HEALTH: Red Meat Kills; Black Boys and Food Allergies
March 24th, 2009Red Meat Could Be Ticket to Early Grave
Here’s a tip for those wanting to live a long and healthy life: Leave the hotdogs, burgers and spareribs alone. That’s right, a new study shows that those who make a daily habit of acting out their carnivorous propensities have a higher risk of suffering from maladies like heart disease and cancer over a 10-year period. In other words, munching on red meat marks a shortcut to the grave. “This is the biggest and highest quality study like this,” says Barry M. Popkin, Ph.D., from the University of North Carolina, who wrote an editorial accompanying the study, which was published Monday in Archives of Internal Medicine. “They collected the diet data very carefully, and it’s saying to people, ‘You don’t have to eat red meat every day.’” The decade-long study of more than a half-million people found that “people who ate the most red meat every day (about 62.5 grams per 1,000 calories per day, equivalent to a quarter-pound burger or small steak per day) had about a 30-percent greater risk of dying compared with those who consumed the least amount of red meat (a median of 9.8 grams per 1,000 calories per day),” ABC/Reuters News reports. “The excess mortality was mostly the result of cardiovascular disease and cancer.” The study, conducted by a research team led by Rashmi Sinha, Ph.D., from the National Cancer Institute in Rockville, Md., looked at all types of beef and pork, including bacon, cold cuts, ham, hamburgers, hot dogs, and steak, as well as meat in pizza, chili, lasagna, and stew.
Black Boys More Likely to Suffer Food Allergies
Nobody is at greater risk of food allergies than Black boys. A study presented at this year’s annual Meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, revealed that non-Hispanic Black boys and boys of low-income families are more prone to be sensitive to foods, particularly peanuts and shrimp, than other children.

Excellent story. It is not totally the meat, but how it is raised and prepared. Also, I do not think meat was introduced into humans diets to be consumed daily anyway. It should be a treat, but humans who can put meat on the table feels that they have arrived somehow (financially).

First of all, let me start off by informing you that I have been studying nutrition for 30 years and considered an expert in the field of epidemiologic studies of nutrition’s effect on human health.
I think that it is utterly reprehensible that you should be allowed to proliferate such a horrendously untrue and nutritionally dangerous message. There are impressionable young people out there who don’t know that what your blog states is fallcious. Red meat is essential for human health–without it, you don’t get heme iron, and you reduce cholesterol and saturated fat intake. Contrary to popular rhetoric, cholesterol is essential for the digestion and assimilation of fat and fat-soluble vitamins, the procession of neural information, as well as immune and muscular function. Without aturated fat, we would experience rapid oxidation of cells by free radicals and we age prematurely and die. Without heme iron, we might die from pernicious anemia.
On a personal level:
Have you ever seen someone that you love die as a result of consuming red meat? I have. I watch my mother die a long and painful death as a result of the type of deprivation you are condoning. We need to make sure that all our fellow human beings have access to quality meats that are rich in nutrition and free of disease, antibiotics, and growth hormones. Especially in developing countries where protein/fat malnutrition abounds.
Erata:
The above message contains several typos, one which if misinterpreted, could promote dangerous eating habits.
The message beginning with “On a personal level” should read:
Have you ever seen someone that you love die as a result of NOT consuming red meat? I have. I watched my mother die a long and painful death as a result of the type of deprivation you are condoning. We need to make sure that ALL our fellow human beings have access to QUALITY RED MEATS THAT ARE TAHT ARE RICH IN NUTRITION, FREE OF DISEASE, ANTIBIOTICS, AND GROWTH HORMONES. Especially in developing countries where protein/fat malnutrition abounds.
Please take a note of this. The other typos are unimportant and I am not going to correct them. I am a scientist, not a typist.
