A new study on meat consumption has found that people who eat red and processed meat have higher risks of heart disease and early death — contradicting recent research that suggested cutting out meat has few health benefits.
The multiple findings can make it "difficult for people to make sense of what can seem to be conflicting messages on food," said Duane Mellor, a dietician at Britain's Aston University who was not directly involved with either study.
But looking at the research in the round, he and others said, moderation may be the best way forward.
