Will Red Meat Kill You Sooner…Or Later?

Posted: March 26th, 2009 | Author: Dr. Bill | No Comments »

After listening to the so called health news yesterday, I had to shake my head a bit. I was in my easy chair, contemplating the important work of completing my taxes when the “red meat” segment came on, no doubt firing up vegetarians, fruitarians, and others who have made this silly claim for years.

Now a doctor had put his name behind this study, and so it was big news, and was blaring from every channel, and I’m sure it was in all the newspapers (the ones that are left anyway).

One of the reasons that newspapers, and news organizations, are dying on the vine is really going unreported. They no longer print facts, they just rush any old thing into print, or on to television, and if it’s right fine, if not, well…that’s fine too. People just got tired of reading the opinions of people who didn’t really know what they were talking about. As they say around Obamaland, “Don’t let the facts get in the way of the theme.”

So this study comes out and says “don’t eat more than 18 ounces of red meat a week.” That’s 3 hamburgers in the backyard, or 4 at McDonald’s. Nobody listed any other factors, like exercise, or weight, or age, or where they live, or what the traditional diet is.

It’s hard to interpet all this information at times.

We’re not supposed to eat fish because of mercury.

We’re not supposed to eat chicken because they aren’t walking the barnyard yearning to breathe free.

Now beef and pork are going to kill us early.

What’s left? Only vegetables and fruits from expensive organic grocery stores. I’m sure that makes PETA happy, but it doesn’t cut the mustard with me. The President may like arugula, but I don’t, and neither do most of my friends.

Now, you shouldn’t eat red meat for every meal, although many folks I know think this is the ideal diet. The reality is most people don’t eat this way in the first place.

But I will say this: If you are eating processed food full of transfats and high fructose corn syrup, you are much worse off than if you eat red meat for every meal, every day of your life.

Your body is in much better shape to process the red meat than it is to process all the artificial ingredients in all the food products that are on the market.

Should you eat red meat, or packaged waffles?
(Red meat.)

Should you eat red meat, or Cap’n Crunch cereal?
(Red meat.)

Should you eat red meat, or Green Giant cauliflower
in special sauce? (Red meat.)

Red meat, or Coke? (Red meat.)

It’s funny to think that the Chinese have been eating meat for quite a while, and they don’t have all the heart disease we do.

That is until recently, when all kinds of artificial food products started being distributed there (think potato chips, cheetos, pizza, Coke). They are also experiencing an obesity problem for the first time, and it isn’t being caused by red meat.

Red meat is way, way, way down the list of what we should stop eating, if we should stop eating it at all.

Protein is after all, what makes us tick.

And if you want your ticker to function better, you can add my Powerhouse Omega Formula to your daily routine. Ultra pure pharmaceutical grade fish oil will deliver what the pizza delivery boys can’t, and that’s an improvement in your overall health.

That’s a fact, and results pour in daily from all over the world with regard to the benefits of taking fish oil on a regular basis.

You’ll be glad you did, and your occasional steak or burger will be that much better.
