Dr. Joe Schwarcz: The facts on red meat

[@Hopeof7suns]

As an RN, I like this guy. I like his moderate neutral, evidence based approach. However the nitrate solution in processed meat like hotdogs are a known carcinogen… corporate money covers it up. :)

[@veganevolution]

Being moderate is how you get the most followers

[@jonlee2186]

Ya, I agree with you, sounds like your pretty well informed.

[@EbonyPope]

Do you know what neutralizes the carcinogens? It's something we seem to instinctively eat with it. It's mustard. No kidding look it up. Also a lot of carcinogen inhibiting substances are produced when you grill meat. That's a fact very few people know about.

[@thankyou4416]

Mustard is delicious! Wow! I didn’t know this, but I remember that helps with muscle pain. That basketball players take some right before a game. ✨

George Carlin did a segment it's called it's bad for you. I was on a vegan diet for two months I had almost no energy. I started eating meat again and I feel fantastic now.

Lol i guess ethics have zero effect on your decisions. Why not try different food options. Roman gladiators had plant based diet anyway.

[@veganevolution]

@@n0yn0y true. I crave chickpeas, I recently realized. Highest source of some b vitamins, more than meat. But indeed people grow up in a culture based on eating meat, then wing it at veganism for "two months". If you don't do it for an ethical purpose, or you don't know who Dr. Greger is, it's no wonder you don't magically select a proper variety of vegetables, or whatever nasty meat simulators they arbitrarily select. Beans are the number one food associated with long life.

Kidney beans can't replace the protein in meat. But soybeans can. Tofu is made from soybeans. All you need is half a pack of firm tofu to replace chicken breast in a meal. In fact, per 100g, soybeans have more protein than chicken. So it's very misleading to make it sound like getting enough protein without meat is a difficult feat.

[@freepdfjunkie2193]

I left the following comment below in a reply to someone else. It fits well here too. I almost bought some Tofu several years ago, but had a feeling it wasn't a good idea. Years later I found out that Soy products are VERY unhealthy. Soy RAISES Estrogen levels and LOWERS Testosterone levels in men. Hence the term "Soy Boy". IDK what it does to women's hormones, but it's probably equally bad. I read package labels and avoid products containing Soy.

[@allencrider]

People don't even need to replace the protein in meat!

[@grandpa1011]

Every bean can. You can just mix it with a whole grain like whole wheat tortilla, pasta, brown rice... And you got a complete protein

The vast majority of people are eating more than enough protein. You don’t even have to eat beans or meat, whole grains provide plenty. Besides, animals live longer and healthier on low-protein diets anyway.

[@tomedwards1879]

I think he is saying eat a primarily plant based diet, with the occasional "cheat" meat dish, if you must. I think most people would not be willing to give up meat completely. I have been eating an entirely plant based diet for 6 months. It has been great for my health and I don't miss eating meat, diary or eggs at all. But not everyone is willing to take that step.

[@davidplyler8173]

There is a question that cutting down on eating meat will be good for the environment. Traditional farming destroys the topsoil, takes tons of toxic fertilizer and herbicides. There are drawbacks to the environment from raising animals also. My thinking the more pasture cattle we can raise the better for our topsoil and thus the environment and our health.

[@davidplyler8173]

@Richard Hildebrand just got back from a trip through eastern New Mexico and saw hundreds of cattle grazing on natural grassland. 100% efficient use of the land. The cattle feed and water themselves, no fertilizers, no use of diesel to till and harvest the crops, very little manpower too produce the food, no use of irrigation to soak the land, no loss of topsoil, no destroying the natural habitat and the animals the wild animals and fauna that exists there, you can't get any more efficient than that. And the land isn't suited to farm anyway, there's not enough water underground there. I also saw hundreds of antelope grazing.

[@danielpaquet724]

We've been eating meat for millions of years, we evolved with it. Its also a myth about the envirinomental footprint, big agriculture does as much damage on a calorie per calorie basis.

[@pietrocantuccini5584]

NewScientist magazine has given me more decisive information over time than this. No talk about nitrosamines for the ardent BBQ freaks? Nothing about resources consumption for the different kind of meat sources. (Turkey & kangaroo are the most sustainable and oeco-friendly kinds). No info about 'necessary' monthly intakes (1kg/month gets you all the micronutrients that are burdensome to obtain from elsewhere; and you can easily stretch that amount through Spagh.Bologneses + salads, Chinese Stir fry + lots of veges etc.). Tut, ..

[@andreasleonlandgren3092]

The question can instead be: How much meat is safe to eat? How much fish is safe to eat. All or nothing statements are not credible. I think eating veg,fish,meat Every other day is perfect and one more day if one of the a week the one you feel like eating the most on Saturday for instance. Have the not so healthy food once twice or trice a week its ok just not more Than that. Get inspired instead if defensive. Its fun to learn how to be healthier. Health is balance not extremes.

So suppose if everyone turns vegan ,to feed all of the vegan should not massive amount of land will be needed and water resources also to cultivate ? I know to produce just 1 kg of rice we need 2500 litre of water and to produce 1 kg of beef it’s 5000 to 20000 litre water . But where u can survive having beef as it’s much more wholesome u can’t on rice as it’s pure carb.

[@Hlebka]

Why would vegans eat rice in the first place ? Ever heard of soy? Almost 80% of the world’s soybean crop is fed to livestock, especially for beef, chicken, egg and dairy production, if everyone in America were to remove meat from their diet, there would be enough extra grain grown to feed 1.4 billion people. Soy is the main thing that vegans eat - tofu, soymilk, edamame, soy nuts and sprouts, fermented soy products include - miso, tempeh, natto and soy sauce.

@@Hlebka , This isn't a pseudo theory, there are videos here on YT showing that doctors have tested the estrogen and testosterone of men that eat soy and their hormones are messed up until they have been off of soy for a few months. You may also want to look for the video that explains why immigrants from Japan who's children grow up on the American diet without eating soy, grow a lot taller than their parents. It's because Soy stunts the growth of people who eat it.
