Well Denise Minger, paleo crusader and epidemiological study critic*, has wrote a review of the study making its rounds claiming that eating red meet will shave years off your life. Her conclusion, in short, is it doesn't.
Some highlights:
1) a copy of the study questionnaire and a nod to the fact that self reporting is inconsistent at best...MFP's take note!
2) a graph, from another study, showing individuals with greater red meat intake have lower cholesterol then those eating less red meat
3) the observation that a good portion of red meat in an average eaters diet comes from hamburgers, typically the fast food kind. There is no way the health of a frequent fast food eater can be solely attributed to red meat alone.
*check our her work on the China Study for a good read...
