Subject: Is eating meat REALLY as bad as smoking?
If you
hadn't seen this already, a study recently
came out essentially implying that eating
meat
is as bad for you as smoking.
The question, of course,
is whether this is actually true or total
BS strategically arranged to just make headlines!
My friends at Examine.com
just published an EXCELLENT in-
depth article on this study...how it was set up, the methods they
used, and whether the study should really be taken seriously.
It's great information...and if
you like no-hype, science-based
analysis, this is going to be right up your alley.
Here's
the direct link to the article...
And check out the questions they bring up in the article...
-
“Does exercise exert a protective effect?” - this study did not
measure exercise.
-
“What about sources of protein?” - this study did not
measure anything beyond whether it came from an animal
or plant. Chicken breast is not comparable to processed
bologna meat.
-
“Do these results apply to persons younger than 50?” - we don’t know
-
“What about eating your veggies and fruits?” - vegetable and
fruit servings were not counted, just carbohydrates and fats.
-
“What did they eat in place of protein in the low protein
group?” - protein as a percent of caloric intake was assessed,
but not levels of carbs or fats (beyond group averages before
division into thirds for analysis), so we don’t know if the
macronutrient used to replace protein had a protective effect
or not.
-
“Fast food versus home cooked?” - not measured.
-
“Could a healthy lifestyle completely circumvent these effects?” -
perhaps, but the study never looked into ‘a healthy lifestyle’
beyond macronutrients
-
“What about weight loss?” - the study controlled for ‘attempted
weight loss’, so it would be prudent to assume that no
significant weight loss occurred in most subjects. Due to this,
any questions pertaining to whether weight loss exerted a
protective effect (usually does in other studies, if the weight
loss occurs in obese persons) cannot be answered by this study
I'm a big fan of the Examine.com
site...their ENTIRE site is dedicated
to bringing this kind of detailed, in-depth, SCIENTIFIC analysis to
the world of supplements.
And for the next few days, you can get access to their full Supplement
Reference guide for a reduced price of just 29 bucks...until Wednesday
at midnight. Then the price goes up PERMANENTLY to 49 bucks.
Great info and if you take supplements,
you'll save more than this
with just the first supplement you DON'T buy because of their info!
