Red meat has been given a bad rep for heart health in people whose diets have a high proportion of it, but a new study finds that white meat may be just as bad when it comes to cholesterol.

Despite the common belief that white meats are less detrimental to our health, both red meat and white meat contain saturated fats, which increase levels of LDL cholesterol and increase a person’s risk of heart attacks, stroke and peripheral artery disease.

The small study involved 113 people who normally had diets that were either high or low in saturated fats. All participants tried a red meat, white meat and plant-based protein diet for one month each, with the order in which they ate these diets decided at random. In between the monthly diets, participants were able to eat their normal diet for a few weeks. Cholesterol levels were checked before and after each test diet.

Whereas red and white meat have higher levels of saturated fat, “plant-based diets are higher in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, or ‘healthy fats,’ as well as being packed with fiber,” Larlee Jensen, a registered dietitian in New York City who was not involved in the study, told ABC News. Dr. Brian Geller, a clinical and interventional cardiologist, told ABC News that the findings support much of what is currently recommended by health professionals. He said the findings suggest that going forward, plant-based diets could be used to help prevent cholesterol problems throughout communities rather than an individual remedy for people who are already dealing with cholesterol problems.

We all gonna die. So eat what you like!

Lets just eat grass!!! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Everything in moderation . Eat less meat more vegetables ,fruits and legumes 😳

What color meat is healthier...Black Meat?

Bet fast food and highly processed mock meats do damage as well.

Does the study take into consideration about the QUALITY of the meat? If it's factory farmed and injected with hormones and stuffed with soy or pasture raised with no added growth hormones or gmo diet. The devil is in the details.

I would just hate when I die if I died of nothing.

Where’s the beef 🥩

No. If you read the study, it says only if the two portions are equivalent in saturated fats (not portion size). If portions are equal, 100g of steak is 8-9g of saturated fat. 100g of skinless chicken breast: 1-2g of saturated fat. Red meat still has a more negative impact on LDL

This food has been eaten for hundreds of thousands of years. People like their meat and hate people that try to change it.

This report brought to you by beef, it's what's for dinner.

This is not new information

Eat in moderation. Exercise and enjoy life. Bottom line is this. We all have to die. There is no getting around it. Have a nice day😁

In other words nobody really knows what’s healthy meat and what’s not healthy meat

Red meat gives stamina and other benefits to human strenght. Without the read meat, the lion won't be able to take down the bufallo, or the cheetah won't outrun the gazelle, or the leopard won't carry his meal up to the tree, or the python won't squeeze air out of its preys.

Is there ANYTHING we can eat that is healthy? Gave up red meat - only eat white meat. Now that's gonna kill me too! Why even bother trying to eat healthy? Gonna have pizza and Dr. Pepper for dinner with ice cream for dessert. SuckIt

All meat is bad, for people and the animals who are killed for it.

Never met a happy Vegan

Chicken breast has zero saturated fat but is loaded with cholesterol. Beans are high in protein and have no saturated fat and no cholesterol.

Meat is good food. That is all.

The heck with. None of these so called experts have a clue. Follow the money if you want to know how the 'medical profession' comes to these conclusions.

Yep pork is the 1 culprit !

Vegans die too...there is no scientific evidence that vegans live longer than meat eaters

You know what....

Portion Portion Eat a little Drink a Little. Walk a little. Look at the portions when we go out to eat. Dont eat it all. Just cause its there

So no matter what you eat expect bad things in older age

Best and healthiest nutrition is Plant-Based with no meat, milk or egg products.

Be Vegan do you don’t get confused.

Remember that food pyramid they made us study in school in the late 70’s. 4 servings of bread a day!! Eating more than 2 eggs a week will kill you. Be skeptical of science.

That’s racist I eat them all unless fish 🌮 too strong

So Scientists were wrong Again.

Too much as well as too little of virtually anything & everything is not good. The information often is only as good as the last book & persists until the next. Balance, reason, common sense & good genetics from having chosen the right parents will get you by..fretting will not

We should just not eat anything. Everything is killing us. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

How about just skipping the meat altogether? 💚 vegetarian goveggie

An the news really means to say we ALL die! Gee...just live a happy life! Whatever good for you! Remember: Undertakers & the tax man are never without a job!

Number of studies showing a link between cholesterol and heart disease (none):

Study no doubt paid for by Beef Industry.

‘ May be ‘ Don’t eat too much of any one thing and ignore the studies.

It's the same analogy as beer (as my dad used to tell me), you don't have to drink it all in 1 night.

Thanks for the update from PETA.

Eat bean sprouts and tofu. Die anyway. Pass the tasty juicy delicious meat.

Read it. Sample size is minuscule.

if a doctor told me if you eat one more juicy and delicious medium rare ribeye steak you will die, I would respond “ok make the funeral arrangements.”

Not gonna live forever, and it’s not healthy to avoid altogether anyway.

Next week it will be tuna please give us a break.

I'm gonna go with the old adage: 'everything in moderation.'

One study is not your buddy.

That's not true and you know it. From somebody with experience and regular labs done, reducing red meet (to 3x per month) and subbing w/chicken breasts, my chol went from 275 to 150 and I maintain those s today.

Oh great, just great. Is just eating the grilled barbeque sauce still okay for this summer?

We really shouldn’t eat anything. Studies show that although that might cause death, we won’t have to worry about cholesterol or faulty information

Jesus then no meat makes sense?

Yeah. Like the butter, high-fat, low-fat saturated, unsaturated, eggs, bacon and all other pointless food industry-driven and sponsored debates. Tiresome and repetitive. And to be taken with a pinch of salt. Oh, goodness, yes, salt too, of course. 🙄

I have been eating so much chicken I am starting to cluck ... NOW you tell me I could have had my favorite steak all this time? ... next you will say I can have 2 dozen cups of coffee a day ... what? ... they did? ... science is a JOKE on America!

Virtually anything consumed excessively is bad for someone in one way or another.

Just eat a bit less of it. Everything in excess is bad. You don’t have to have a steak every night. Our ancestors ate meat only when it was hunted or harvested. Eat less and enjoy it more like God intended.

It's good for you Correction, It's bad for you These researches are all over the place.

Bring on the burgers....

Still eating meat

Just turned vegetarian.

Because the fat content in chicken has increased as raising methods have changed. Have you seen how huge chicken breasts have become?

Here’s trying to push the vegan agenda in order to subtly support the Green New Deal. A year or two of publishing these fake studies and headlines will read “Men who eat meat are ruinging the world”

This is how good these studies are! We should stop funding them.

FAT IS FAT. GREASE IS GREASE

Can I have fish 🐠 taco 🌮

👅 👅 👅 👅

She’s hot

Cholesterol👏🏻isn’t 👏🏻all👏🏻bad👌🏼

.ImpossibleFoods you wanna chime in here?😏

New study brought to you by big cattle inc.

not all cholesterol is bad cholesterol. Eat proper proportion sizes & cook it properly, keep exercising and meat is the healthiest thing you'll eat.

This study was based on 113 people. Gtfoh

In the end. No meat 🥩..... 😂 😂 😂

Eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. Enjoy your life. No one gets out alive.

Wtf!

A lot of people don’t exercise though so.....

And that's why I eat rotted fermented tofu. Jk

I don't think so

Drink beer!.... 😎😎😎

Eat more plants 🌱

Veganism is NOT the answer moderation and balance are.

Really probably lies?

Moderately Eat!!

If I listened to all the BS about what's bad for me, I'd starve to death. We've been doing just fine for the last million years, thank you.

I never met a happy vegan

“When saturated fats were equal”... how exactly is that possible serving v serving? Turkey v tri-tip? Hmm!?

Big Beef is at it again

Yes. Steak it is.

Honestly meat is meat anymore, unless it’s wild. Still have to be careful with the wild game too

FFS. Just eat what you want to eat in moderation already.

I may die young but I'll die happy

Lies, untruths, fabrications Get a new story this one is done to death

Trump doesn’t care if it’s red meat, black meat, or Mexican meat from any of their three countries just get it outta his country !! impeachtrump magats trumpsupremecist fascismaliveandwell

Eat what you want in moderation. These studies are ever-changing. What a waste of taxpayer money.

Really? Any studies on eating grass? Oh yea, it gives cows flatulence.

Red meat, white meat, cell phones, hair dryers, on and on. Enjoy your life in moderation.

So all meat is bad for you? Are you saying that every predator/carnivore has had it wrong since the beginning of time? Interesting

Let's eat air and lettuce all day then.

You guys should make up your mind 🙄

So what? Cholesterol isn't bad, I wish they'd stop spreading this nonsense.

So just don’t eat meat. Sounds like a great solution to multiple problems

Dark meat always bad 😘
