Inflammation is a risk factor for many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), and the impact of diet on inflammation is an area of growing scientific interest. In particular, recommendations to limit red meat consumption are often based, in part, on old studies suggesting that red meat negatively affects inflammation—yet more recent studies have not supported this.
"The role of diet, including red meat, on inflammation and disease risk has not been adequately studied, which can lead to public health recommendations that are not based on strong evidence," said Dr. Alexis Wood. "Our team sought to take a closer look by using metabolite data in the blood, which can provide a more direct link between diet and health."
Wood and her team analyzed cross-sectional data captured from approximately 4,000 older adults participating in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), and recently published their findings.
Researchers found that when adjusted for body mass index (BMI), intake of unprocessed and processed red meat (beef, pork or lamb) was not directly associated with any markers of inflammation, suggesting that body weight, not red meat, may be the driver of increased systemic inflammation. Of particular interest was the lack of a link between red meat intake and C-reactive protein (CRP), the major inflammatory risk marker of chronic disease.
"Our analysis adds to the growing body of evidence that indicates the importance of measuring plasma markers, such as metabolites, to track diet and disease risk associations, versus relying on self-reported dietary intake alone," Wood said. "Our analysis does not support previous observational research associations linking red meat intake and inflammation."
Wood said: "Red meat is popular, accessible and palatable—and its place in our diet has deep cultural roots. Given this, recommendations about reducing consumption should be supported by strong scientific evidence, which doesn't yet exist."

“ To reduce C-reactive protein… eat lots of raw garlic”
It also tastes great on a juicy steak and keeps the vampires away
Carbs are the real culprit in inflammation.

Borderline leaning toward type 2. yeah—type in Parish Rice online and one can find the grower and buy direct. A 2 lb bag fro amazon is $14. I did that to see if I liked the rice. I did and went ahead and purchased the 25 lb bag.
panang curry comes in a small “tuna” sized can at your asian market. I use Maesri brand. On Amazon its expensive. I pay around $1.60 a can Coconut Milk. Use the one that has the least amount of ingredients.
Holy Basil is different from Thai Basil and regular Basil. Closer to Italian Basil if you can’t find Holy Basil. But in the end any basil could work. Or leave it out...its not the end of the world. Coriander is easy to find.. I used that in this batch.
Holy Basil is good to use when making pad kra po—so is using the ground turkey.
If the gentleman has tyep 2 chances are he may also have non alcoholic fatty liver with its associated problems. Ground Turkey works well then as a protein and limiting red meat intake. I don’t advocate ditching red meat, but if one needs meat most days, then the turkey will be a good addition.
I have been experimenting making Kidney Bean Curries (Indian) Made some last night using pinto beans. Essentially a kind of chile. I used thai chilies and Khasmir Chile Powder.
Why do I limit Red Meat? Its simple—gout. So I watch all meat intake—but that’s me—after years of eating pork and beef...in the end it was Salami that killed me...
Thanks again for the info, I appreciate it.
Eating just meat will get rid of gout, I used to have it. Now carnivore and gout free.
Nice Try, it’s the opposite!
Similar to Dr jordan peterson. And his daughter eats nothing but meat.
