Red Meat🥩 not the cause of chronic disease, but our greatest ally in fighting it.
However, we all have that friend who still thinks that eating fat makes you fat and meat gives you a heart attack.

1. We no longer eat real food

UPF are industrial foods that contain added ingredients, flavors, colors, sweeteners, stabilizers, etc.

3) More effective source of micronutrients

Meaning more of the nutrients are able to be absorbed and utilized by the body.

Why these oils are terrible for your health;

The bad foods we eat like seed oils, refined sugars, processed food can cause this inflammation.
When our immune system is less capable of fighting this off, overtime, it often compounds into chronic disease.
So red meat is actually needed in order to prevent chronic disease.

We were wrong.
The science is clear: we should be prescribing Ozempic, antidepressants, statins and metformin to 12 year olds.

One 12 year study on ~500,000 people in 10 different European countries investigated this distinction between meats and their differing affects on mortality.
