Is eating beef really bad for you? Does it cause heart attacks, strokes, and cancers, as we are constantly being told by diet dictocrats? It’s pretty easy to get confused, and we women are especially vulnerable, because we want to be healthy and look good, right?
What is the truth?
Consider the following:
- Studies indicate that, if our ancestors had not eaten red meats, the brain of humans would be 1/4 of its present size! During human evolution, our adaptation to red meat and the vital protein and fats it provides, is one of the KEY reasons behind the rapid growth in our intelligence and brain capacity.. without meat we still would be living in the trees eating bananas!
- In regions where people have the longest lifespan, the diet is based almost exclusively on meat of ruminant animals and cultured dairy products.
- Protein in beef and lamb provides plenty of building blocks for our body, ensuring strong lean muscles and healthy hormones.
- Red meat is an excellent source of vital minerals like zinc, iron, and magnesium. In meat, these minerals exist in form that is much easier for the body to absorb compared to the minerals in grains and pulses.
- Vitamin B12, which can be obtained ONLY from animal sources and which is abundant in beef, is crucial for a healthy nervous system and blood.
- The carnitine in red meat is essential for balanced and steady functioning of the eart.
- Beef and lamb fat is rich in linoleic and palmiotelic acids, which have strong anticancer effects and fight viruses and other pathogens.

Wow this is utter crap! Points one and two ignorant and have been shown to be totally bunk. Meat is just plain Nasty and the real facts according to The National Institute for Cancer is that red meat causes Cancer! Plus it is covered in feces. Enjoy your E-Coli covered cancer burger.
This is a ery nice to know information. Thanks for the article.
Beef has most of the good proteins and vitamins when cattle are allowed to feed off their natural diet. grass. it is when cattle are feed corn by-products and hundreds are stuck in feedlots that you get the results that YourDaddy is talking about. Cows don’t get E-Coli by eating grass and produce more Omega-3 fatty acids that do in fact help reduce many neurological problems like ADD or Alzheimer’s disease.
So - our brains are bigger because we ate meat??? Why haven’t are brains developed enough to know you can get all the nutrients from plant a based diet without harming the planet and without adding all that nasty artery clogging animal fat in your body? The animal industry is the #1 contributor to global warming and deforestation. I’ve been a healthy vegan for 6 years as I watch my over-weight, unhealthy omnivore friends and family get sick all the time. For health & heart - Go VEGAN
