Consuming red meat won’t affect short-term blood pressure, cholesterol
A new article in Bel Marra Health discusses a recent study by Purdue University which found eating red meat does not affect high blood pressure and cholesterol, common cardiovascular disease risk factors.
The study examined 24 research articles that had data on how much red meat people had consumed. Results showed eating a half a serving of red meat every day, or one three-ounce serving three times a week, did not raise blood pressure and cholesterol over a short period of time.
The research was led by Wayne Campell, a professor of nutrition science, Lauren O’Connor, a doctoral student, and Jung Eun Kim, a post-doctoral researcher.
