Red Meat—Not the Cause of Chronic Disease, But the Solution!
Placentia, CA, May 31, 2007. For years we have been told to avoid red meats, (beef, pork, and lamb) due to the cholesterol and fat content. The animal fat/cholesterol theory has been shown to be nothing but myths! A little known fact, even to the scientific community, is that red meat offers much greater protection from chronic diseases than any of the protein sources recommended with the heart healthy diet, the food pyramid, or the food guidelines, (chicken, turkey, fish, and soy protein). The support structure of the body consists primarily of the connective tissues, collagen and elastin, and represent twenty-five percent of the protein in the body. The amino acids and proteins essential to build and maintain these tissues are abundant in beef, pork, and lamb, but are absent or negligible in chicken, turkey, fish, fruits, soy protein, and other vegetables! For a better understanding of how red meat can lower your risk of chronic diseases, Harold Rongey, Ph.D., a food scientist and nutritionist, has released the second book in his series on health and nutrition. “Who Stole My Food? Book II, Be Forever Healthy” reviews the nutritional factors critical to having a healthy support structure and overall good health.
