Re: Is red meat OK to eat or not? Scientists uncertain

Speaking of exposing... The good doctor Neal Barnard...

 

PETA has funneled over $1.3 million to Dr. Barnard’s organization, the misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). The animal-rights watchdog newspaper Animal People News has called PETA and PCRM “a single fundraising unit,” and accused them of attempting to “evade public recognition of their relationship.”

Barnard, a non-practicing psychiatrist, has been PETA’s “medical advisor” and still writes a column in the group’s monthly magazine. Until recently, Barnard was president of the PETA Foundation, which owns PETA’s real estate and pays most of its salaries.

“Neal Barnard is using his latest book to disguise animal rights propaganda as medical advice,” said Center for Consumer Freedom Director of Research David Martosko. “Most Americans are too smart to take dietary advice from PETA. But that’s exactly what you get with Barnard’s anti-meat recommendations.”

Martosko continued: “There’s nothing wrong with a vegetarian diet for the small percentage of people who enjoy it. But Dr. Barnard should be honest about why he’s promoting meatless and milkless eating. Americans struggling with diabetes should get help from a full-time physician, not a save-the-chickens psychiatrist.”

Who is Richard Berman to say who is who? 

 

Dr. Neal Barnard has done more to promote health and to

reverse diabetes than any thing this guy has done. 

 

I’m thankful Dr. Barnard, and many other physicians supporting

this bogus, clickbait information, has worked to make this

public.  Just a matter of time before it’s retracted completely.

 

The thing is...the work physicians are doing to expose this are

helping EVERYONE in the medical/research field, no matter

what side of the dietary fence you stand.  So before people start

bashing one doctor or another....the ones fighting the hardest 

are helping ALL.  Dr. Barnard is a force for good health.

and this action proves it. 

 

But ignorant people will cut off their nose to spite their face

to try and ‘prove a point.’  You do you, boo.

Nowhere in the  below-printed authoritative article on the National Institutes of Health website does it say that a PLANTS-ONLY diet is THE ANSWER  to a disease-free, long life.

 

NOTE:  Other articles about diet and health on the NIH website discuss the benefits of "more plants in our diet", but do not exclude the importance of dairy, lean meat, or seafood.

 

If you don't trust what NIH tells you, then don't trust any doctor or medical professional, either, because much of what they know originates or is research-funded by NIH.  Among the many parts of NIH is the Center for Disease Control.

 

You can read more at the NIH.gov website if you are not familiar with our nation's largest  medical research institution--funded by our taxpayer dollars, not some special-industry or lobbying interest.

How Your Eating Habits Affect Your Health



A healthy eating plan lowers your risk for heart disease and other health conditions.


A new study shows how the things you eat can influence your risk of dying from heart disease, stroke, or type 2 diabetes. The findings suggest ways to change your eating habits to improve your health.


Experts already know that a healthy eating plan includes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat dairy products. A healthy diet also includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. It limits saturated and trans fats, sodium, and added sugars.


NIH-funded scientists analyzed how these 10 dietary factors affect your risk of death from heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. These are known as cardiometabolic diseases. The team relied on data from the CDC’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and national mortality data.


The scientists found that risk of death from the 3 diseases was higher for those who consumed too much sodium, processed meat, sugar-sweetened beverages, and unprocessed red meat. Risk of death was also higher among those who didn’t eat enough nuts and seeds, seafood omega-3 fats, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, or polyunsaturated fats. According to the analysis, nearly half (45%) of deaths in 2012 from the 3 diseases was associated with too much or too little of these 10 dietary factors.


“This study establishes the number of cardiometabolic deaths that can be linked to Americans’ eating habits, and the number is large,” explains Dr. David Goff, a heart disease and public health expert at NIH. “Second, it shows how recent reductions in those deaths relate to improvements in diet, and this relationship is strong. There is much work to be done in preventing heart disease, but we also know that better dietary habits can improve our health quickly, and we can act on that knowledge by making and building on small changes that add up over time.”
