2.1. Population studies on red meat and health
Two large population studies in Europe (Rohrmann et al., 2013) and
the United States (Kappeler et al., 2013) found no association between
unprocessed red meat and any cause of death, including CVD or cancer.
Unlike many earlier studies, these more recent studies explored health
outcomes associated with unprocessed and processed meats separately.
The findings fromthese studies provide good support for recommending
both unprocessed red and white meats as part of a healthy balanced diet.
