Studies Mentioned:
Gu, X. et al. Red meat intake and risk of type 2 diabetes in a prospective cohort study of United States females and males. Am. J. Clin. Nutr. (2023) doi:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.08.021.
Study Time Stamps:
00:55 The Harvard study is flawed, comparing a healthy population to an unhealthy population.
04:18 Hazard ratio is the odds of an event or lifestyle contributing to a disease.
05:35 Red meat does not spike glucose and insulin to the same degree as soda.
06:45 Look at the baseline characteristics of study participants.
12:55 Processed meats are generally unhealthy.
16:25 Increasing red meat consumption usually results in less body fat.
20:05 They did not track sugar-sweetened beverages, which increase the risk of diabetes.
22:25 The study was funded by an NIH grant.
22:35 Vegans and vegetarians eat the most ultra processed food.

0:00.0 | We looked at the baseline characteristics of the study participants. |
0:02.7 | We're comparing unhealthy people to more healthy people and where |
0:07.2 | the scientists are Harvard are trying to make the claim that the differentiating |
0:10.9 | factor here is the red meat. But as I alluded to, this is a classic example of healthy user bias. |
0:18.6 | The people who ate the least amount of red meat exercised more, they smoked less, they drank less alcohol, |
0:25.2 | they ate less calories, they took multivitamins, they were generally healthier. Hey, |
0:37.0 | waiting for the system to let me know that we are live. We're going to break down a new study. |
0:39.0 | Believe it or not, Harvard scientists are trying to make the claim that eating red meat will raise your |
0:44.5 | risk of developing type tube diabetes to an equivalent amount of drinking five sodas per week. |
0:51.5 | This is preposterous. We're going to break down an epidemiological study that was recently |
0:55.3 | published. It was Thursday of last week about four or five days ago and it is getting a lot of media |
1:00.5 | attention. A lot of folks are citing this article right here. I want to thank of live my friends. I really appreciate you tuning in with us live. Hopefully you can see and hear me |
1:14.0 | okay. If so hit that like button. Let me know in the comment section where you are viewing this from live. We have quite a few folks on with us now. |
1:20.4 | I'm gonna pop out the chat. Any question is fair game, nutrition, fasting, |
1:25.1 | exercise, dietary supplements. So let's dive into it. This study exemplifies all of the problems |
1:30.9 | with epidemiological studies. |
1:32.8 | And usually that entails healthy user bias, |
1:35.5 | as we're going to talk about, the people who ate the most red meat |
1:38.4 | exercised the least. |
1:40.4 | They smoked significantly more. |
1:42.4 | They drank more alcohol. They ate more calories. |
1:45.0 | So we're comparing a healthier population to an unhealthy population, my friends, and that is the problem. |
