Summary
Dangerous and controversial headlines are everywhere and these headlines can kill!
Headline: "No need to reduce red or processed meat for good health!"
Sadly, this is cancer causing clickbait and it's putting the health of millions in jeopardy. The risk of cancer, heart disease, and other ailments is very real and this episode has the science to prove it.
Dr. Neal Barnard and Mark Kennedy, Esq. join "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to discuss this controversial research that defies the conclusions of scores of research and the World Health Organization which declared red and processed meats to be carcinogenic to humans.
The group gets to the truth about red meat, including years of research showing the harmful effects of eating as little as one slice of bacon every day! They also examine where researchers went wrong and how by omitting certain facts they arrived at such a dangerous conclusion.
