Summary
Eating meat could help you live longer. That's according to research, but the results appear to have a major flaw.
Dr. Matthew Nagra joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room LIVE to talk about the findings and how he believes researchers missed the mark by such a wide margin. As he points out, the data could also be interpreted to show another major carcinogen could also extend your life. But nobody is arguing that smoking is the key to longevity.
Dr. Nagra also answers questions sent into The Doctor's Mailbag.
- Is chicken a healthier option?
- Are lean meats harmful to heart health?
- Can chocolate increase cholesterol?
- Does sugar increase cholesterol?
- Many more!
Join Chuck and experts for The Exam Room Live Wednesdays at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT on Facebook and YouTube.
