Congratulations to Nick and Bailey B. on the birth of their son Brexten! Welcome to the family Brexton!
On Friday I posted about the latest "red meat will definately kill ya" study. No need to cover what the authors of the study said, you can go back and check it out if you're interested. What is cool is that over the last week, many folks who we consider authorities on the subject of nutrition have weighed in with not only their opinions on the study itself, but with more general analysis of how many studies find an association between one thing and another (red meat and premature death) and without any science at all, the results are made public in a way that indicates that one thing causes the other (red meat causes premature death).
Gary Taubes (author if Good Calories, Bad Calories and Why We Get Fat) has posted a great write-up titled Science, Pseudoscience, Nutritional Epidemiology,and Meat where he gets into the issues with observational studies in depth. It's long, but you may find it interesting.
Zoe Harcombe has also done a write-up on the study itself titled Red Meat & Mortality & The Usual Bad Science. Our Paleo hero Robb Wolf also chimed in with Red MEat: Part of a Healthy Diet. We give you all this not because we think you have plenty of free time and nothing better to do, but because we want you to have all the information so you can make informed decisions. We want to educate you on what you put in your body and how it impacts your health and you performance. Knowledge is power! The more we can do to share this stuff with you, the more knowledge you'll have to not only make the right choices, but to understand why those choices are right! Please hit us up with any questions, you know we love talking about this stuff!
