Red meat is blamed for one in 10 early deaths (PANIC !!!!)

Small quantities of processed meat such as bacon, sausages or salami can increase the likelihood of dying by a fifth, researchers from Harvard School of Medicine found. Eating steak increases the risk of dying by 12%.

The study found that cutting the amount of red meat in peoples’ diets to 1.5 ounces (42 grams) a day, equivalent to one large steak a week, could prevent almost one in 10 early deaths in men and one in 13 in women.

The scientists said that the government’s current advice that people should eat no more than 2.5 ounces (70 grams) a day, around around the level the average Briton already consumes, was “generous”.

George Carlin once said:
“Scientist have determined that saliva can be fatal- when swallowed in small quantities over a long period of time”

It’s not “prevent”. It’s “postpone”.

This was picked up by and passed along by the PSN Pseudo Science Network div of AP and made it to every radio set in the US. As usual no one thought to question it.

Even Rush mentioned it but his table was too full of more important stuff.

So I guess that raises your chances of dying to 112% since before this study your chances of dying were only 100%

It is the potatoes. I’m proof of their ability to do harm.

Quit eating potatoes and bread and the diabetic condition normalizes

How do we know it is the meats and not the potatoes who are killing us?

^this

Rush covered a study last Thursday done by cardiologists that debunks decades of "common thought" concerning the consumption of meat and the correlation to cholesterol levels. Turns out that the Omega 6 fatty acids that we consume in this boxed and bagged low fat/no fat garbage that we've been peddled since the 80s is actually causing inflammation in our blood vessels which, in turn, causes cholesterol to build up in strange places.

My weight's fluctuated my entire life from an all-time high of nearly 400 lb. in college to an adult low of 230 lb., but throughout the entire span of my life, my cholesterol has been extraordinarily low. I eat a LOT of meat and very few carbohydrates. Bacon, eggs, chicken with the skin, full fat salad dressings, etc. These are all foods that would've been available to hunter/gatherer ancestors and are not processed in any real way outside of butchering.

So why avoid meat? We hear all the time of seemingly healthy men and women dropping dead of a clot or heart disease while 250 lb. men dodder along into their 60s and 70s with little more than some knee and lower back pains. I'm not saying that eating red meat daily is a good thing, everything in moderation, after all, but if the consumption of plant esters or boxes of rice cakes means I'm going to be thin for the rest of my life, I'd rather be a cigar-smoking red meat eater until I'm 70.

1 Timothy 4

1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

I’ll be grilling a ribeye for dinner tonite.

Yum!The article confused two terms - processed meat and red meat. There is nothing wrong with red meat. It is the processing that causes the problems.

I try to avoid all foods that come with a list of ingredients.

“Small quantities of processed meat such as bacon, sausages or salami can increase the likelihood of dying by a fifth, researchers from Harvard School of Medicine found. Eating steak increases the risk of dying by 12%.”

I find this absolutely hysterical! Isn’t the risk of dying still at 100%??? An this is from Harvard? It doesn’t even take a critical thinker to figue this one out.

A vegetarian society is much easier to control by a tyrant.

My family usually raises two to three head for slaughter in the fall. We’ve been watching beef prices recently and what cost $1.40 a pound last year will cost $1.90 at auction in our area today.

Has anyone heard O’bama say “beef prices will necessarily rise .....”? Ouch!

Unfortunately, with the current price of beef, I’m probably already meeting the targets.
