Is red meat bad for you? A multiverse analysis shows that the answer varies by analytic method. The takeaway beyond meat is that this approach should be used for most observational research.
Someone in my family seems to be suffering from digestion problems due to lack of gut bacteria, which was likely killed off through docs over-prescribing antibiotics like crazy… like candy. So I searched for info on restoring gut bugs. A common dietary recommendation for gut bug restoration is to stop eating red meat, or to cut back on it, I forgot which. IIRC it’s because some gut bugs thrive on red meat much more so than other gut bugs and it creates an imbalance.
I have no idea how solid that info is but someone should be checking that. Only like 1% of the population qualifies to donate their feces for fecal transplants. Not joking. Their shit is literally valuable. Those people are found to have a strong healthy variety of gut bugs. When their feces gets packed into gelcaps and someone swallows them, the consumer can repopulate their gut with good bacteria. Someone should follow those stool donors around and see how much red meat they are eating.
Note as well recent research shows that race horses which have the healthiest gut bugs win more prize money. Not sure about mortality, but @[email protected]’s article focuses on mortality when maybe that’s a little too blunt of an instrument.
Not super conclusive here. Lean not dangerous? Eh, it doesn’t actually matter that much, I like steak and I’m not eating it every day.
