Does Eating Meat Help Or Harm Our Health?

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Mitopure, and Super
Simple Grassfed Protein. While anti-meat advocates and scientists
have tried to scare Americans by linking meat to everything from
cancer to heart disease, diabetes, and even obesity, research
actually shows meat is a nutrient-dense food that can help prevent
disease and nutritional deficiencies when you eat it with plenty of
plants and vegetables (and not as part of the typical Western diet
and lifestyle). That doesn’t mean there isn’t a dark side to eating
meat, but there are good scientific and health-minded reasons to
eat high-quality, organic, grass-fed, sustainably raised meat as
part of an overall healthy diet. In today’s episode of my series
I’m calling Health Bites, I discuss why meat is such a contentious
food, whether meat really contributes to global warming, and how to
make the most informed decision about purchasing and eating
meat.  This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health,
