Is red meat really bad for you?: BBC News Review

If you love sausages, bacon and other processed red meat, you might not have to cut it out from your diet after all. Researchers - led by Dalhousie University and McMaster University in Canada - reviewed the same evidence other scientists have looked at before and came to the conclusion that the risks for health are not as great as thought.
The story
Sausages and bacon are back on the menu after an international team of experts concluded there's little evidence that eating red and processed meat increases the risk of cancer. Public health bodies say the findings undermine sensible eating advice.

Is there more to coffee than just drinking it? Experts say that the smell of the beans is just as important. Neil and Catherine discuss the science behind why coffee often smells better than it tastes and teach some new vocabulary along the way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4OWiJd4epZggK8

I feel like it's so hard to really know what food/diet is truly the best nowadays cause there's so much conflicting information. Lots of people think veganism is 100% the healthiest diet, but then there's other people who swear by keto, low carb, gluten free, carnivore etc.

[@bbclearningenglish]

You are right - there is always conflicting information so it's best to follow the advice you trust most and listen to your body.

[@tyom737]

The most healthy way to eat is to drink only water :)

[@htt1867]

To listen to your body, not follow the trends. What your body really needs, which diets are suitable for you. A healthy and balance diet is always the most viral key for better lifestyle.

[@bbclearningenglish]

We're not 100% sure of your question, but to clarify: Going cold turkey means to stop doing a habit immediately. Rather the gradually stopping doing something, it means that you totally give up there and then. It is an immediate stop to a (usually bad) habit. Does that help you, Christopher?
