Red Meat Shortens Life, Says Large Federal Study

April 5, 2009: 07:37 AM EST
People should avoid eating red meat, including pork, and processed meats, every day, says Barry Popkin, a professor of global nutrition at the University of North Carolina, commenting on a recent federal study that looked at the diets of 500,000 middle-aged and elderly Americans. The study showed that people who eat the equivalent of a small hamburger every day were more than 30 percent more likely to die than others. Dietitians recommend eating more fish and white meat.
