Considering the nutritional benefits and health implications of red meat in the era of meatless initiatives by Melissa Kavanaugh, Diana Rodgers, Nancy Rodriguez, Frédéric Leroy

“…Many epidemiological studies suggest potential associations between excessive red meat consumption and increased risk of certain chronic diseases, but this evidence does not conclusively implicate red meat in the development or progression of chronic disease. The nutritional and health implications of reducing red meat consumption must be balanced against the low certainty of evidence used to discourage red meat intake when making dietary recommendations.…”
