So beefy ;)

We all know meat is delicious , but anything that is too good has it's pro's and con's . According to a new study done by "Archives of internal medicine" red meat (usually processed meat) present more health risks than we realize . Study author Frank Hu (a professor of nutrition and epidemiology) found that people who consume red meat (beef , lamb or pork) have a thirteen percent increased risk of mortality , compared to those who ate a smaller amount of meat . Processed meats raise the risk even higher (up to about twenty percent). Cause of death being of heart disease and cancer . Honestly this alarm's me a tad bit but my question is , how much is too much ? How do we know when we are crossing the line between healthy and unhealthy ? Because i will never become a vegetarian ! Nope . Well according to the american cancer society Consumption of red meat should be limited to two to three times a week . People who replaced red meat with a alternative food that still had sources of protein decreased their  risk of premature death . Choosing chicken along with other kinds of poultry decreased the risk by a staggering fourteen percent . Fish ended up decreasing the risk by seven percent while legumes decreased the risk by ten percent . It's clear that red meat is something we do not want to stop eating , the solution to avoiding premature death along with life threatening diseases like cancer and various heart diseases is to limit consumption of red meat. It is also suggested that if you prefer to have red meat as a stable in your diet that you should try to grill it rather than fry it .
