A Russian doctor refutes the myth about red meat

Russian doctor and TV presenter, Alexander Myasnikov, said on Russia 1 TV channel that moderate consumption of red meat does not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Until 2020, he said, “the whole world” believes that red meat increases the risk of heart disease.

And Myasnikov pointed out that “just before the Corona virus, we reviewed all the data that had accumulated over the years about the relationship between meat and its provocation to atherosclerosis, etc.”.

As a result, it turned out that there is no reliable data on this relationship.

“Large amounts (red meat) can increase (risk) of intestinal tumors. We’re not sure about the heart, and today they don’t talk about it as categorically as we’ve been talking about all these decades,” the doctor said.

At the same time, urge you to eat red meat in moderation, no more than three times a week.
