Red meat beats plants in every way claims expert who says nutrition science is built on myths

According to Dr. Georgia Ede, red meat is in fact one of the most nutritious foods available to us, and “there are no plant foods on the planet” that are both metabolically safe and nutritionally complete.

“Almost everything that we’ve heard about red meat comes from either very poorly designed rodent studies or human studies… or comes from a field of nutrition study that is based on guesswork—untested theories about what we think a healthy diet should look like.”

“But when you actually look at the biology… what you discover is that whole animal foods like red meat, seafood, poultry—these foods contain every nutrient we need in its proper, most user-friendly form.”

“These foods do not have the ability to spike your glucose into the danger zone. So they’re metabolically safe, and they are nutritionally complete… There are no plant foods on the planet that are capable of doing both of those things.”

“Most plant foods don’t contain many of the nutrients that the brain needs… So it’s very important for people to understand that if there were really only one food that they could prioritise in their lives… it would be meat, seafood, poultry, and eggs.”
