Beef Associated With Heart Disease
Just something to think about!!

According to researchers at Harvard, high red meat intake increases risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), noting CHD risk may be reduced importantly by shifting sources of protein in the U.S. diet. The researchers followed 84,136 women aged 30 to 55 years in the Nurses’ Health Study with no known cancer, diabetes mellitus, angina, myocardial infarction, stroke or other cardiovascular disease (CVD). Diet was assessed by a standardized and validated questionnaire and updated every four years. During 26 years of follow-up, 2,210 incident nonfatal infarctions and 952 deaths from CHD were documented.
In the analyses, higher intakes of red meat, red meat excluding processed meat, and high-fat dairy were significantly associated with elevated risk of CHD. Higher intakes of poultry, fish and nuts were significantly associated with lower risk. In a model controlling statistically for energy intake, one serving per day of nuts was associated with a 30-percent lower risk of CHD compared with one serving per day of red meat! Similarly, compared with one serving per day of red meat, a lower risk was associated with one serving per day of low-fat dairy, poultry and fish.

I’ve even seen grass fed meet at Costco.
I would love to see a study done with two groups of healthy individuals. One group who ate wild fish and organic poultry and other group who ate grass feed beef. That would be more significant.
Folks go so far as to poke a bit of fun of me for beating the drum so hard for things like olive oil and fish oil, when there is so much evidence that a proper balance of Omega 3/6/9 is so important for health.
I am going to bet that if that beef they were consuming was grass fed, the results would have been different. But most of us dont eat only grass fed beef. So we need to balance it out.
So eat your damn fish oil. Eat your vegetables. Cook with olive oil at least some of the time. If you have the $$ and the opportunity, buy yourself some grass fed beef. If you live in the right place, get a deer or elk license, that shit is good for you.
