The Inuit have horrible health, horrible bone problems, horrible heart health, they die young.. If you wanna model your health on that.. I dunno what to say, look unbiased studies, not the ones which were cherry picked for the Paleo fad.
A lot of this was determined before all that stuff you mentioned.. Back in like.. 1970 I think? Or maybe even earlier. They aren't healthy, there's never been an unbiased study showing they were.
Since the introduction of wheat, soda, pizza and other plant-based foods, their health has plummeted
It's funny you blame plants on all of that but don't mention any animal products.. It seems like you're biased and not interested in a real discussion.
The answer is to eat a balanced diet, not too much of anything.
According to studies anything more than like 10% animal protein becomes a problem.. So.. Yeah.. It's like smoking a cig once and a while versus being a chain smoker, but it's not healthy.
You probably won't get cancer if you eat meat once and a while, but if you chain eat it, much better odds!
This is specific to ANIMAL PROTEIN, NOT PLANT PROTEIN.
If you eat meat more than like once a week, you're probably eating too much.
"If you eat meat more than like once a week, you're probably eating too much."
You need some perspective. Bacon is one of the worst meats out there..
"As Cancer Research UK points out in an astute blog, colorectal cancer is itself relatively rare. If you eat barely any meat, there is a 5.6% risk of developing the disease over your lifetime; even if you pig out on bacon and ham every day, it only rises to about 6.6%. In other words, for every 100 people who stop eating bacon, only one will have avoided cancer. To put that in perspective, consider the figures for tobacco: for every 100 smokers who give up, 10-15 lives may be saved. The two are hardly comparable." http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20151029-are-any-foods-safe-to-eat-anymore-heres-the-truth
