Red and processed meat are not ok for health, study says, despite news to the contrary

CNN  

CNN — If you’ve been swayed by recent reports that red and processed meat isn’t harmful to your health, put down that bacon – there’s bad news. New analysis of long term data on nearly 30,000 people found a small but significant risk of death from any cause tied toeating two servings of processed meat or unprocessed red meat each week. “It’s a small difference, but it’s worth trying to reduce red meat and processed meat like pepperoni, bologna and deli meats,” Allen said, adding that prior research has also shown an association with other major health risks such as cancer. Large public health impact The new analysis, published Monday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, found a 3% to 7% higher risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death for people who ate two servings of red meat and processed meat each week. “With about 1 million people being diagnosed with heart disease every year, even a small reduction in absolute risk can have a considerable effect and reduce the number of people suffering.” According to Kevin McConway, a retired professor from Open University, a distant learning center in the UK, that new study’s perspective appears to be a key reason that their findings differed so much from last fall’s report saying red meat is fine to eat.
