#3 Myth about Red Meat: Red meat is completely unhealthy.

Fact:
If you think red meat has no nutritional value and contains only fats with bad cholesterol, then you are wrong. Red meat is a good source for proteins, vitamin B12, iron and zinc. This means that it makes you stronger, improves and boosts your immunity. 

Bottom-line: Consume red meat to increase hemoglobin. It also repairs and builds muscle, but consume in moderation and trim fat.

  • Red meat causes weight gain
  • Red meat causes high cholesterol
  • Red meat is completely unhealthy
  • Red meat is the only source of saturated fats
  • So if red meat is not unhealthy, I can eat as much of it as I want.
  • Red meat causes cancer
  • Red meat causes gout
  • Red meat is bad for the heart
