Hello Again!
Beef is a staple in the typical Western diet and can be found in hamburger, steak and some processed meats like hot dogs. The term "red meat" is often used interchangeably with beef but may also refer to goat, horse or sheep meat. Despite its rich iron and protein content, red meat can be unhealthy when eaten in excess. Learning why red meat is bad for you allows you to weigh the risks and benefits to make an informed choice about your diet. Like lard, butter and other animal products, red meat is high in saturated fat. According to the Mayo Clinic, excessive consumption of saturated fat raises cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
