red meat and cancer

This isn't exactly new news, but anything health related worth repeating :
"Regularly eating red meat increases significantly risk of death from heart disease and cancer, according to a study of more than 120,000 people carried out over 28 years."

basic points

  • while a vital source of some vitamins, advice is to limit red meat consumption to 500g per week
  • (again no surprise) adding nuts to diet had beneficial effect on mortality
