01 Oct 2019 --- Most adults can continue to consume red and processed meat as they already do, since cutting back has little impact on health. This is according to a new study by Canadian researchers who systematically reviewed evidence on the impact of red meat consumption on cardiometabolic and cancer outcomes. But among negative industry reactions, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has slammed the findings, and advises that “consumers ignore the recommendations.” Furthermore, a group of scientists has also signed a letter to the Annals of Internal Medicine journal’s editor, where the study was published, requesting the papers be retracted on the basis of concerns over public understanding and health.
