| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr. |
| 0:07.7 | Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:13.2 | You know, you keep hearing this rumor going around that red meat will cause cancer, heart |
| 0:26.5 | attack, stroke and diabetes. Recently, there was an interesting study that came out that |
| 0:33.4 | analyzed five different meta-analysis, which are studies of studies and looked at all this |
| 0:40.1 | data and they came up with the conclusion that adults should continue their current consumption |
| 0:45.6 | of meat in process meat. And then in the flip side, you hear the opposite, right? The current |
| 0:50.4 | the USDA guidelines and say that, no, you need to decrease your consumption of meat and |
| 0:56.4 | start eating plant-based foods, et cetera, et cetera. In fact, this is the recommendation |

| 1:47.6 | studies that they do. This is what I found. Most of the research, I mean, if not almost all the |
| 1:54.7 | research is observational studies. This has to do with questionnaires. And you're relying on the |
| 2:01.2 | person's memory to remember what they ate. It's not very credible. It's kind of a good guess, |
| 2:06.8 | and you could make these studies look any way that you want them. I mean, there's so many variables |
| 2:12.4 | involved. And so you do this huge questionnaire with a lot of people over five years, and then you |
| 2:17.5 | come up with this conclusion. And so I have all the studies, the observational studies are the |
