study suggests eating meat could actually help protect the body from cancer, challenging years of health warnings. Red meat has long been valued as a source of protein and vitamins, but agencies such as the World Health Organization have labelled it “probably carcinogenic.”

 

Researchers at McMaster University analysed data from more than 16,000 adults and compared animal and plant protein intake with deaths from cancer, heart disease, and other causes. Their results point to animal protein offering protective benefits rather than harm.

 

Published in Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, the study found no link between typical protein consumption and a higher risk of death. The authors say meat can be part of a healthy diet when eaten in normal amounts.

However, the study has a large COI statement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the past 6+ years, meat has been the major component of my meals, with just a small percentage of green vegetables. My body feels better for it, and I can feel the difference in just a few days if I go back to eating root veggies and wheat products. Stop them, and three days later, my body once again feels lighter with less old-age joint pain

It really is amazing how the joint pain disappears.

It’s one of the first side benefit to notice when you cut out the sugars and starches. And it happens so quickly, too! A matter of 3-4 days. No more aspirin or Ibuprofen first thing in the morning so you can tie your shoes. 

Agree with all that.  Keto ish diet past few years, and noticeable differences, less to no inflammation.   Blood work even confirms much healthier.

 

Just another aspect of .... "We've been lied to"

I did post (somewhere) that the diet of the South American gaucho consisted almost entirely of meat, mostly beef, with some sheepmeat when available, and all parts of the beef animal were considered edible.

 

As for vegetables, well it appears they didn't eat many or any of them, and the outcome for their health/longevity was that they live on average to 76 years of age – – maybe the Atkins diet had it right after all?
