From WSJopinion: Go ahead and have that steak, and hold the climate politics
By The Editorial Board Oct. 2, 2019 6:49 pm ET Where’s the Pepto Bismol? The medical-academic complex is experiencing a bad case of indigestion over new research this week in the Annals of Internal Medicine that rescinds the longtime recommendation to eat less red meat. Climate politics is now infecting even nutritional science.
Most studies discerned weak associations between red meat and poor health, but other variables could have tainted the results. For instance, people who eat more hamburgers may also consume less nutritious diets. Maybe the artery clogger isn’t the meat but the combination of cheese, salt, secret sauce, soda and fries. Or maybe people who eat more red meat also exercise less.
In sum, Americans should consume undercooked nutritional claims on red meat with skepticism. Thirty years ago people were instructed to eat less fat, but scientists have since concluded that was bad advice and may have contributed to the diabetes epidemic by causing people to eat more carbohydrates.
