11 Apr 2019 --- Replacing red meat with healthy plant proteins may be a running start to slashing the risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). This is according to researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Purdue University, who conducted the first meta-analysis of all previously published clinical trials evaluating the effects of red meat on blood lipids.Authors of the study recommend adherence to healthy vegetarian and Mediterranean-style diets, both for their health benefits and also to promote environmental sustainability.
