Summary
Researchers have known for years that red meat is anything but a health food. Dozens of studies have shown that eating it increases the risk of multiple forms of cancer and heart disease. Now, Dr. Joel Kahn joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™ with three NEW reasons not to eat red meat, some of which might surprise you!
Also on the show, does a McDonald's hamburger or a veggie burger have a bigger impact on diabetes? Dr. Hana Kahleova had 20 men chow down in the name of science to find out. She joins Chuck to go over some eye opening results!
Then we unveil The Exam Room Burger! It's a smoky black bean quinoa burger created exclusively for the show by the ultra-talented vegan chef Lauren Kretzer! This is a recipe you're not going to want to miss!
The Exam Room Burger
vegan, gluten free, oil free
By Lauren Kretzer
Serves 6
Ingredients:
- 1 (15.5 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- ½ cup cooked quinoa
- ½ cup walnuts
- ½ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
- ¼ cup oat flour
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 Tbsp tahini
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 Tbsp tamari
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- Whole wheat hamburger buns, sliced avocado, and sprouts, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silicone baking mat (such as Silpat).
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with an "S" blade, add black beans, quinoa, walnuts, cilantro, oat flour, garlic, tahini, tomato paste, tamari, salt, chili powder and paprika. Process until ingredients are just combined; mixture should have some texture, but should hold together.
- Transfer burger mixture to a cutting board and divide evenly into 6 patties (about 3-3 ½" in diameter).
- Place burger patties on lined baking sheet and cook for 18-20 minutes, turning halfway.
- Serve burgers on hamburger buns with avocado and sprouts (and/or any other desired toppings).

| 0:00.0 | Recently you've been talking a lot about red meat and I know that you have three reasons now why people shouldn't be eating red meat. |
| 0:06.6 | Reason of all, and everybody write this down, four letters T-M-A-O. |
| 0:11.1 | It actually promotes hardening of the arteries and it promotes clumping of the blood. |
| 0:15.2 | And if you have harden arteries and clumb blood you're having a stroke or a heart attack. |
| 0:19.1 | That's where it comes from, red meat and egg yolk. |
| 0:21.5 | Well hello there and welcome to the exam room podcast brought to you by the Physicians Committee. |
| 0:34.1 | Hi, I am the Weight Loss Champion Chuck Carroll. |
| 0:36.4 | Thanks so much for taking the time to give the show a listen this week or download. |
| 0:40.5 | Maybe it's a view on YouTube? |
| 0:42.4 | Wherever it is that you are, we appreciate the fact that you are here. |
| 0:47.9 | There's already so much evidence that shows that red meat and healthy diets are in fact mutually exclusive. |
| 0:59.7 | Gobs of research has shown that eating red meat increases the risk of colon cancer, |
| 1:05.4 | pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, so many things. |
| 1:09.0 | And one of the studies that was done on this is just enormous. |
| 1:15.4 | We're talking about more than 120,000 people being tracked for nearly 30 years. |
| 1:23.2 | Now this was an analysis that was done at the Harvard School of Public Health. |
| 1:27.1 | And what they found was that eating just one serving of red meat every day spikes the risk |
| 1:35.3 | of death by 12%. But in that same study, researchers showed that skipping the burgers and steaks |
| 1:43.7 | it dropped the same risk by as much as 19%. That's a huge swing. |
| 1:51.1 | And of all of those who died over that three decades span, researchers also concluded that |
| 1:57.6 | many of those deaths could have been prevented just by taking red meat off of their plate. |
